Project description:Proteome analysis of Lung tissue of mice bearing B16-F10-luc-G5 melanoma tumor with sleep fragmentation and with or with out the asdmistration of GL-pp. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group in general condition with no further treatment (CON group), tumor group with the burden of B16-F10-luc-G5 cells (Tumor group), T+SF group with SF and the burden of B16-F10-luc-G5 cells (T+SF group), and GL-pp group with SF, tumor cells burden, and the administration of 80 mg/kg GL-pp (GL-pp group). B16-F10-luc-G5 cells (5 × 1000000 cells/100 µL per mouse) were injected into the mice through the tail vein. The lung tissue of T+SF group and GL-pp group were analyzed by the proteome.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression profile of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells exposed to hypoxic conditions (1% oxygen) or hypoxia mimicry (cobalt chloride) for 24 hours. Gene expression profiles were analyzed using MG-U74Av2 oligonucleotide microarrays. Data analysis revealed 2541 probesets (FDR<5%) for 1% oxygen experiment and 364 probesets (FDR<5%) for cobalt chloride, that showed differences in expression levels. Analysis of hypoxia-regulated genes (1% O2) by stringent Family-Wise Error Rate estimation indicated 454 significantly changed transcripts (p<0.05). The most upregulated genes were Lgals3, Selenbp1, Nppb (more than ten-fold increase). Both hypoxia and hypoxia-mimicry induced HIF-1 regulated genes. However, unsupervised analysis (Singular Value Decomposition) revealed distinct differences between gene expression induced by these two experimental conditions. We investigated transcriptional activity of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells cultured for 24h under hypoxic (nominal 1% oxygen; 9 experimental samples and 6 controls) and hypoxia-mimicking conditions (cobalt chloride, 100 M-NM-<M or 200 M-NM-<M, 2 samples each and 2 controls).
Project description:Comparison of Macrophages from lungs 24hrs post-injection with B16-F10 Melanoma Cells expressing the Fluoresence Protein ZsGreen. ZsGreen+ and ZsGreen- macrophages were sorted and transcriptome compared.
Project description:B16-F10 malignant mouse melanoma cells have been frequently used as highly metastatic cells. Based on heterogenous cell surface expression of Met/HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) receptor in B16-F10 cells, the cells were divided into Met-low and Met-high cells by flow cytometry and these populations were subjected to microarray analysis. Met-low and Met-high cells showed different expression profiles in genes involved characteristics of tumors, including stem cell maintenance, pigmentation, and angiogenesis.
Project description:We previously showed that transgenic enhancement of histamine production in B16-F10 melanomas strongly supports tumor growth in C57Bl/6 mice (Cancer Res, 2005 Pos et al.). In this array experiment, gene expression profiles of transgenic mouse melanomas, secreting different amounts of histamine, were compared by whole genome microarrays. Experiment Overall Design: By modifying the levels of L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC), the sole enzyme responsible for histamine production, we introduced three novel variants of the B16-F10 mouse melanoma cell line, displaying diminished (B16-F10 HDC-A), unmodified (B16-F10 HDC-M) or enhanced (B16-F10 HDC-S) capacities to produce and secrete histamine. Experiment Overall Design: In this experiment, B16-F10 HDC-A, HDC-M, and HDC-S experimental mouse melanomas were compared by analyzing 6-6 tumors in each group. Experiment Overall Design: In order to reduce the amount of arrays required, equal amounts of randomly chosen RNA sample pairs were pooled in each group, thus, at the end, each group consisted of 3 pooled tumor samples. All samples were biological replicates, no technical replicates or dye swapping were done. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression patterns of the three tumor groups were compared indirectly, via a common reference samplei n a two-color array design. Arrays shown here represent gene expression patterns of individual tumor samples compared to the reference sample.
