Project description:NOS1 plays a vital role in tumor. A cell model of NOS1 gene knockout in human melanoma cell line A375 was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technique for the study of its function. We used microarrays to detail the Global gene expression underlying NOS1-knockout compare to wild type A375 cell.
Project description:We aimed to analyze the effects of Wnt-1 overexpression on the mRNA expression profile of human melanoma in a mouse xenograft model and correlated the results with then presence or absence of lymphangiogenesis and metastasis. Affymetrix gene expression analysis revealed activation of canonical and non-canonical targets genes in response to Wnt-1 as compared with controls. In regard to lymphangiogenic factors, the amount of VEGF-C was the single best marker to correlate with the amount of lymph-angiogenesis. mRNA expression array of human melanoma orthotopically grown in SCID mice. Comparison includes mRNA expression profile of two melanoma cell-lines (A375 and M24met) stably overexpressing control vector or Wnt-1 treated with or without CsA. Comparison #1 comprised Wnt-1 versus control in A375 and M24met melanoma, respectively. Comparison #2 comprised Wnt-1 + Cyclosporine A (CsA) versus Wnt-1 without CsA.
Project description:The proteomes and the miRNomes of melanoma cells and secreted vesicles of normoxic and hypoxic A375, 501Mel, MelJuso and IPC298 melanoma cells were characterized. Here are the data related to the miRNome of cell extracts for the 4 cell lines, in normoxia and hypoxia conditions.
Project description:To understand the transcriptional impact of FOXD3 in melanoma cells, we utilized a microarray approach. We collected RNA from three unrelated mutant B-RAF melanoma cell lines (WM115, WM793, and A375) that were engineered to inducibly express FOXD3 or the control gene, ?-galactosidase (LacZ), after 5 days of transgene induction. This time point was chosen based on maximal phenotypic changes previously observed. Comparison of gene signatures between the 3 cell lines produced approximately 2,600 common genes differentially regulated by FOXD3-expressing cells compared to the LacZ controls. Three unrelated mutant B-RAF melanoma cell lines (WM115, WM793, and A375) were induced to express FOXD3 and compared against the same cell lines expressing the control gene, ?-galactosidase (LacZ).
Project description:Genome-wide expression profiling of stably NGFR transfected melanoma cells was used to identify genes driven by expression of the nerve growth factor receptor CD271 (NGFR). Stable overexpression of NGFR (CD271): Generation of cell lines stably overexpressing CD271 (NGFR), melanoma cells were transfected with 2 µg of a plasmid expressing GFP-tagged human NGFR (RG207966, OriGene) and selected with G418 (100-300 µg/ml, PAA) over a period of two weeks followed by sub-cloning or FACS. Gene expression profiling: Whole genome expression profiling of T20/02 and A375 cells (NGFR) and control cells (Mock or GFP) was performed with three biological replicates. Illumina raw data of BeadChip HumanHT-12V4 platform were summarized via the BeadStudio without normalization and background correction. Follow-up processing was done via the R/Bioconductor environment employing packages lumi, limma and q-value. Data were normalized with quantile normalization. Genes were termed significantly differentially expressed when the average detection p-value of at least one case was < 0.05 the ratio was outside the interval [0.75,1.33], one of the p-values from limma test, Student's t-test, Welch test and Wilcoxon test was < 0.05. At least one of the q-values corresponding to one of these tests < 0.05.
Project description:Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancers and, there is a continuous need to develop early biomarkers as well as treatments to improve the survivability of patients. Ambra1 is an essential regulator in autophagy and it has been recently shown to have a role in cell proliferation. We used microarrays to analyse the transcriptomic changesi n A375 melanoma cell lines following Ambra1 differential expression
