Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE21549: Expression profiles of EDTA-dissociated colon epithelial cells of wild-type mice and vil-Cre-Bcl9-/-/Bcl9l-/- mice. GSE21576: Expression profiles of laser dissected colon tumor samples of wild-type mice and vil-Cre-Bcl9-/-/Bcl9l-/- mice Refer to individual Series
Project description:To assess potential changes in Wnt signaling more comprehensively, EDTA-dissociated colon epithelial cells from three pools of wild-type and Bcl9/Bcl9l-mutant mice were subjected to an exploratory comparative gene expression profiling. Total RNA of three samples of EDTA-dissociated colon epithelial cells of wild-type mice and three samples of vil-Cre-Bcl9-/-/Bcl9l-/- mice, each sample consisting of material of two or three different mice, was collected and resulting amplified cDNA hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. Samples are labeled as follows: Genotype_PoolID _UniqueID_NumberOfMice.
Project description:To investigate the impact of ablating Bcl9/Bcl9l on tumorigenesis, 6-8- week-old mice were exposed first to a single dose dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 44 mg/kg body weight), which is metabolized in the liver to carcinogenic azoxymethane (AOM), followed by 7 days oral administration of 2 % dextrane sulfate sodium (DSS) in the drinking water. This regimen results in the emergence of dysplastic adenomas, which progress to differentiated adenocarcinomas that are morphologically similar to human colorectal adenocarcinomas and typically harbor β-catenin stabilizing mutations of GSK3ß phosphorylation sites. Accordingly, these tumors present hallmarks of active Wnt signaling such as accumulation of nuclear β-catenin and expression of Wnt target genes. Total RNA of laser dissected samples from five different tumors each of two wild-type mice and three vil-Cre-Bcl9-/-/Bcl9l-/- mice was collected and resulting amplified cDNA hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. Samples are labeled as follows: Genotype_TumorID_MouseID_UniqueID.

Project description:Microarray transcriptomic analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded small intestinal tumors from control (Apcmin/+;Vil-Cre-/-;RhoADN/-) and DN-RhoA (Apcmin/+;Vil-CreTG/-;RhoADN/-) mice.
Project description:To analyse roles of HAI-1/Spint1 in intestinal tumorigenesis, we examined the effect of intestine-specific deletion of Spint1 gene on Apc(Min/+) mice. The loss of Hai-1/Spint1 significantly accelerated tumor formation in ApcMin/+ mice and shortened their survival periods. Mouse small intestine tumor tissue or background mucosa lacking macroscopically visible tumors were proceeded to RNA extraction and hybridization on microarrays (Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array). Non-tumor or tumor intestinal mucosa tissues of Apc (Min/+)/Spint1 (flox/flox) mice and non-tumor or tumor intestinal mucosa tissues of Apc (Min/+)/Spint1 (flox/flox)/Vil-Cre mice were analysed. The experiment was repeated respectively.
Project description:To study the role of Ezh2 in growth plate, we generated Ezh1 complete knockout, Ezh2 cartilage-specific knockout mice (Ezh1-/-, Col2-cre Ezh2 f/f) and compared it with Ezh2 wildtype littermates (Ezh1 -/-, Col2-cre Ezh2 +/+). Proliferative zone (PZ) and Hypertrophic zones (HZ) of proximal tibial growth plate were dissected from 3-day old mice by laser capture microdissection and RNA were isolated by pico pure RNA isolation kit
