Project description:Hey3Met2 cells were stably transfected with plasmids encoding either wild-type RNASET2 or a catalytically dead form (whose cDNA has been previously mutagenized in the two CAS catalytic sites) or with the empty vector as a control. The control of ovarian tumorigenesis by RNASET2 occurs through modification of the cellular microenvironment and involvement of immunocompetent cells, thus providing evidence for specific modulations of cellular responses induced by RNASET2 that might underlay ovarian tumorigenesis. In order to get more inside on the effect of RNASET2 on the modulation of other genes, a whole genome expression has been run on Hey3Met2 cell transfected with wildtype or mutated RNASET2. Hey3Met2 human ovarian cancer cells were transfected with espression vectors encoding either wild type or catalitycally dead mutant RNASET2. Clones transfected with the empty vectors were used as negative controls. Three independent clones were used for the each type of transfected plasmid.

Project description:SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 are two mutually exclusive ATPase subunits of SWI/SNF complex. SMARCA4 deficient lung cancer population selectively depend on SMARCA2 for cancer growth phenotype. Rescue experiments with ectopic expression of wild-type, bromodomain mutant and ATPase dead SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 highlight that ATPase domain is the drug target. In this study, we performed genome-wide microarray and differential gene expression profiling on isogenic lung cancer lines expressing cDNA rescue constructs for wild-type, bromodomain mutant and ATPase dead SMARCA2 and SMARCA4
Project description:To investigate the effects of PTEN activity on gene expression in 3D cultured glioblastoma cells and the contributions of PTEN's lipid and protein phosphatase activities to these effects. We expressed wild type PTEN, a catalytically dead mutant (C124S) or mutants selectively lacking protein or lipid phosphatase activity (Y138L and G129E respectively) in U87MG cells at physiological levels by transient unselected polyclonal lentiviral transduction. Cells were then seeded into 3D matrigel and RNA prepared after 15 hours.
Project description:The goal of this analysis was to investigate the targets of the influenza A host shutoff ribonuclease PA-X. We profiled the relative levels of cellular RNAs in cells infected with influenza A virus (A/PuertoRico/8/1934 H1N1) comparing wild-type and mutants that make reduced levels of PA-X and/or make a truncated and inactive PA-X. We also profiled relative RNA levels in cells overexpressing wild-type PA-X or a catalytically inactive mutant (D108A).
Project description:RNASET2-deficient leukoencephalophathy is a severe leukodystrophy affecting children with psychomotor impairements in their forst year of life. We generated the first zebrafish model for a human leukodystrophy by targetting the ortholog rnaset2 gene using mutagenesis. This zebrafish mutant recapitulated the human clinical manisfestations and developed white matter defects detectable by MRI. Additionally, this zebrafish mutant identified this disease as a lysosomal storage disorders, with RNA accumulating in neurons. To understand how accumulation of RNA in neurons trigger white matter lesions, we undertook an unbiased approach and perfored microarray analysis. We identified differentially expressed genes in mutants and the immune system as a key pathway disregulated in the zebrafish rnaset2 mutant.
Project description:To investigate the molecular pathways underlying RNASET2-mediated tumor suppression in vivo, we investigated the gene expression profile of tumor samples obtained from control and RNASET2-silenced OVCAR3 xenografts, respectively. In order to evaluate the contribution of human cancer cells and the murine host stroma to RNASET2-mediated tumorigenesis responses, total RNA extracted from tumor xenografts derived from six independent OVCAR3 cell clones (three parental and three RNASET2-silenced clones) was fluorescently labeled and hybridized to human Agilent whole-genome microarrays.
Project description:Primary human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) were infected with wild-type herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain 17 or its vhs null mutant, or with BAC-derived viruses expressing either a wild-type or catalytically inactive vhs with the D195N mutation at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10. Chromatin-associated RNA was prepared and subjected to RNA-seq.

Control and RNASET2-silenced OVCAR3 were injected subcutaneously into nude mice. After 39 days mice were sacrified, tumors were extracted and total RNA purified.
Project description:This experiment was designed to determine the extent of gene misregulation in mESCs containing catalytically dead Ring1B in comparison to mESCs lacking Ring1B. Polyadenylated mRNA was prepared from wildtype mESCs (WT), mESCs deficient for Ring1B (KO) and mESCs cells containing catalytically dead Ring1B (I53A). Each sample is represented by 3 biological replicate hybridisations.
