Project description:Three types of stimuli -- heat shock, Lipofectamine 2000 and benzyl alcohol -- induce activity of some stress genes (hsp) in mouse B16-F10 cells. Besides hsp genes induction, each stimulus causes gene expression changes of different sets of genes. We used microarrays to analyze global gene expression changes in mouse B16-F10 cells treated with elevated temperature (heat shock, HS), with Lipofectamine 2000 (LA) or with 40mM benzyl alcohol (BA).

In order to study how lipofection may affect cellular homeostasis, we used Affymetrix microarrays to analyze the whole transcriptome of mouse B16-F10 cells treated with Lipofectamine 2000. To find out which genes are affected, we compared the cells treated with Lipofectamine (LA1, LA2, LA3), the cells treated with 40mM benzyl alcohol (BA1, BA2, BA3), heat-shocked cells (HS1, HS2, HS3) and control, untreated cells (C1-5). RNA was extracted from cells 30 min after treatment.
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: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.
Project description:IRF4 deficient NK cells displayed more resistant to exhaustion during B16-F10 metastasis, to investigate how IRF4 deletion enhances the resistance of NK cells to exhaustion, we sorted NK cells from WT and Irf4-/- mice ingected with B16-F10 or not for RNA-seq
Project description:extracellular PTEN treatment did not affect the growth of PTEN knockout B16-F10 cells cultured in vitro. , To investigate whether extracellular PTEN act on the tumor microenvironment to exert a tumor-suppressive role in vivo，molecular changes caused by PTEN treatment inside the B16-F10-PTEN tumors were monitored by RNA sequencing.
Project description:We have shown that C57BL/6J CCR5 knockout mice develop 30.4% ± 8.6% fewer B16 F10 lung nodules compared to wild type mice after the intravenous injection of 100,000 B16 F10 cells. We sought to understand this phenomenon by comparing gene expression in the lungs of these mice at 6, 24, and 48 hours after tumor injection.
Project description:identify the potential partners of STC1 at the protein level, we performed mass spectrometry on B16-F10 tumor cells stably expressing FLAG-tagged STC1.
Project description:We have shown that C57BL/6J CCR5 knockout mice develop 30.4% ± 8.6% fewer B16 F10 lung nodules compared to wild type mice after the intravenous injection of 100,000 B16 F10 cells. We sought to understand this phenomenon by comparing gene expression in the lungs of these mice at 6, 24, and 48 hours after tumor injection. There were 6 groups or conditions (CCR5 - 6 hours, WT - 6 hours, CCR5 - 24 hours, WT - 24 hours, CCR5 - 48 hours, WT - 48 hour); each group had 4 to 5 mice. All of the mice were injected with 100,000 B16 F10 melanoma cells by tail vein. At the designated time, the mice were anesthetized with Avertin and their lungs were perfused with PBS. After this, the lungs were harvested and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. They were kept at minus 80 degrees C until processing. mRNA was extracted as described below and equivalent amounts of mRNA (by weight) was pooled by group.
