Project description:A subset of medulloblastomas, the most common brain tumor in children, is hypothesized to originate from granule neuron precursors (GNPs) in which the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway is over-activated. MXD3, a basic helix-look-helix zipper transcription factor of the MAD family, has been reported to be upregulated during postnatal cerebellar development and to promote GNP proliferation and MYCN expression. Mxd3 is upregulated in mouse models of medulloblastoma as well as in human medulloblastomas. Therefore, we hypothesize that MXD3 plays a role in the cellular events that lead to medulloblastoma biogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify changes in gene expression in response to MXD3. RNA from MXD3 stable cell lines compared to vector-only cell lines and to parental (DAOY) cell line.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of DAOY stable cell lines expressing a tamoxifen inducible MXD3. Data was normalized to a null version of MXD3 (unable to bind DNA). Goal of the study was to identify candidate genes regulated by MXD3.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34050: ChIP-chip from DAOY cells stably expressing HA-MXD3 with anti-HA GSE34100: Expression profiling of MXD3 stable cell lines Refer to individual Series

Project description:The goal of this study was to profile the total proteome and transcriptome of the established medulloblastoma cell lines, Daoy and UW228, using label-free nano-LC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomics and high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), coupled with pathway analysis to identify differentially expressed genes, proteins and signaling pathways with potential as prognostic markers. A total of 14250 and 12870 transcripts were detected for Daoy and UW228, respectively. Proteomic profiling identified 2630 and 1235 proteins in Daoy and UW228, representing 18% and 10% of detected transcripts, respectively. Interestingly, Daoy proteome included >50% unique proteins, while almost 90% of proteins expressed by UW228 were commonly expressed in Daoy. Differential expression of a number of adhesion, cytoskeletal and signaling molecules were observed between the two cell lines. Upregulation of a number of proteins and enrichment of key signaling pathways, including WNT, Sonic hedgehog (SHH) and integrin signaling pathways, were uniquely observed in MB cell lines, in particular in Daoy.
