Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq analysis for the binding of ARID1A abundance genome-wide. These studies were performed in MCF10A, the human non-transformed breast epithelial cell line, with ARID1A knockdown and control group.
Project description:TGF-betas have complex roles in tumorigenesis, with context-dependent effects that can either suppress or promote tumor progression. Our goal was to use integrated genomic approaches in a model of human breast cancer progression to identify core TGF-beta-regulated genes that specifically reflect the tumor suppressor activity of TGF-beta. The model consisted of the non-tumorigenic MCF10A (“M1”), the premalignant MCF10AT1k.cl2 (“M2”), the early malignant MCF10Ca1h (“M3”) and the highly malignant, metastatic MCF10Ca1a.cl1 (“M4”) cell lines. We have previously shown that tumor suppressor activity of TGF-beta is dependent on Smad3, and is lost in M4 cells. To identify how TGF-beta/Smad3 targets change with cancer progression, we performed promoter-wide Smad3 ChIP-chip on all four cell lines of the breast cancer progression model (M1-M4), following treatment with TGF-beta or vehicle control.
Project description:The non-tumourigenic human breast epithelial cell line MCF10A is the cell line most commonly used as a model for normal human breast cells. This dataset provides a reference genome for MCF10A. The whole genome, high-throughput sequencing was performed using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 PE150 system. Both NGS and bioinformatic analysis were performed by Novogene (UK).
Project description:MCF10A series is one of the few human models of breast tumor progression. A derivative of MCF10A cells is the MCFDCIS, which reproducibly forms comedo DCIS-like lesions that spontaneously progress to invasive tumors. We used this model to explore the relative importance of myoepithelial cells and stromal fibroblasts in the in situ to invasive breast carcinoma transition. We use Affymetrix 11K XbaI or 250K StyI SNP arrays to analyze the MCF10A series cells and MCFDCIS derived xenografts for copy number changes and LOH (loss of heterozygosity). Keywords: Cell line, xenografts of time course/co-injection groups, different cell types isolated from xenografts
Project description:Examination of Pin1-regulated Myc target genes in a human breast epithelial cell line. Two samples: control GFP-expressing MCF10A-Myc cells and Pin1-expressing MCF10A-Myc cells.
Project description:The Runx1 transcription factor is essential for hematopoietic differentiation and mutations underlie various leukemias. Here we demonstrate a role for Runx1 in the MCF10 cell series model of breast cancer progression. The highest level of Runx1 that occurs in normal like mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A) is decreased in tumorigenic (MCF10AT1) and metastatic (MCF10CA1a) breast cancer cells. We show that depletion of Runx1 in MCF10A cells results in striking changes in cell morphology and induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) via several signaling pathways. Analyses of breast tumors and patient survival data reveal that loss of Runx1 is associated with poor prognosis and decreased survival. Re-expressing Runx1 in MCF10AT1 breast cancer cells restores the epithelial phenotype. These results identify a novel function for Runx1 in sustaining normal epithelial morphology and preventing EMT. These mechanisms suggest Runx1 levels in early stage tumors can be used as a prognostic indicator of tumor progression.
Project description:MicroRNAs are noncoding, endogenous small RNAs that regulate target genes by cleavage of the targeted mRNA or translational repression. We investigated the microRNAome using 2-color microarrays in a highly invasive human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231 (sub line 4175) and a non-invasive breast epithelial cell line, MCF10A. We found 13 miRNAs that were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated significantly in 4175 cells (p <0.05, fold change >2) compared with MCF10A cells. We compared the highly metastatic human breast cell lines MDA-MB-231 (4175 subline) with non-metastatic MCF10A cell lines. Two 4175 sublines and two MCF10A cell lines, independently grown and harvested. Dye swap was performed.
