ABSTRACT: mRNAs and miRNAs expression data from AOM/DSS, AOM, DSS and control mouse colon epithelial tissue at day100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice
Project description:To find out which miRNAs are significantly differential expression and potentially involved in the process of inflammation promoting carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). We established a colitis-associated CRC (AOM/DSS, Azoxymethane/Dextran sulfate sodium salt) model, colitis (DSS) model and high dose carcinogen (AOM, about 5 times AOM amount given than AOM/DSS model) model. At day 100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice (colitis-associated CRC mice) but no tumor was found in AOM (high dose carcinogen) and DSS model, we employed miRNA microarray as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to involve in the progression of CRC promoted by inflammation. 5-7 weeks female BALB/c mice, (1) AOM/DSS group: AOM 12.5mg/kg i.p. at day 1, DSS drinking 5d/21dx3circles from day 5; (2) AOM group: AOM 10mg/kg i.p. 1/weekx6 from day 1; (3) DSS group: DSS drinking 5d/21dx3circles from day 5. The distal colon epithelial tissues were collected at day100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice. The miRNA microarray experiments were performed together.

Project description:This study identifies a novel mechanism linking IL-17A with colon tissue repair and tumor development. Abrogation of IL-17A signaling mice attenuated tissue repair of DSS-induced damage in colon epithelium and markedly reduced tumor development in AOM/DSS model of colitis-associated cancer. The goal of these studies is to identify genes associated with IL-17RC deficiency during AOM-DSS induced tumorigenesis
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are using transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to evaluate the effects of anti-S100a9 antibody on the global transcriptome of the colon tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse model (a model that mimics the human colitis-associated colon cancer development). Methods: 36 five-week-old male ICR mice were randomized divided into three groups: control (i.e. no AOM/DSS and antibody treatment), AOM/DSS+IgG Ab (1.5 mg/kg), and AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab (1.5 mg/kg). Mice were intraperitoneal injected with a single dose of 10 mg/kg azoxymethane (AOM) (A5486; Sigma) on day 1. One week after the AOM injection, mice were given three cycles of DSS (cycle 1: 2%, 7 days; cycle 2: 1.5%, 5 days; and cycle 3: 1.5%, 5 days, DSS: 36–50 kDa; MP Biomedicals, CA, USA) in their drinking water, and then distilled water until the end of the experiment. Antibodies were administrated intravenously every two days during the three cycles of DSS treatment. Mice were sequentially killed randomly at the end of the 18th week, and at least five mice were killed for each group at each time point. RNAs were extracted by Trizol and sequenced by Solexa high-throughput sequencing service (Oebiotech, Shanghai, China). Data were extracted and normalized according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol.Each group has three mices' colon tissues be tested. Results: Log-fold changes of up- or down-regulated mRNAs between the control and experiment group were selected with a significance threshold of p<0.05. There are 1017 mRNAs were up-regulated and 815 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+IgG Ab" group comparing to “control" group. There are 385 mRNAs were up-regulated and 163 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab" group comparing to “control" group. There are 1314 mRNAs were up-regulated and 968 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab" group comparing to “AOM/DSS+IgG Ab". Conclusions: Our study describes the global transciptome changes of colon tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse model induced by anti-S100a9 antibody treatment.
Project description:Lgr5-EGFP-IRES-Cre-ERT2 mice were exposed to azoxymethane/dextrane sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS) which induces inflammation-driven colon tumors. Tumors were then flow-sorted into fractions of epithelial cells that expressed high or low levels of Lgr5. To exclude that transcriptional differences between Lgr5 high and low mouse colon tumor cells were imposed by distinct patterns of chromosomal aberrations in the two cell fractions, we also performed array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) from these tumors. All eight analyzed tumors were chromosomally stable, and thus, no difference between Lgr5 high and low cells could be detected. AOM/DSS-induced mouse colon tumors were flow-sorted into Lgr5 high and low cells before aCGH was performed. Biological replicates: 8. Two CGH array platforms.
Project description:To further elucidate the role of the intestinal stem cell marker Leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) in colorectal cancer (CRC), we exposed Lgr5-EGFP-IRES-Cre-ERT2 mice to azoxymethane/dextrane sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS) which induces inflammation-driven colon tumors. Tumors were then flow-sorted into fractions of epithelial cells that expressed high or low levels of Lgr5 and were characterized using gene expression profiling. In the AOM/DSS-induced mouse colon tumors Lgr5 high cells showed higher levels of several stem cell-associated genes and higher Wnt signaling than Lgr5 low tumor cells and Lgr5 high normal colon epithelial cells. To further elucidate the role of the intestinal stem cell marker Leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) in colorectal cancer (CRC), we transduced SW480 CRC cells with lentiviral shRNA constructs to silence LGR5 expression. This resulted in a depletion of spheres but did not affect adherently growing cells. Spheres expressed higher levels of several stem cell-associated genes than adherent cells. Notch signaling was down-regulated upon LGR5 silencing. This was confirmed by immunohistochemistry against cleaved NOTCH1. Normal mouse colons and AOM/DSS-induced mouse colon tumors were flow-sorted into Lgr5 high and low cells before gene expression was measured. Fifteen independent experiments were performed using seven individual mice for normal colons and eight for tumors. Appropriate LGR5 status was confirmed by real-time qRT-PCR before measuring silencing induced gene expression. Three independent experiments were performed for each cell fraction using separately cultured cells for each experiment.
