Project description:The ability of high-risk neuroblastoma to survive unfavorable growth conditions and multimodal therapy is hypothesized to result from a phenomenon known as reversible adaptive plasticity (RAP). RAP is a novel phenomenon enabling neuroblastoma cells to transition between a proliferative anchorage dependent (AD) state and a slow growing anoikis-resistant anchorage independent (AI) state. We used microarrays to investigate the global gene expression profiles in AD and AI cells, and to identify the differential expressed genes within signaling pathways contributing to the reversible adaptive plasticity between AD and AI cells.

Comparison of microarray data from AD cells (n=4 independent cultures) versus AI cells (n=4 independent cultures) were performed using Partek Genomics Suite 6.5. Differentially expressed genes with an FDR M-bM-^IM-$5% and a fold-change M-bM-^IM-%1.5 were selected for pathway analysis.
Project description:The roles of histone demethylase KDM7 in gene expression were analyzed by gene expression profiling experiments with mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A. Keywords: mouse neuroblastoma, Neuro2A, gene expression profiling, microarray, Affimetrix M430 2.0 chip In order to examine the effect of KDM7 in gene expression, we generated stable KDM7 knockdown cell lines in mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A. Total RNAs were extracted from 5 cell lines (parental cells: Neuro2A, empty vector: Neuro2A transfected with empty vector, EGFP KD: Neuro2A transfected with vector for EGFP knock down, KDM7 KD1: Neuro2A transfected with vector 1 for KDM7 knock down, and KDM7 KD2: Neuro2A transfected with vector 2 for KDM7 knock down) and analyzed for gene expression profiles using Affymetrix platform.
Project description:Orthotopic tumors were previously generated from parental Prostate Luminal (PLum) cells under androgen‑dependent (PLum-AD) and androgen‑independent (PLum-AI) conditions in order to establish cellular models of prostate cancer progression (Abou-Kheir et al., 2011; doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0026112). We used microarrays to evaluate the differential gene expression profiles underlying progression of prostate cancer from primary androgen-dependent stage to advanced androgen-independent stage using newly isolated murine prostate cancer cell lines. Those cell lines represent novel in vitro models of androgen‑dependent and –independent prostate cancer, recapitulating the progression of the disease to a more invasive phenotype upon androgen deprivation.

Project description:The molecular function of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) and the mechanism by which it may contribute to neurotoxicity in prion diseases and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are only partially understood. Mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2a cells and, more recently, C2C12 myocytes and myotubes have emerged as popular models for investigating the cellular biology of PrP. Mouse epithelial NMuMG cells might become attractive models for studying the possible involvement of PrP in a morphogenetic program underlying epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions. Here we describe the generation of PrP knockout clones from these cell lines using CRISPR-Cas9 knockout technology. More specifically, knockout clones were generated with two separate gRNAs targeting recognition sites on opposite strands within the first hundred nucleotides of the Prnp coding sequence. Several PrP knockout clones were isolated and genomic insertions and deletions near the CRISPR-target sites were characterized. Subsequently, deep quantitative global proteome analyses that recorded the relative abundance of > 3000 proteins were undertaken to begin to characterize the molecular consequences of PrP deficiency. The levels of ~120 proteins were shown to reproducibly correlate with the presence or absence of PrP, with most of these proteins as belonging to extracellular components, cell junctions or the cytoskeleton.

Project description:Pyrethroids are one of the most commonly used classes of synthetic pesticides detected from all individuals in every part of the world; however, the mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity of pyrethroids were still remain unclear. To understand neurotoxic mechanisms of DM, we investigated transcriptome changes by exposure to a pyrethroid pesticide deltamethrin (DM) in the mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2a cell.
Project description:Desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) is one of the desmosomal cadherins. Recent studies have reported that Dsg3 is abnormally expressed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and associated with tumor growth and poor survival. A role of Dsg3 in the progression of OSCC remains controversial, since both positive and negative effect on the cancer progression have been reported. Previously we have demonstrated that OSCC cells from the metastatic lymph nodes showed significantly higher DSG3 expression compared to those from the primary tumor of the same patients. Here we investigated the effect of Dsg3 expression on the growth of OSCC between anchorage-dependent (AD) and -independent (AID) conditions. Cell lines established from the primary tumor (P) and metastatic lymph nodes (LY) of three OSCC patients and two commercial OSCC cell lines were used for the experiments. Under AD conditions, Dsg3-low cell lines (Dsg3-low) had higher cell proliferation and migration ability than Dsg3-high cell lines (Dsg3-high) of the same patients. After transferred into AID conditions, all the cell lines except Dsg3-negative 7P showed increased Dsg3 expression by up to 50-fold, compared with AD conditions. Under AID conditions, all the patients showed higher cell proliferation ability in the Dsg3-high compared with Dsg3-low, which was marked contrast to AD conditions. Dsg3 knockdown under AD conditions increased the cell proliferation rate of all the cell lines except Dsg3-negative line. On the other hand, cell growth was not affected under AID conditions. These results suggested that Dsg3 may have two opposite effects on the growth of OSCC cells between AD and AID conditions, and that the involvement of molecules other than Dsg3 may also be important. Therefore, we investigated DEGs by Dsg3 knockdown under AD and AID conditions and their functions.
