ABSTRACT: Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in murine breast fibroblasts from normal tissue, hyperplasia, adenoma and carcinoma (MMTV-PyMT model)
Project description:Analysis of differences at gene expression level of hpvE6 immortalized fibroblasts isolated from normal mammary glands and from hyperplasia, adenoma and carcinoma stages using the MMTV-PyMT model (FVB/N background). Analysis demonstrated the activation of specific transcriptional programs in fibroblasts from later stages. Total RNA obtained from isolated hpvE6 immortalized fibroblasts from normal mammary gland (NF) and from different stages of tumour development using the MMTV-PyMT murine breast cancer model. Stages were hyperplasia (HpAF), adenoma (AdAF) and carcinoma (CAF). Fibroblasts were seeded in a deformable Matrigel:collagen I matrix and total RNA isolated 72h later.

Project description:We sequenced mammary gland samples of MMTV-PyMT mouse from 4 stages (hyperplasia at week 6, adenoma/MIN at week 8, early carcinoma at week 10, and late carcinoma with lung metastasis at week 12) during tumor progression.

Project description:We sequenced mammary gland samples of MMTV-PyMT mouse from 4 stages (hyperplasia at week 6, adenoma/MIN at week 8, early carcinoma at week 10, and late carcinoma with lung metastasis at week 12) during tumor progression. We sacrificed 3 PyMT (FVB background) mice and 3 FVB control mice at each of the 4 stages, extracted small RNA and performed sequencing.
Project description:The primary cause of mortality in breast cancer is metastasis, a process which is still poorly understood. To study the process of breast cancer metastasis, we isolated focal hyperplasias from the MMTV-PyMT transgenic breast cancer model and transplanted to syngeneic hosts. The transplants underwent stereotyped progression to adenoma, early carcinoma, and late carcinoma at 5, 8 and 18 weeks post-transplant, respectively. We compared the gene expression profiles of adenomas and late carcinomas by microarray. Analysis of the data revealed that the most differentially expressed gene family between adenomas and late carcinomas were luminal differentiation genes, among them GATA-3. In this report, we characterized the role of GATA-3 in breast cancer. Keywords: spotted oligonucleotide Single hyperplasias were isolated from pubertal MMTV-PyMT x B-actin-GFP mice and transplanted into syngeneic hosts. Total RNA from adenomas (5 week outgrowths) were compared to late carcinomas (18 week outgrowths).
Project description:Immortalized (hpv-E6) murine fibroblasts isolated from normal mammary glands and carcinoma stages (CAFs) from the MMTV-PyMT model (FVB/N background) were used in this analysis. CAFs were transfected with two independent RNAi targeting Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) or control RNAi and changes in whole-genome gene expression were evaluated by microarray. In addition, the effect of stable ectopic expression of DKK3 in normal fibroblasts (which normally do not express DKK3) was also evaluated. Analysis demonstrated the role of DKK3 in controlling specific transcriptional programs in CAFs.
Project description:Breast carcinoma cell invasion is thought to depend on the mobilization of the membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase, Mmp14/MT1-MMP, to drive the remodeling of extracellular matrix and trigger associated signaling cascades. However, the roles that this proteinase plays during breast tumor progression and invasion in vivo remain undefined. A highly penetrant syngeneic mouse model for luminal B breast cancer driven by the polyoma middle T (PyMT) antigen, in tandem with recently developed Mmp14-floxed mice and MMTV-Cre transgenics that express Cre recombinase throughout the mammary epithelial cell compartment, were used to characterize the impact of conditional Mmp14-targeting on breast carcinoma cell invasion programs in vivo. Transcriptome profiling of intact MMTV-PyMT carcinoma tumors was used to investigate the functional roles of carcinoma cell-derived MT1-MMP in MMTV-PyMT tumor progression and invasion in an unbiased fashion

Project description:In order to identify transciptomic changes of endothelial cells (Ecs) in response to STING activation, endothelial cells were soted using FACS and RNA-seq was performed. We compared ECs from 3 models; normal mammary fat pad, MMTV-PyMT spontaneous breast tumor, implanted breast tumor. Tumor cells derived from MMTV-PyMT spontaneous breast tumor were expanded on culture and implanted in mammary fat pad of female FVB mice to establish implanted breast tumor model.
