Project description:The biological significance of the down-regulation of miR-376c in HuCCT1 cells is unknown. We revealed that miR-376c significantly reduced EGF-dependent cell migration through its target GRB2 in HuCCT1 cells. To elucidate key molecules in EGF-dependent HuCCT1 migration, in which GRB2 upregulation is caused by abnormal suppression of miR-376c, we compared expression profiles of mRNAs affected by pre-miR-376c and siRNA targeting GRB2. We compared expression profiles of mRNAs affected by pre-miR-376c and siRNA targeting GRB2 in EGF-treated HuCCT1 cells.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) is a malignancy arising from either the intrahepatic or the extrahepatic bile ducts which carries a severe prognosis. HMGA1 is a transcription factor which has a high expression level in many types of cancer. In this study, we find HMGA1 overexpression in CHOL. In order to investigate the regulatory mechanism of HMGA1 in CHOL, we performed RNA-seq in HUCCT1 cells with HMGA1 knock down compared with control in three repeat.
Project description:We examined the relationship between miRNA expression and the sensitivity of CCA cells to Gem. Two intrahepatic CCA cell lines, HuH28 and HuCCT1 were used. HuCCT1 cells were more sensitive to Gem than were HuH28 cells. The miRNA expression profiles of HuH28 and HuCCT1 were determined by microarray analysis. Eighteen miRNAs were differentially expressed whose ratios over ± 2log2 between HuH28 and HuCCT1. Among these 18 miRNAs, ectopic overexpression of each of three downregulated miRNAs in HuH28 (miR-29b, miR-205, miR-221) restored Gem sensitivity to HuH28. Suppression of one upregulated miRNA in HuH28, miR-125a-5p, inhibited HuH28 cell proliferation independently to Gem treatment.

Cell lines and cultures Two human intrahepatic CCA cell lines, HuCCT1 and HuH28, were purchased from Japan Health Science Research Resources Bank (Osaka, Japan). Each cell line was cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Invitrogen, Life Technologies Corp., CA, USA) that contained 10% fetal bovine serum (Nichirei Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan) and in humidified conditions at 37 ˚C and 5% CO2. Antibiotics were not added to the culture medium when cells were prepared for transfection with miRNA mimics or oligonucleotides. Gem treatment Gem hydrochloride was purchased from Wako (Osaka, Japan). A stock solution was prepared at 1 mmol/L (1 x 10-3 M) and was further diluted to anyone of several different final working concentrations from 1 x 10-4 to 1 x 10-7 M with cell culture medium that lacked antibiotics. Transfection of miRNA mimics, antisense oligonucleotides, or siRNA for miRNA target genes were performed 24 hr before the Gem treatment. All assays were conducted 72 hr after Gem treatment.
Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate mechanisms driving tumor-promoting mechanisms in cholangiocarcinoma while focusing on transitions from normal cholangiocytes to precancer lesions and from precancer lesion to invasive carcinoma. An original mouse model of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was developed, based on induction of a KrasG12D mutation in cholangiocytes combined with chronic inflammation. RNA-Seq analyses compare the transcriptome of ductular proliferations, intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. A gene cascade involving EGF, KrasG12D, Sox17 and Tns4 was identified to promote tumor progression.
Project description:The aim of the study was to characterize the transcriptional profile of cholangiocarcinoma cell line HuCCT1 after transfection with a plasmid encodind the long isoform of CASC15 (Gene ID: 401237 ; RNA sequence: NR_015410.1).
Project description:The YAP pathway in regulating organ size by integrating external signals to control the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation. YAP is known to be involved in tumorigenesis in several tissues, yet its role in cholangiocarcinoma is not established We used microarrays to assess the role of YAP pathway in cholangiocarcinoma either by overexpressing a constitutively active YAP1 mutant, or by downregulating YAP1 expression using shRNA HuCCT1 cells where transfected with either a control scrambled shRNA or a shRNA targeting YAP1; cells were harvested, RNA was collected and analyzed using microarray
