Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse HMLEN breast cancer cells (HMLE cells transformed with -Neu oncogene) stably tranduced with pLEX-MCS based lentivirus. Three groups were compared, Vector cells, SNAIL expressing cells; and SNAIL+FBXO11 expressing cells. SNAIL expression induced strong EMT phenotype while SNAIL/FBXO11 reversed cells back to epithelial cells.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells stably tranduced with pLEX-MCS based lentivirus. Three groups were compared, Vector cells, SNAIL expressing cells; and SNAIL+FBXO11 expressing cells. SNAIL expression induced strong EMT phenotype while SNAIL/FBXO11 reversed cells back to epithelial cells.
Project description:Analysis of four lung cancer cell lines transfected with a vector expressing the transcriptional repressor Snail versus a vector control. Aberrant Snail expression is known to induce an EMT program in lung cancers.
Project description:The main goal of the project was to analyze the effect of SNAIL transcription factor on microRNA expression profile in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells using the next generation sequencing. Differential expression of microRNAs between three groups was compared in RH30 alveolar RMS cells: WT (WT), shCTRL (modified with control shRNA vector) and shSNAIL (modified with shRNA against SNAIL). Different groups were compared to investigate the effect of SNAIL silencing on microRNA up- or downregulation.
Project description:Snail is a zinc-finger transcription factor best known for its ability to down-regulate E-cadherin. Its established significance in embryology and organogenesis has been expanded to include a role in the tumor progression of a number of human cancers. In addition to E-cadherin, it has more recently been associated with the down-regulation and up-regulation of a number of other genes that affect important malignant phenotypes. After establishing the presence of up-regulated Snail in human non-small cell lung cancer specimens, we used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines stably transduced to over-express Snail as compared to vector control cell lines. Non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (H441, H292, H1437) were stably transduced with a retroviral vector to over-express Snail. Elevated Snail and a corresponding down-regulation of E-cadherin was verified in the Snail over-expressing cell lines as compared to vector control cell lines by Western analysis. RNA extraction was performed and samples submitted to the UCLA Clinical Microarray Core for hybridization to Affymetrix arrays.
Project description:The transcription factor Snail is known as an EMT regulator to promote cancer metastasis. Identification Snail-regulated miRNAs helps to uncover mechanisms governing CRC metastasis The stable SW480-vector and Snail-expressing cells were established for miRNA microarray analysis.
