Project description:Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) causes inflammation in the gut similar to ulcerative colitis in humans. Patients with ulcerative colitis have increased risk of developing colon cancer. We sought to determine whether genes altered in the normal colonic epithelium or tumor differed between sporadic and inflammation-associated tumor development.
Project description:Dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (Dusp6)-deficiency enhances baseline colon barrier integrity and confers amelioration of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colonic injury. DUSP6 is a phosphatase, and therefore it is plausible that DUSP6 knockout alters the phosphorylation status of other proteins. To access the protein phosphorylation landscape and functional network in DUSP6 deficient Caco-2 cells, we applied phosphopeptide enrichment and isobaric labeling strategies with MS-based proteomics, and identified 1323 phosphorylation sites on 580 phosphoproteins.
Project description:Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) causes inflammation in the gut similar to ulcerative colitis in humans. Patients with ulcerative colitis have increased risk of developing colon cancer. We sought to determine whether genes altered in the normal colonic epithelium or tumor differed between sporadic and inflammation-associated tumor development. 97 day old (ACIxF344)F1-Pirc male rats either untreated or given 4% DSS in the drinking water from 40-47 and 54-61 days of age, housed in 12 hour light:12 dark, ad lib feeding and drinking conditions. Normal colonic tissue and tumors were harvested from the distal colon at 97 days of age. A two color, reference design experiment hybridized according to Agilent protocols against a reference pool of RNA made up from colon tissue taken from pooled wild type rats which was labeled with Cy5.
Project description:Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) causes inflammation in the gut similar to ulcerative colitis in humans. Patients with ulcerative colitis have increased risk of developing colon cancer. We sought to determine which genes are altered in the normal colonic epithelium, and which changes depend on the Pirc mutation. 97 day old (ACIxF344)F1 wild type and Pirc male rats either untreated or given 4% DSS in the drinking water from 40-47 and 54-61 days of age, housed in 12 hour light:12 dark, ad lib feeding. Normal colonic tissue was collected from the distal colon at 97 days of age.
Project description:∆pep27 diminished Dextran Sulfate Sodium-induced inflammatory effect in colonic tissue suggesting that ∆pep27 immunization reduces GUT inflammation and regulates junction proteins. Analysis of global gene expression up-and downregulated in the colonic tissue and on the basis of that altered gene expression, molecular mechanism of ∆pep27 vaccine will be expressed.

Project description:Total RNA was isolated from 3 colonic tissues of each treatment group using the Qiagen RNeasy kit following the manufacturers' protocol. RNA samples with good quality control (RIN values>8) were sequenced using Hiseq-2500 by Novogene. Ursolic acid (UA), Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)."Con" group stands for normal group, "DSS" group stands for DSS induced group, "UA_DSS" group stands for UA Preventive DSS induced group, "DSS_UA" group stands for UA Treatment DSS induced group.
Project description:To unbiasedly characterize the spatial transcriptomics landscape of murine colorectal cancer initiation and progression, we performed a time-series spatial transcriptional analysis of total colonic tissue during the course of azoxymethane (AOM)-dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced colorectal cancer from mice receiving standard (chow) diet. Additionally, to understand the role of LXR activation during AOM-DSS tumorigenesis, we also collected colonic tissues from mice fed with GW3965 diet.
