Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows the high mortality and morbidity. The mortal number of patients and the morbid number of patients with CRC is also increasing. However, the genes which relate to promote tumorigenesis in CRC remain unclear. In order to investigate specific genes and pathways involved in CRC tumorigenesis, we compared genes expressed between three dimensional cultures and control two-dimensional cultures. Total RNA was prepared from the CRC cell lines under the condition of two-dimensional culture and three dimensional culture.
Project description:Gene expression profile of two reporgrammed cell lines iPSC CRL1831 (induced pluripotent stem cells) and CSC DLD1 (cancer stem-like cells) derived from normal colon CRL1831 and colorectal cancer DLD-1 cells, after transfer to 3D cell culture conditions and cell lines treated with single or fractionated ionizing radiation doses under 3D cell culture conditions. There are no data that cancer metastases arise due to specific mutations of cancer cells. Therefore ongoing investigation of reprogrammed cancer cells grown in three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models might provide researchers with essential data studying tumor oncogenesis and metastases formation. 3D culture models were shown to mimic in vivo cell microenvironment more accurately than the standard two-dimensional cell monolayer (2D) cultures. Also, growing evidence suggests that 2D and 3D cultured cells gene expression pattern variance following irradiation is highly dependent on cancer cell state and their interaction with microenvironment.
Project description:ATAC-seq samples from 2 species and 2 cell types were generated to study cis-regulatory element evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPS-cells (Homo sapiens) of 2 human individuals and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque iPSCs (Macaca fascicularis) of 2 individuals (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). The NPC lines were cultured in NPC proliferation medium and passaged 2 - 4 times until they were dissociated and subjected to ATAC-seq together with the respective iPSC clones. ATAC-seq libraries were generated using the Omni-ATAC protocol (Corces et al. 2017) with minor modifications.
Project description:RNA-seq samples from 3 species across a differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells to neural progenitor cells were generated to study gene expression evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPSCs of 3 human (Homo sapiens) individuals (3 clones), 1 gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) individual and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) iPSCs of 2 individuals (4 clones) (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). Bulk RNA-seq libraries of iPSCs and NPCs were generated using prime-seq protocol (Janjic et al. 2022).
Project description:iHep cells maintained in two-dimensional (2D) culture can become functionally close to hepatocytes by forming cell aggregates under three-dimensional (3D) culture condition.
Project description:Gene expression analysis of MCF7 breast cancer cells cultured as xenografts, in two dimensional cultures, in polyHEMA anchorage independent three dimansional cell culture models and in Matrigel three dimensional cultures.
Project description:Tumor cell response to irradiation also depends on their microenvironment. Therefore ongoing investigation of three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models provide researchers with essential data studying and remodeling radiotherapeutic implications in cancer treatment. 3D culture models were shown to mimic in vivo cell microenvironment more accurately than the standard two-dimensional cell monolayer (2D) cultures. Growing evidence suggests that 2D and 3D cultured cell gene expression pattern discrepancies following irradiation is highly dependent on cell-ECM interactions. It has been shown that laminin-rich-extracellular matrix (lr-ECM) used in 3D cultures not only alters cancer cell phenotype and response to external stimuli but also affects their differentiation, migration and survivability. Thus, a change in these fundamental cell properties demands us to reconsider data previously collected using 2D in vitro models. RNA was harvested from two colorectal cancer cell lines cultivated under 3D cell culture conditions, 4h after treatment of single (2 Gy or 10 Gy) or fractionated (5x2 Gy) ionizing radiation dose.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
