Project description:Tumor associated mutant p53 proteins often gain new functions for tumorigenesis and tumor progression. It has been shown that mutant p53 can transcriptionally regulate a group of genes, which in turn contributes to mutant p53 gain of function. A mutant p53 interacting protein Pontin binds to mutant p53 and promotes its gain of function. This experiment tests whether the interaction of Pontin with mutant p53 regulates the transcriptional activity of mutant p53. We used a breast cancer cell line containing endogenous mutant p53 (SK-BR-3) with or without knockdown of mutant p53 by shRNA to identify genes regulated by mutant p53. We then knocked down endogenous Pontin in SK-BR-3 cells, and compared the transcriptional levels of these genes in cells with and without mutant p53 knockdown to investigate the effect of Pontin on mutant p53-dependent transcriptional regulation.

Project description:Analysis of differentially expressed genes in response to the LXR agonist GW3965 in the MCF-7, T-47D, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. It was previously reported that GW3965 has antiproliferative effects on these 4 different breast cancer cell lines. In the present study, we additionally determine the effects of the LXR ligand on breast cancer cells and determine their mechanism of action in reducing cell proliferation. Total RNA obtained from 4 different breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, T-47D, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231) grown in culture treated with ethanol (control) or GW3965 (GW-treated, experimental) for 48 hours. Triplicates were performed.
Project description:Dual inhibitors of HER2 and EGFR, such as lapatinib, have shown significant efficacy for the therapy of HER2-positive breast cancer. Previous experiments showed that in cell cultures, the efficacy of lapatinib was significantly reduced by exposure to human serum and human epidermal growth factor (EGF). At the proteomic and transcriptomic levels, we examined the changes in the HER2-positive breast cancer cell line SK-BR-3 profiles upon treatment with lapatinib, either alone or in combination with human serum or EGF. Proteomic profiling revealed 350 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in response to lapatinib treatment at concentrations that induced cell growth arrest. Addition of human serum or EGF in combination with lapatinib prevented cell growth inhibition, and this combination treatment returned the expression of ~93% of DEPs to drug-free levels for both human serum and EGF. Gene ontology enrichment and OncoboxPD pathway activation level analysis showed that lapatinib addition influenced mostly common functional processes revealed in RNA- and protein-based assays. However, a specific feature was observed at the proteome level: addition of lapatinib increased the expression of proteins associated with mitochondrial function and cellular respiration. This feature was not observed when using RNA sequencing data for the same experiments. However, it is consistent with the results of the resazurin test, which showed a 1.8-fold increase in SK-BR-3 cellular respiration upon exposure to lapatinib. Thus, we conclude that enhanced cellular respiration is a novel additional mechanism of action of lapatinib on HER2-positive cancer cells.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the human breast cancer cells and primary breast cancer-associated fibroblasts exposed to compressive stress. Four subtypes of breast cancer cells (BT-474, MCF7, SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231) and four cases of primary breast cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF1, CAF2, CAF3, and CAF4) were exposed to a static compressive stress for 24 h.

Project description:Mutant p53 can acquires oncogenic properties supporting tumor growth, metastases and chemoresistance, by reprogramming cancer cell transcriptome, proteome and metabolome. To investigate what is the gene expression network regulated by mutant p53, we silenced its expression in MDA-MB-231 Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cell line. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of MDA-MB 231.
Project description:Mutant p53 can acquires oncogenic properties supporting tumor growth, metastases and chemoresistance, by reprogramming cancer cell transcriptome, proteome and metabolome. To investigate what is the gene expression network regulated by mutant p53 in condition of limited amino acids availability, we silenced mutant p53 expression in MDA-MB-231 Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cell line, grown in medium with 100% and medium with 25% of amino acids. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of MDA-MB 231.
Project description:The SV-BR-1 cell line was derived from a chest wall lesion of a breast cancer patient. SV-BR-1 cells were stably transfected with CSF2 (encoding GM-CSF), resulting in the SV-BR-1-GM cell line. Following irradiation to prevent cell replication, both SV-BR-1 (Wiseman and Kharazi, The Open Breast Cancer Journal, 2010, 2, 4-11) and SV-BR-1-GM (Wiseman and Kharazi, Breast J. 2006 Sep-Oct;12(5):475-80) cells have been applied as whole-cell therapeutics in clinical trial settings for advanced breast cancer. Molecular profiles of non-irradiated SV-BR-1-GM cells have been established from various manufacturing lots via Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip arrays (GPL10558). A key finding from the study is the identification of an immune signature expressed in SV-BR-1-GM cells which includes the MHC class II factors HLA-DMA, HLA-DMB, HLA-DRA, and HLA-DRB3. Since tumor regressions were apparent in clinical trial subjects matching at an HLA-DRB3 allele with SV-BR-1-GM we hypothesize that (partial) HLA matching is needed for maximal tumor-directed clinical responses to occur.
