Project description:During hematopoietic differentiation of hESCs, HOXA9 expression parallels hematopoietic development but is restricted to the hemogenic precursors (HEP, CD31+CD34+CD45-), and diminishes as HEPs differentiate into blood cells (CD45+). Enforced expression of Hoxa9 in hESCs robustly promoted differentiation into primitive (CD34+CD45+) and total (CD45+) blood cells with higher clonogenic (CFU) potential. To identify patterns of gene expression that could explain at the molecular level the developmental impact of HOXA9 in hematopoietic commitment of hESCs, we performed gene expression profile in FACS-purified EV- and HOXA9-HEPs. 10^5 HoxA9 over expressing and EV control HEPs purified by FACS from H9 and AND1 hEBs at day 15 of hematopoietic differentiation were used for gene expression analysis using Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray chips (Agilent Technologies).
Project description:Murine CD45.1+ CD117+ BM cells were co-transduced pairwise with retroviral vectors expressing Hoxa9, Meis1, Foxc1 or a control empty vector. Ninety-six hours later 10^6 drug resistant cells were transplanted into CD45.2+ irradiated congenic recipients. To investigate the consequences of FOXC1 expression on the transcriptome in murine AML, we performed exon array analysis using flow sorted CD117+Gr1+ leukemia cells recovered from sick mice (Hoxa9/control; Moxa9/Meis1; or Hoxa9/FOXC1 leukemias; 3 mice per cohort).
Project description:We have identified a specific site in the ERG protein that undergoes post-transcriptional modification. We have mutated this site and generated stably expressing LNCaP cell lines. In this study we evaluated the transcriptional profile induced by ERG in LNCaP stably expressing ERG wild type , ERG mutant or empty vector (EV).
Project description:In the human EGFR mutant adenocarcinoma cell line PC9 pBabe empty vector (EV) or BRAF V600E were overexpressed. RNA was extracted from EV, BRAF V600E overexpressing or osimertinib-resistant BRAF V600E expressing cells after 48h treatment with osimertinib, trametinib, a combination of both or vehicle controls. RNA was subjected to 3' UTR RNA sequencing.

Nine exon arrays total; 3 arrays for each cohort (Hoxa9/control; Moxa9/Meis1; or Hoxa9/FOXC1), each from a separate mouse.
Project description:To investigate the tumor suppressor roleof CYB5R3 in lung cancer, we infected with adenoviral empty vector (EV) or CYB5R3 in NCI-H1299 cells.
Project description:Neural stem/progenitor cells were isolated from the lateral ventricle wall of 4-6 week-old CD1 mice and grown as neurospheres under low density culture conditions. Test cells were transduced with bicistronic retroviral constructs for the over-expression of Bmi1 together with eGFP, and control cells were transduced with an empty vector construct expressing eGFP only. To identify genes, which are regulated by BMI1 in neural stem/progenitor cells, the gene expression profiles of neurosphere cells over-expressing Bmi1 were compared empty vector control cells using Affymetrix Gene mouse ST1.0 arrays
