Project description:Identify candidate different expression genes in HT-29 cells after incubation with Bifidobacterium bifidum ATCC 29521. The results of microarray provide importment information for different genes expression in HT-29 cell after incubation withBifidobacterium bifidum ATCC 29521, up or down-regulated.
Project description:Purpose: Identify genes regulated by GPR126 in colon cancer cells by RNA-seq analysis Methods: Use shRNAs to knock down GPR126 in HT-29 cells, total RNAs from scramble group (NC) and GPR126 knockdown group (Sh1) were subjected to RNA-sequencing. Results: Around 700 transcriptomes were up-regulated in GPR126 knockdown HT-29 cells, and 14000 transcriptomes were down-regulated in GPR126 knockdown HT-29 cells.GPR126 mainly regualtes genes from DNA synthesis and cell cycle-related pathways. Conclusions: Our study firstly showed the function of GPR126 regulating colon cancer cell proliferation by targeting genes invovled in DNA synthesis and cell cycle-related pathways.
Project description:To establish the role of Slug in CRC, we created a genetic CRC model for Slug expression. As parental cells, we selected HT-29 cells that display a pronounced epithelial phe-notype. HT-29 cells were transfected with Slug, and two stable Slug-expressing clones. (Slug1, Slug2) were isolated. As transfection control, we used HT-29 cells transfected with empty vector (control). To characterize the influence of Slug on gene ex-pression, transcriptome analysis was performed for the four HT-29 cell lines as well as for the corresponding tumor xenografts. Global expression profiling showed that Slug-overexpressing cells and tumors were clustered together while the parental and control cells and tumors formed a separate cluster. Next, a two-step analysis was carried out. First, a subtractive analysis was carried out comparing the gene profiles of Slug-expressing cells and tumors with the corresponding parental/control samples. Genes were considered to be significantly upregulated by Slug if the fold change (FC) was greater than +2 and downregulated if the fold change was less than −2 with p-values (false dis-covery rates) less than 0.01
