Project description:CD133 is a marker of cancer stem cells. DAP5 is a is a translation initiation factor. The goal of the experiment was to characterize the proteomic differences between CD133+/- cells in the WT vs DAP5 depleted background. To this aim, 4 populations of human cells were FACS sorted: shNT_CD133-, shNT CD133+, shDAP5_ CD133-, shDAP5_CD133+. The collected cell pellets were subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of GIF-5 mouse gastric epithelial cells comparing CD133-positive and CD133-negative cells. The former formed CD133-positive and CD133-negative cells while the latter only CD133-negative cells, suggesting that CD133-positive cells are mother cells. The former produced differentiated type tumors while the latter undifferentiated types in vivo, indicating a relationship between CD133-expression and glandular structure formation. One-condition experiment, CD133-positive vs. CD133-negative cells. 2 replicates.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of ALDH1 high cancer stem like cells of ovarian cancer cell line, sorted out using ALDEFLUOR assay. Two-condition experiment, ALDEFLUOR positive vs. negative cells. Biological replicates: 1 ALDEFLUOR positive replicate, 1 negative replicate.
Project description:CD133+ and CD133 negative cells from pancreatic cancer cell line KPC001 were sorted using MACS technique. RNA was isolated using trizol (Invitrogen) and cleaned up using Qiagen RNAeasy columns. The RNA passed QC by the Biomedical Genomic Center (BMGC) of University of Minnesota. cDNA was prepared and hybridized by BMGC according to standard protocol. The goal of the experiment was to see changes in the expression of genes in the CD133+ vs CD133- population in the pancreatic cancer cell line derived from KPC mouse model.
Project description:The main objective of the study is to identify the de-regulated miRNAs in association with HMGA2 (oncogene) in the Retinoblastoma tumorus. The present experiment was carried out using Y79 (Retinoblastoma cell line), as the invitro model of Retinoblastoma tumor. The HMGA2 transcripts were silenced using siRNA and the post-silenced RB cells (at the end of 48 hours) were subjected to miRNA profiling using agilent platform.The key miRNAs de-regulated in this experiment has been validated using qRT-PCR and further their role has been evaluated by addition of specific antagomirs in RB cell lines (Y79 and Weri Rb 1). Agilent one-color experiment,Organism: Homo sapiens ,Agilent Human miRNA 8x15k Arrays AMADID: 021827 [Agilent miRNA labeling reagent and Hybridization Kit Cat # 5190-0408] RB cells (Y79) treated with anti-HMGA2 siRNA or with control

Project description:To determine the downstream genes regulated by MYCN in RB, MYCN was silenced in Y79 cell line, which expressed hign levels of MYCN, using two lentiviral shRNA constructs targetting MYCN.

Project description:CD133 has been widely used for identification and isolation of cancer stem cells in tumors although its role as a marker for cancer stem cell is still controversial . We isolated the CD133+ and CD133- cells from SW620 human colon cancer cell line and compared their biological characteristics, such as tumorigenicity,drug sensitivity, etc. Our study revealed that CD133+ SW620 cells were more tumorigenic and resistant to anti-cancer drugs. Correspondingly, they displayed different gene expression profile. However, it was observed that CD133- cells and CD133+ cells could mutually convert, indicating that CD133 expression was under dynamic and reversible regulations which might impose significant infulence on cells behaviors. Thus, our data challenge the role of CD133 as a marker for cancer stem cell. There are two populations with distinct expression of CD133 in SW620 human colon cancer cell line. Microarray assays were employed to investigate the differentially expressed genes between the two populations, which may possess different tumorigenetic potential and sensitivity to anti-cancer drugs. CD133+ and CD133- cells were isolated from human colon cancer SW620 cell line by magnetic cell sorting system. The clones from sorted CD133+ or CD133- populations were established. Clone cells were expanded and were further purified by using CD133 cell isolation kit before microarray assays.
