Project description:Liver invasion and metastasis often occur in gallbladder cancer (GBC). We established a liver metastasis mouse model using NOZ cells for two round intrasplenic injection. We acquired a highly metastatic subclone of NOZ cells, we named it LiM2-NOZ(second-round liver metastasis NOZ) cells. Then we characterized the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs that differentially expressed in NOZ and LiM2-NOZ cells.
Project description:Gallbladder cancer is a rare but highly malignant cancer. We performed the transcriptional profile sequencing to figure out the potential mechanisms, which might significantly affect gallbladder cancer progression.
Project description:We carried out an iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis of gallbladder cancer and adjacent non-tumor tissue to systematically identify differentially expressed proteins in gallbladder cancer. Ten gallbladder adenocarcinoma and ten adjacent non-tumor tissue samples were selected post pathological confirmation for the study. Samples were pooled and In-solution trypsin digestion was carried out. Post digestion, peptides were iTRAQ labeled with 114 and 115 (gallbladder adenocarcinoma) and 116 and 117 (adjacent non-tumor samples). LC-MS/MS analysis of SCX fractions was carried out using a reversed phase analytical C18 column connected to 1200 Series Nanoflow LC interfaced with LTQ-Orbitrap Velos. Data were acquired using Xcalibur 2.1. Proteome Discoverer (v 1.3) suite was used for quantitation and database searches. LC-MS/MS data were searched using Mascot and SEQUEST search algorithms against Human RefSeq 50 supplemented with frequently observed contaminants.
Project description:The goal was to identify genes that promote liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. Microarray analysis was performed to compare gene expression and altered biological pathways between a poorly metastatic CT26 cell line as compared to an isogenic highly metastatic CT26 FL3 cell line that was isolated by in vivo selection in an orthotopic mouse model of colon cancer metastasis to the liver. Gene expression in CT26-FL3 and parental CT26 cells were determined using the Agilent platform. Four independent samples each were analyzed.
Project description:Epigenome-wide methylation levels were measured in patients from Chiel with gallstone disease, gallbladder dyplasia or gallbladder cancer using Illumina Infinium methylation arrays.
Project description:To further understand the molecular mechanisms in the development of gallbladder cancer, we employed this microarray to identify lncRNAs associated with gallbladder cancer. 9 pairs of gallbladder cancer tissues and paired normal gallbladder tissues were collected after colecystectomy.

Project description:Although many protein-coding genes have been identified to be aberrantly expressed in gallbladder cancer, the mechanism that account for the development and progression of gallbladder cancer remains unclear. In recent years, long noncoding RNAs have been shown to play vital roles in mammalian cell biology. In this study, we found that a small number of lncRNAs that are aberrantly expressed. A ten chip study using total RNA recovered five separate gallbladder cancer tissues and five matched adjacent gallbladder normal tissues
Project description:Analysis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells depleted for High Mobility Group A1 (HMGA1) using siRNA. HMGA1 is involved in invasion and metastasis in breast cancer cells. Results identify the specific transcriptional program induced by HMGA1 in highly metastatic breast cancer cells.
Project description:We determined the global microRNA expression profiles of primary human gallbladder cells and genetically reprogrammed human gallbladder cells and compared with pancreatic beta cells to ascertain the degree of cellular transdifferentatiation of insulin-producing human gallbladder cells to become beta-like cells. First, we cultured patient-derived gallbladder cells and then we transduced these with beta cell transcription factors to reprogram gallbladder cells to become beta-like cells. We used a pan-islet surface monoclonal antibody to enrich for insulin-producing reprogrammed human gallbladder cells using FACS.
