Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Caco2 and SW480 CRC cells transfected with AURKA siRNA or a control (non-targeted) siRNA. Caco2 and SW480 both have a gain of chromosomal arm 20q, where the AURKA gene is located. The goal was to determine the effects of AURKA knock-down on global gene expression.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of HCT116 cells compared to untreated control with HCT116 cells transfected with ZNF746 siRNA plasmid. Goal was to determine the effects of ZNF746 gene transfection on CRC progression. Two-condition experiment, HCT116 vs. ZNF746 siRNA.
Project description:Ires-GFP and CITED4-ires-GFP overexpressing permanent cell lines were generated by transfection of the CRC cell line SW480 with either the ires-GFP containing vector vector (in pCDNA4HISMAX) or the CITED4-ires GFP in (pCDNA4HISMAX) and selected with 2 ug/ ml puromycin in order to prepare permanent cell lines. For microarray analysis, the two cell lines were plated at a density of 1 x 10E5 cell in 12 well plates in 1 ml RPMI plus 10% FCS and penicillin/ streptomycin. The respective cell lines were harvested at day 1, 3 and 5 for RNA preparation and microarray analysis using Agilent human 4 x 44k expression microarrays. Every time point (cy3 labeled) was hybridzed together with Stratagene Human Total RNA standard as a control (cy5). Comparisons were made between the CITED4 overexpressing permanent cell line and ires-GFP containing cell line.
Project description:In order to identify gene expression changes associated with the deregulated of IGF2, Doxycylin inducible empty vector and IGF2 shRNA permanent cell lines were generated by lentivral transduction in the colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line SW480 and selected with puromycin. For microarray analysis, both cell lines were plated at 3 x 105 cells in 6 well plates using RPMI plus 10% FCS and penicillin/ streptomycin, either without/ with 50 ng/ ml doxycycline at the time of plating. The respective cell lines were harvested at day 1, 3, and 5. Three experiments were performed for each time point and condition and were separately analyzed. The samples were analyzed on Illumina human HT-12 v 4 expression bead chips. The microarray data was processed and normalized using the lumi pipline.
Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process in development and disease. If aberrantly activated it is a trigger for tumour progression and metastasis (Thiery et al, 2009). It is now known that EMT activation is also associated with the maintenance of stem-cell properties (Mani et al, 2008). Since Zinc-finger enhancer binding transcription factor 1 (ZEB1) is a crucial EMT activator, we analyzed the changes in the gene expression profile that accompany siRNA mediated loss of ZEB1 in SW480 colorectal cancer cells. SW480 is a cell line that exhibits mesenchymal characteristics, but reverts to an epithelial phenotype upon ZEB1 knock down (Spaderna et al. 2006 Gastroenterology). SW480 cells were transfected with control (GFP) or ZEB1 siRNA. 72 hours after transfection, cells were harvested, total RNA was isolated and hybridized.
Project description:Empty vector, control shRNA and CITED4 shRNA permanent cell lines were generated by lentiviral transduction of the CRC cell line SW480 with either the empty vector (plko1), a control shRNA containing vector or a CITED4 shRNA containing vector and selected with puromycin in order to prepare permanent cell lines. For microarray analysis, the three cell lines were plated at a density of 1 x 10E5 cell in 12 well plates in 1 ml RPMI plus 10% FCS and penicillin/ streptomycin. The respective cell lines were harvested at day 1, 3 and 5 for RNA preparation and microarray analysis using Agilent human 4 x 44k expression microarrays. Every time point (cy3 labeled) was hybridzed together with Stratagene Human Total RNA standard as a control (cy5). Comparisons were made between the CITED4 shRNA permanent cell line and either the control shRNA or empty vector cell line.
Project description:Purpose: AURKA plays an important role in breast cancer development. Exploring the gene expression profiles regulated by AURKA will facilitate to understand the mechanism which is responsible for AURKA induced breast cancer development. Results: We found that 350 genes were significantly up-regulated during AURKA overexpression in MCF-10A cells, 346 genes were significantly down-regulated during AURKA overexpression in MCF-10A cells. Conclusions: Our study indicated that 696 differentially expressed genes might contribute to AURKA induced breast cancer development. MCF-10A cells overexpressed AURKA or the empty vector were subjected to RNA extraction. The resulted RNA samples were performed RNA-sequencing analyses of gene expression profiles.
