Project description:Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) based glioma mouse model, which homozygously lacks Tp53 and Nf1, spontaneously developed gliomas at the post-natal 90-120 days. Tp53 and Nf1 are among the most frequently mutated genes in human glioma patients. Investigating the changes of histone modifications induced by inactivation of Tp53 and Nf1 can be a clue to clarify the mechanism of gliomagenesis. We examined the histone modifications of glioma in MADM mouse at post-natal 150 days (n=3) and post-natal 8 days (n=1) and NSC, astrocyte derived from normal mice brain (both n=1) ). We used customized SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 2×400K array slides (G4858A, Agilent Technologies).

Tp53 and Nf1 are among the most frequently mutated genes in human glioma patients. Investigating the expression changes of genes induced by inactivation of Tp53 and Nf1 can be a clue to clarify the mechanism of gliomagenesis. We examined the expressions of glioma in MADM mouse at post-natal 150 days (n=3) and of normal brain in Tp53 and Nf1 wild type mouse at post-natal 150 days (n=2). We used SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8×60K array slides (G4858A, Agilent Technologies).
Project description:Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) based glioma mouse model, which homozygously lacks Tp53 and Nf1, spontaneously developed gliomas at the post-natal 90-120 days. Tp53 and Nf1 are among the most frequently mutated genes in human glioma patients. Investigating the expression changes of genes induced by inactivation of Tp53, Nf1 and EZH2 can be a clue to clarify the mechanism of gliomagenesis. We examined the expressions of glioma cells in MADM mouse (n=2), EZH2 knocked-out MADM glioma tissues (n=3) and neural stem cell (NSC), astrocyte established with normal mice brains (n=2, respectively) and TP53 knocked-out astrocytes, derived from TP53 knocked-out mice (n=2). We used SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8×60K array slides (G4858A, Agilent Technologies).
Project description:The individualized treatment of tumors has always been an urgent problem in clinical practice. Organoids-on-a-chip can reflect the heterogeneity of tumors and is a good model for in vitro anticancer drug screening. In this study, surgical specimens of patients with advanced colorectal cancer will be collected for organoid culture and organoids-on-a- chip. Use organoids-on-a-chip to screen tumor chemotherapy drugs, compare the results of patients’ actual medication regimens, and study the guiding role of organoids in the formulation of precise tumor treatment plans. The investigators will compare the response of organoids to drugs in vitro with the patient’s response to actual chemotherapy and targeted drugs and explore the feasibility and accuracy of organoids-on-a-chip based drug screening for advanced colorectal cancer. The project will establish a screening platform for chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted drugs based on colorectal cancer organoids to quickly and accurately formulate personalized treatment plans for clinical patients.
Project description:H3.3G34R-mutant gliomas are lethal tumors of the cerebral hemispheres, with unknown mechanisms of topographic specificity and tumorigenicity. We developed a human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-based model of H3.3G34R-mutant glioma that recapitulates the anatomical and genetic characteristics of the patient tumors.
