Project description:Gene expression profiling of pancreatic cancer cell CFPAC-1 when BACH1 knockdown. BACH1 is a transcription repressor and its regulation networks is poorly understood in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We used the total RNA from shControl and shBACH1 CFPAC-1 cells to analyze the differentially expressed genes which were regulated by BACH1, and further explored the biological processes that BACH1 may involved.
Project description:We have run a shotgun proteomic analysis of cell lysates from pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC-1, PaCa-44, MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC-3) vs. normal epithelial ductal pancreatic cells (HPDE) in LC-MS/MS. No labelling was performed and digestion was done with Trypsin/Lys-C mix endoproteinase.
Project description:We have run shotgun and PRM proteomic analysis of cellular proteome and secretome from pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC-1, PaCa-44, MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC-3) vs. normal epithelial ductal pancreatic cells (HPDE) in LC-MS/MS. Stable isotopic labelling was performed and digestion was done with Trypsin/Lys-C mix endoproteinase.
Project description:The miRNA expression between normal and cancerous pancreatic tissues and identified preferentially expressed miRNAs. Two-condition experiment, pancreatic cancer vs. paired normal control. Biological replicates: 3 paired patients tissues.
Project description:We compared gene expression profiles in Panc-1, AsPC1 and MDA-Panc28 pancreatic cancer cell lines stably expressing shControl or shTAK1 by microarray analysis in order to identify groups of genes associated with a specific signaling pathway or biological process
Project description:Purpose: To study the expression and function of a novel cell cycle regulatory protein, human ecdysoneless (Ecd), during pancreatic cancer (PC) pathogenesis. Experimental Design: Immunohistochemical expression profiling of Ecd was done in non-neoplastic normal pancreatic tissues and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma lesions (from tissue microarray and Rapid Autopsy program) as well as precancerous PanIN lesions and metastatic organs. To analyze the biological significance of Ecd in PC progression, Ecd was stably knocked down in PC cell line followed by in vitro and in vivo functional assays. Results: Normal pancreatic ducts show very weak to no Ecd expression compared to significant positive expression in PC tissues (mean±SE composite score: 0.3±0.2 and 3.8±0.2 respectively, p<0.0001) as well as in PanIN precursor lesions with a progressive increase in Ecd expression with increasing dysplasia (PanIN-1 to PanIN-3). Analysis of matched primary tumors and metastases from PC patients revealed that Ecd is highly expressed in both primary pancreatic tumor and in distant metastatic sites. Further, knockdown of Ecd suppressed cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenicity of PC cells in mice orthotopic tumors. Microarray study revealed that Ecd regulates expression of glucose transporter GLUT4 in PC cells and was subsequently shown to modulate glucose uptake, lactate production and ATP generation by PC cells. Finally, knockdown of Ecd also reduced level of pAkt, key signaling molecule known to regulate aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells. Conclusion: Ecd is a novel tumor promoting factor that is differentially expressed in pancreatic cancer and potentially regulates glucose metabolism within cancer cells. Two-condition experiment, Ecd knockdown vs Scrambled cells. Biological replicates: 3 Ecd knockdownl, 3 Scrambled, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array
Project description:As in other tumor types, progression of pancreatic cancer may require a functionally unique population of cancer stem cells. Although such cells have been identified in many invasive cancers, is not clear whether they emerge during early or late stages of tumorigenesis. Using mouse models and human pancreatic cancer cell lines, we investigated whether pre-invasive pancreatic neoplasia contains a subpopulation of cells with distinct morphologies and cancer stem cell like properties. Whole transcriptome anlaysis of AcTub Hi vs AcTub Low cells. Cells were labeled with an acetylated alpha tubulin antibody that recognized epitopes on the cell surface (AAT+). AcTub Hi vs Low cells were FACS sorted from the human pancreatic cancer cell lines CFPAC and AsPC1
