Project description:G9a is an H3K9m2 methyltransferase, which is critical in controlling gene suppression and DNA methylation. We used microarray analysis to identify the target genes that are regulated by G9a in MDA-MB231 cells, in which E-cadherin is silenced. G9a expression was stably knocked-down in MDA-MB231 cells. RNA from this clone and parental (control) cells were purified for microarray analysis.
Project description:UGT8 is the first key enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide for the synthesis of galactosylceramide. We used microarray analysis to identify the genes that are regulated by UGT8 in MDA-MB231 cells.

Project description:Mfng, a modulator of Notch signaling, is highly expressed in human claudin-low breast cancer (CLBC). To determine Mfng’s roles in CLBC pathogenesis,we knocked down Mfng in a CLBC cell line MDA-MB231, and found that Mfng knockdown altered Notch activation, decreased tumor sphere formation in vitro, and reduced tumor growth in xenograft model. To identify the potential downstream targets of Mfng during CLBC tumorigenesis, we compared the gene expression profiles between xenografts tumor derived from of MDA-MB231 cells carrying Mfng shRNA and the control vector. Mfng, a modulator of Notch signaling, is highly expressed in human claudin-low breast cancer (CLBC). To determine Mfng’s roles in CLBC pathogenesis,we knocked down Mfng in a CLBC cell line MDA-MB231, and found that Mfng knockdown caused alteration in Notch activation, associated with decreased tumor sphere formation in vitro, as well as reduced tumor growth in xenograft model. We intend to compare gene expression profiles between xenografts of MDA-MB231 cells carrying Mfng shRNA and the control vector. This project seeks to identify potential downstream targets of Mfng in CLBC.

This project seeks to identify potential downstream targets of Mfng in CLBC. MDA-MB231 cells were transfected with shRNA against MFNG. Stable cell clones with knockdown of MFNG or corresponding control were selected and injected orthotopically into SCID mice. Total RNA was then extracted from the xenograph tumors for microarray analysis.
Project description:MDA-MB231 cells were transfected with control vector, RAI2-overexpression vector, or vector with RAI2-4A, which has a mutated interaction domain w.r.t. CtBP/CtBP2

Project description:To define and compare the interactomes of the RNA binding protein HNRNPC in poorly vs. efficiently metastatic breast adenocarcinoma cells, we carried out immunoprecipitation of endogenous HNRNPC from parental MDA-MB231 cells vs. its highly metastatic isogenic derivate, the MDA-MB231-LM2 cells. We used a non-specific MOUSE IgG IP from each line as control. Each IP was performed in triplicate, and analysed by LC-MS/MS, on a Thermo Q-Exactive-plus instrument.
