Project description:FGFR2b signalling interacts with ßcatenin signalling to regulate early branching morphogenesis. Earlier, we identified a set of genes regulated in the epithelium of the developing lung by the global inhibition of FGFR2b signalling after 6 and 9 hours, in vivo. In this experiment, we used a pharmacological inhibitor of ßcatenin signalling, IQ1, to block ßcatenin signalling in isolated E12.5 wildtype lungs for 9 and 24 hrs, in vitro. We intend to assess the overlap between genes regulated in our in vivo experiment with those regulated in our in vitro, IQ1 experiment. In so doing, we hope to identify genes regulated by the FGFR2b/ßcatenin signalling pathway. Samples were obtained by isolating E12.5 lungs from C57bl/6J mice. Isolated lungs were then cultured on filters with culture medium supplied with 10 uM IQ1 (experimental) or vehicle (control), for 9 and 24 hrs. After these times, the experiments were stopped, and samples were prepared for RNA isolation.

Project description:In this experiment we inhibited FGF signalling in E16.5 mouse lungs by using a dominant negative mouse model. We are interested in assessing the genetic regulation by FGF signalling at this stage of lung development. Specifically, we used a tetracycline controlled transcriptional activation model (Tet(o)) to manipulate FGF signalling. Genetically modified male mice that expressed a reverse tetracycline-controlled trans activator (rtTA) on the Rosa26 locus and a soluble FGFR2b on the Tet(o) promoter (Tet(o)sFgfr2b) (B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1.1(rtTA,EGFP)NagyTg(tetO-Fgfr2b/Igh)1.3Jaw/sbel), were crossed with females lacking the Tet(o)sFgfr2b allele. Pregnant females were injected with doxycycline intraperitonally at E16.5. Doxycycline then induced the transcription soluble FGFR2b in the embryos, which inhibited FGF signalling by sequestering FGF ligands, preventing them from binding to the native FGFR2b receptor. We harvested embryonic lungs after 9 hrs of inhibition. We took the left lobe of each sample for RNA isolation. We set-up our matings so that 50% of the embryos in a litter were expected to contain the soluble FGFR2b. The remaining littermates will serve as the control group. We will compare the gene expression profiles of the experimental embryonic lungs with those of littermate controls.

Project description:We are interested in studying the role of FGF/FGFR2b signalling on lung alveolar epithelial bipotent progenitors. Bipotent progenitors give rise to alveolar type 1 and type 2 cells (AECI and AECII, respectively). Previous research has shown that AECII cells isolated from lungs where FGF signalling has been globally inhibited show a gene signature much closer to type 1 cells. Furthermore, the relative number of AECI in experimental lungs was increased compared to control lungs. This suggests FGF signalling promotes AECII differentiation. We want to test the hypothesis that FGF signalling promotes the differentiation of AECII by signalling to bipotent progenitors. To test this hypothesis, we have used a transgenic mouse line (SpcCreERT2_Fgfr2bflox_tomatoflox), which, upon administration of tamoxifen, can be used to knock-out the FGFR2b receptor in SFTPC + cells, while labelling those cells red. We injected mice carrying embryos with and without the Fgfr2bflox allele (experimental and control, respectively) at E14.5 and at E15.5. At this timepoint, SFTPC is a marker for bipotent progenitors. Thus, by administering tamoxifen at this timepoint, bipotent progenitors were targeted to knock-out FGFR2b, and thus inhibit FGF/FGFR2b signalling to these cells. We harvested lungs at E18.5, a timepoint where the differentiation of AECI and AECII is well underway. Harvested lungs were prepared for FACS-based cell sorting. Cells were sorted by gating for total epithelial cells, then RFP + cells (representing bipotent progenitors), then AECI and AECII cells. These cells were collected, and their total RNA isolated for gene array analysis. We will then compare the AECI and AECII gene signatures of isolated cells between experimental and control samples.

Project description:This randomized phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 when given together with vismodegib and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vismodegib together with gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may be an effective treatment for sarcoma.
