Project description:KRAS is an important oncogene in cancer. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been characterized to be involved in various types of cancer. In this study, we investigated the functions of KRAS-responsive lncRNAs in cancer. We perfomed the RNA-seq to examine the lncRNA expression after overexpession of KRAS WT and G12D in H1299 cells.
Project description:To assess the transcriptional profile within tumours AhcreERTR26flEYFP/wt LSL Kras+/G12D animals were treated with diethylnitrosamine for 8 weeks prior to induction of the Kras allele with a single dose of β-naphthoflavone (20 mg/kg) and tamoxifen (0.25 mg). Subsequently, animals were treated with Sorafenib for 6 weeks. Gene expression array analysis was performed on 12 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) from 4 animals.

Project description:Activation of endogenously expressed KRas[G12D] in the pancreas of mice gives rise primarily to early stage PanIN lesions, however such lesions can occasionally progress to end-stage ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Progression of KRas[G12D]- initiated lesions to PDAC is accelerated by modest expression of MYC from the Rosa26 locus. Deletion of 1 copy of endogenous c-Myc or both copies of endogenous Zbtb17 (aka Miz1), slows progression to PDAC and extends healthful survival of Pdx1-Cre;lsl-KRas[G12D];Rosa26-lsl-MYC[DM] (KMC) mice. Tumours were removed from mice with all 4 genotypes and validated by histological examination prior to RNA-SEQ analysis.
Project description:Breast Cancer (BC) has been associated with alterations in signaling through a number of growth factor and hormone regulated pathways. Mouse models for metastatic BC have been developed using oncoproteins that activate PI3K, Stat3 and Ras signaling. To determine the role of each pathway, we analyzed mouse mammary tumor formation when they were activated singly or pairwise. We used microarrays to detect differentially expressed genes in the KRas(G12D/+);CreT and R26(H1047R/+);KRas(G12D/+);CreT tumors Total RNA was extracted from tumors developed by Qiagen RNAeasy kit and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:The goal of this study was to compare expression profiles of mouse Kras G12D Trp53 -/- lung cancer cells that have inactivated MGA compared to controls

Project description:KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated genes across all cancer subtypes. Two of the most frequent oncogenic KRAS mutations observed in patients result in glycine to aspartic acid substitution at either codon 12 (G12D) or 13 (G13D). Although the biochemical differences between these two predominant mutations are not fully understood, distinct clinical features of the resulting tumors suggest involvement of disparate signaling mechanisms. When we compared the global and phosphotyrosine proteomic profiles of isogenic colorectal cancer cell lines bearing either G12D or G13D KRAS mutation, we observed both shared as well as unique signaling events induced by the two KRAS mutations.
