Project description:A nonsense mutation in ARID1A was identified by next generation sequencing in non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus [BE] tissue and esophageal adenocarcinoma [EAC] tissue of a patient diagnosed with EAC. Immunohistochemistry performed on an independent archival cohort demonstrated ARID1A protein loss in 0% (0/76), 4.9% (2/40), 14.3% (4/28), 16.0% (8/50), and 12.2% (12/98) of normal squamous epithelium, BE, low-, high-grade dysplasia, and EAC tissues, respectively. Enhanced cell growth, proliferation and invasion were observed upon ARID1A knockdown in EAC cells. ARID1A was knocked down in OE33 cells (Sample MS_1 and MS_3) using on-TARGET smartpool ARID1A siRNA. At the same time, OE33 cells were transfected with a non-targeting siRNA, and these experiments (Samples MS_2 and MS_4) functioned as mock controls. Cells were harvested after 48 hours and total RNA was extracted using the Rneasy kit (Qiagen) Aim Affymetrix Human PrimeView Gene Expression Array : to determine the downstream effectors of ARID1A that are likely to contribute to the oncogenic phenotype caused by ARID1A down-regulation. Two biological replicates of each condition (2x ARID1A knockdown, and 2x Mock) were used for the microarray experiment.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of SAS cells transfected with pLKO.1-LYRIC shRNA-B expression vector (desinaged as B) and control SAS cells (transfected with pLKO.1 vector, designated as CTL). Goal was to determine the effects of LYRIC knockdown on global SAS cells gene expression.

Goal was to determine the effects of LYRIC knockdown on global SAS cells gene expression. Two-condition experiment, SAS cells transfected with pLKO.1-LYRIC shRNA-B expression vector (desinaged as B) v.s. control SAS cells (transfected with pLKO.1 vector, designated as CTL). Biological replicates: 4 control replicates, 4 transfected replicates.
Project description:mRNA-seq for HCT116 Parental and ARID1A knockdown cells, mRNA-seq for DLD1 Parental, ARID1A knockdown and ARID1A knockout cells, mRNA-seq for COLO320DM Parental and ARID1A knockdown and ARID1A knockout cells
Project description:Illumina array was employed to analyze the genes whose expression are altered when ARID1A gene is downregulated by shRNA in normal ovarian surface epithelial cells OSE4 and IOSE80pc. This leads to discovery of p53-regulated genes such as p21 and SMAD3. ARID1A knockdown in OSE4 and IOSE80pc
Project description:The study identifies genes that are regulated by the loss of the chromatin remodeller subunit ARID1A in colorectal cancer cell lines. This gene is frequently mutated in colorectal cancer.
