Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is therapeutically recalcitrant and metastatic. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with metastasis, however, a causal connection needs further unraveling. We explored the impact of stabilized EMT states on PDAC metastasis through the use of genetically-engineered mouse models that exhibit a stabilized epithelial phenotype through the deletion of EMT-driving transcription factors Snail and Twist together We examined the cancer cell-intrinsic pathways associated with stabilized epithelial pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells.
Project description:Stabilized Epithelial Phenotype of Cancer Cells in Primary Tumors Leads to Increased Colonization of Liver Metastasis in Pancreatic Cancer
Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing analyses were performed on unfractionated live cell mixtures or YFP sorted cancer cells from pancreatic tumors or liver mets of KPC;YFP control mice and KPC;SnailKO;TwistKO;YFP mice, so as to investigate the Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) of cancer cells in primary tumors and metastases. The effect of cancer-specific knockout of EMT transcription factor Snail and Twist on cancer cell EMT was studied by comparing KPC;YFP control mice and KPC;SnailKO;TwistKO;YFP mice. Each sample was in an individual folder containing the related fastq raw data files.
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:Expression data from pancreatic cancer cell lines and non-neoplastic pancreatic cell line HPDE To identify genes epigenetically silenced and regulated in pancreatic cancer We compared the gene expression profiles of 6 pancreatic cancer cell lines (panc215, A32-1, A38-5, panc2.5, panc2.8, and panc3.014), to the non-neoplastic pancreas cell line, HPDE. We also compared the baseline gene expression of the pancreatic cancer cell lines to expression patterns after treatment with 5-aza-dC alone, TSA alone, and to a combination of 5-aza-dC/TSA.
