Project description:The triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with high CD43 expression was stably transfected with a vector expressing a non-functional shRNA or 4 of these same vectors each expressing a different shRNA targeting human CD43 mRNA. The transcriptomes of these two daughter lines were then compared by differential microarray analysis.
Project description:To identify typical enhancers and super-enhancers in the MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cell line, we performed ChIP-seq using DNA isolated from untreated MDA-MB-231 cells using an H3K27ac antibody.
Project description:The cytokine Oncostatin M (OSM) promotes cancer progression by acting as central node for multicellular interactions between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells. OSM is mainly secreted by myeloid cells and the oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) is expressed by cancer cells and cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), among others. To understand the effect of OSM in triple negative breast cancer cells, a small and well-annotated Clariom S gene microarray was performed in OSM-overexpressing (MDA-MB-231-hOSM) and control (MDA-MB-231-hC) MDA-MB-231 cells.
Project description:Dicer, RNase III endonuclease, is an essential enzyme in miRNA biogenesis that regulates target gene expression, and it has been reported that aberrant expressions of Dicer associate with the clinical outcomes of patients in various cancers. To explore the miRNA differencial expression regulated by Dicer in MDA-MB-231/E1A cells, the microarray profiling analysis was employed to conduct differentially expressed miRNAs in stable MDA-MB-231/vector, MDA-MB-231/E1A, and MDA-MB-231/E1A/shDicer cells.
Project description:Identification of genes that are involved in self-seeding by comparing gene expression profiles between parental MDA-MB-231 cells and seeder cells (MDA-231-S1a and S1b) 2 replicates from each sample (parental MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-231 S1a and MDA-MB-231 S1b) were analyzed

To explore the miRNA differencial expression regulated by Dicer in MDA-MB-231/E1A cells, the microarray profiling analysis was employed to conduct differentially expressed miRNAs in stable MDA-MB-231/vector, MDA-MB-231/E1A, and MDA-MB-231/E1A/shDicer cells. The four groups including vector control, E1A-expressing and Dicer knockdown in E1A-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells were harvested and RNA were isolated. Two independent experiments were performed for each group.
Project description:RNA-Sequencing of basal subtype triple negative breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231. MDA-MB-231 cells were lentivirally transduced with pLKO short-hairpin (sh) luciferase control or shZnf148 in triplicates. Differentially expressed genes by the shRNA compared to the control were determined.
Project description:Our preliminary studies performed in vitro show that MDA-MB-231-FOXC1 cell, which were used to mimic the lung-colonizing triple-negative breast cancer cells, was an indispensable component for the induction of migration and tube formation of lung endothelial cells. Moreover, our results further show that mouse lung fibroblast-derived chemokines CCL2/7 act on MDA-MB-231-FOXC1 cells, which mediates the migration and tube formation of lung endothelial cells in vitro. To understand the signaling pathways activated by CCL2/7 in MDA-MB-231-FOXC1 cells, we performed RNA-Seq assay.

Project description:To investigate the function of Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing was used to knockout (KO) the NRP-1 gene in MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined in NRP-1 KO and parental MDA-MB-231 cells using whole transcriptome next-generation sequencing.
