Project description:Analysis of S100A4+ stromal cells at the gene expression level in physiological setting versus metastatic setting. Total RNA was isolated from FACS-sorted S100A4+ stromal cells from normal lung of S100A4-GFP transgenic mice compared to FACS-sorted S100A4+ stromal cells from metastatic lung of 4T1 tumor-bearing S100A4-GFP transgenic mice.
Project description:To identify gene products expressed in S100A4-producing cells in Peyer's patches, we used transgenic mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the control of the mouse S100A4 promoter (S100A4-GFP mice) and analyzed gene expression profiles using microarray. As a result, we found that S100A4-producing cells expressed many genes characteristic of LysoMac/DCs and ILC3s.
