Project description:Activation of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway due to Patched 1 (PTCH1) mutation is a key event in sporadic and familial basal cell carcinoma (BCC) development. To find out the specific pathway for therapeutic intervention, we developed a mouse BCC model by skin specific Ptch1 inactivation, and sought to identify novel Shh targets. We used microarrays to identify up-regulated genes in mouse BCC. We used microarrays to identify down-regulated genes in mouse BCC cell line by cyclopamine.

Project description:MicroRNA expression profiling of mouse basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells comparing BCC cells transfected with a stealth for dio3 transcript or control stealth-RNA. Two-condition experiment, Stealth-D3 vs Stealth-CTR cells. Biological replicates: 3 Stealth-D3 and 3 Stealth-CTR, independently grown and harvested. Single RNA were pooled. One replicate per array.
