Project description:DTC is the niche of GSCs in C. elegans. To pursue how DTC senses and responds to the loss of GSCs, we isolated DTCs from WT worms and glp-1 mutants (genetic germline ablation) and profiled their transcriptomes.
Project description:To identify the mechanisms driving resistance upon KrasG12V ablation, we established lung cancer cell lines that carried loxP sequences flanking the exon 1 of Kras containing the G12V mutation (Kras +/loxG12Vlox), and lacked Trp53 alleles (Trp53 -/-). Tumor cells were infected with Adeno-Cre particles to excise the floxed sequences and individual cells that survived were expanded for further analysis.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of germline-ablated P. pacificus worms versus un-ablated wild-type controls. Food source E. coli OP50 for both conditions. The goal was to identify genes that regulate the enhanced longevity observed in germline-deficient animals. One-condition experiments. Germline ablated P. pacificus versus un-ablated wild-type P. pacificus. Developmental stage = Young adults. Food source = E. coli OP50 for both conditions. 3 biological replicates for each condition, including 2 dye-swaps.
