Project description:By performing oligonucleotide microarray analysis the role of Smad4 in response to TGF-ß was evaluated in established MDA-MB-468 Smad4 negative and positive clones that were treated with TGF-ß for different time points. Keywords: time-course
Project description:Identification of novel TGF-b1 and BMP-7-regulated genes in epithelial cells.<br> <br> Human mammary epithelial cell line MDA-MB-468 that is lacking endogenous Smad4 was infected with either an adenovirus carrying GFP cDNA (control) or Smad4 cDNA (to restore the Smad4 activity in the cells). Cells were treated with TGF-b1 (0.5 ng/ml) or BMP-7 (300 ng/ml) for 2 or 12h. Smad4-independent vs Smad4-dependent response was measured. Also response to both growth factors was compared.
Project description:In order to determine the impact on transcription of the novel bromodomain inhibitor OTX015, we treated two triple-negative breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468) treated with the compound at 24 hours.
Project description:The goal of this work was to identify all estrogen receptor beta target genes using RNA sequencing in MDA-MB-468 triple negative breast cancer cells engineered with inducible expression of full length estrogen receptor beta. MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells with inducible ERb expression (MDA-468-ERb cells) were treated in triplicate with vehicle (control, no ERb) or doxycycline (plus ERb) for 48 hr prior to treatment with 0.1% DMSO vehicle or 10 nM 17b-estradiol for 4 hr.
Project description:To investigate FOXC1 chromatin binding, and the effect of FOXC1 CRISPR knockout in triple negative breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, Hs578t, and Bt-549.

Project description:We used untargeted metabolomic profiling to distinguish this form of BCa from estrogen receptor positive (ER+) subtypes (+/- HER2/neu) and determine that may explain why a commonly used chemotherapeutic, paclitaxel, is generally ineffective at eliciting long-term cytotoxic and/or cytostatic responses in cell line models of TNBC. This metabolomics study used broad spectrum 1H NMR to compare Luminal A (BT474, MCF-7) and triple-negative (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468) BCa cell lines, to determine differences in the two subtypes as well as distinguish therapeutic treatment responses for identifying new targets for drug discovery.
Project description:1. Quantitative Proteomics: MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, and MCF12A cells were treated with DMSO (vehicle control) or SU056 (novel small molecule drug candidate). Quantitative proteomics analysis was performed on cell lysates. 2. Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA): MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with DMSO or SU056 and incubated at different temperatures and protein differences in the resulting soluble and insoluble fractions were determined.3. Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA): MDA-MB-231 YBOX1 KD cells were treated with DMSO or SU056 and incubated at different temperatures and protein differences in the soluble fractions were determined.
