Project description:By survival analysis of breast cancer patients, JMJD6 was found to be significantly associated with poor prognosis. Over-expression and knock-down of JMJD6 in breast cancer cell lines suggested a role in proliferation. In order to study the transcriptional events that occur following JMJD6 expression changes, siRNA-mediated knock-down of JMJD6 was performed in MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 and stable over-expression of JMJD6 was performed in MCF-7. There are 2 different siRNA-mediated knock-downs of JMJD6 with 2 biological replicates in MCF-7 and MDA-MB231; 3 clones of JMJD6 over-expression with 3 biological replicates in MCF-7. The control for the knock-downs is scrambled siRNA-treated MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 and the control for JMJD6 over-expression is empty vector over-expression in MCF-7.

Project description:This study aimed to further our understanding of the role that CXCR6 plays in breast cancer progression. Microarrays were searched for some genes that had correlated expression with CXCR6 mRNA. According to fold-change screening between restoring expression of CXCR6 and its respective control cells in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, both up-regulated and down-regulated genes were shown. The restoring of CXCR6 expression in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were respectively noted as MDA-MB-231-CXCR6 and MCF-7-CXCR6 cells and the respective controls were noted as MDA-MB-231-GFP and MCF-7-GFP cells.
Project description:To develop a more complete characterization of TFAP2C target genes, ChIP-seq with anti-TFAP2C antibody and expression arrays with TFAP2C knock down were analyzed in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells. To find TFAP2C binding sites
Project description:The long-term goal of our study is to understand the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis in human and to discover new possible genetic markers for use in clinical practice. We have used microarray technology (Human OneArray microarray, phylanxbiotech.com) to compare gene expression profiles of non-invasive MCF-7 and invasive MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to dioscin (DS), a steroidal saponin isolated from the roots of wild yam, (Dioscorea villosa). Initially the differential expression of genes (DEG) was identified that followed pathway enrichment analysis (PEA). Of the genes queried on OneArray, we identified 4641 DEG changed between MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (vehicle-treated) with cut-off log2 |fold change|⧠1. Among these genes, 2439 genes are upregulated and 2002 genes are downregulated. DS exposure (2.30 ïM, 72 h) to these cells identified 801 (MCF-7) and 96 (MDA-MB-231) DEG that showed significant difference compared to untreated cells (p<0.05). Within these gene sets, DS is able to upregulate 395 genes and downregulate 406 genes in MCF-7 and upregulate 36 and downregulate 60 genes in MDA-MB-231 cells. Further comparison of DEG between MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to DS identified 3626 DEG of which 1700 were upregulated and 1926 genes were down-regulated. From PEA, 12 canonical pathways were significantly altered between these two cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). However, no alteration in any of these pathways was noticed in MCF-7 cell, while in MDA-MB-231 cells only MAPK pathway showed significant alteration. When PEA comparison was made on DS exposed cells, it was observed that only 2 pathways were significantly affected. Further, to identify shared DEG, which are targeted by DS and overlapped in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, we performed intersection analysis (Venn diagram). We found that only 7 DEG are overlapped of which six are reported in the database. This study highlights the diverse gene networks and pathways through which DS exhibits its effect on breast cancer cells. Two condition experiment. Human breast cancer Cell line MCF-7 groups: Vehicle control and dioscin treated; Human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 cell group; vehicle control and dioscin-treated. Biological replicates: MCF-7 control compared to MCF-7 dioscin treated; MDA-MB-231 control compated to MDA-MB-231 dioscin-treated; MCF-7 control compared to MDA-MB-231 control; MCF-7 dioscin treated compared to MDA-MB-231 dioscin-treated. duplicate array
Project description:Transcriptomic profiling of SOX4 knock-down MDA-LM2 cell line resulted in down-regulation of its transcriptional target gene, TMEM2. Two independent siRNAs were used to knock down SOX4 in metastatic MDA-LM2 cells. The cells were then subjected to transcripome profiling in comparison to control siRNA-transfected cells.
