Project description:The project profiled the expression patterns in hypoxia induced secretomes between MDA-MB-231 parental and MDA-MB-231 Bone Tropic (BT) breast cancer cell lines which have been previously generated by Massague and colleagues (Kang et al. Cancer Cell 2003).
Project description:Dicer, RNase III endonuclease, is an essential enzyme in miRNA biogenesis that regulates target gene expression, and it has been reported that aberrant expressions of Dicer associate with the clinical outcomes of patients in various cancers. To explore the miRNA differencial expression regulated by Dicer in MDA-MB-231/E1A cells, the microarray profiling analysis was employed to conduct differentially expressed miRNAs in stable MDA-MB-231/vector, MDA-MB-231/E1A, and MDA-MB-231/E1A/shDicer cells.
Project description:We report the gene expression patterns in MDA-MB-231 (a line selected for low metastatic ability), MDA-MB-231-1833 (its bone-tropic metastatic derivative line), MDA-MB-231p27CK-DD (a phosphomimetic cell line), MDA-MB-231-1833shp27 (p27 knockdown cell line), MDA-MB-231-1833PF1502 (PI3K inhibitor treatment). It shows that the gene expression pattern are regulated in a p27 phosphorylation-dependent manner.
Project description:To discover the potential drivers of TNBC metastasis, we established an in vivo model by injecting MDA-MB-231cells into the tail veins of mice. Then, the breast tumor cells that successfully grew into metastatic lung tumors were collected and expanded in vitro, followed by re-injected into the tail veins of mice for lung metastasis. After three rounds of selection, a highly metastatic subline, MDA-MB-231-P3, was established, and more frequent micro-metastasis was detected in MDA-MB-231-P3 groups than that of MDA-MB-231 groups when the lungs of mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). The lncRNA profiles of MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-231-P3 cells were analyzed by lncRNA sequencing. A total of 267 lncRNAs in MDA-MB-231-P3 cells were upregulated more than 2-fold in comparison to the MDA-MB-231 cells.
Project description:Using microarray, we compared miRNAs expression profiles of MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with myocardin and empty vector (pcDNA3.1) and found that 25 miRNAs were significantly changed in myocardin-transfected groups (17 up-regulated and 9 down-regulated miRNAs). Moreover, we showed that 18 of 25 miRNAs significantly regulated by myocardin were inhibited by ERα in MDA-MB-231 cells. In addition,through a microarray approach, we identify the subset of miRNAs modulated by ERα in MDA-MB-231 cells. Our results determined that ERα may function as tumor-promoter through down-regulating expression of 3 miRNAs (miR-26b, miR-146a and miR-331-3p) in MDA-MB-231 cells.
Project description:Identification of changes in protein expression by label-free shotgun proteomics in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells with knockdown of ELOVL5 and IGFBP6 genes in comparison with control MDA-MB-231 cells.
Project description:Androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in 60-70% of breast cancers independent of estrogen receptor (ER) expression, however its function in breast cancer is largely unknown. Our study identified the high level of AR in ERâ??/HER2+ breast tumors and andorgen and AR greatly stimulated growth of MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells. To define the genome-wide AR binding sites, we performed AR ChIP-seq using MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells followig stimulation of DHT. We also identified FOXA1 is a crucial AR cofactor in MDA-MB-453 cells and the FOXA cistrome showed signaficant overlap with AR at both early and late time points of DHT stimulation. AR ChIP was performed in MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells following 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stimulation for 4h and 16h respectively. FOXA1 ChIP-seq was performed after 4h DHT stimulation in MDA-MB-453 cells.
