Primary effusion lymphoma cell lines BC-1 and BC-3
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Microarray analysis of primary effusion lymphoma cell lines BC-1 and BC-3 Total RNA from BC-1 and BC-3 cell lines was processed for analysis in one replicate on Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays to obtain data on whether genes are expressed and to compare to existing microarray data.

Project description:Detection of breast cancer (BC) in young women is challenging because mammography, the most common tool for detecting BC, is not effective on the dense breast tissue characteristic of young women. In addition to the limited means for detecting their BC, young women face a transient increased risk of pregnancy-associated BC. As a consequence, reproductively active women could benefit significantly from a tool that provides them with accurate risk assessment and early detection of BC. One potential method for detection of BC is biochemical monitoring of proteins and other molecules in bodily fluids such as serum, nipple aspirate, ductal lavage, tear, urine, saliva and breast milk. Of all these fluids, only breast milk provides access to a large volume of breast tissue, in the form of exfoliated epithelial cells, and to the local breast environment, in the form of molecules in the milk. Thus, analysis of breast milk is a non-invasive method with significant potential for assessing BC risk. Here we analyzed human breast milk by mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to build a biomarker signature for early detection of BC. Ten milk samples from 8 women provided 5 paired-groups (cancer versus control) for analysis of differentially expressed proteins: 2 within woman comparisons (milk from a diseased breast versus a healthy breast of the same woman) and 3 across women comparisons (milk from a woman with cancer versus a woman without cancer). Despite a wide range in the time between milk donation and cancer diagnosis (cancer diagnosis occurred from 1 month before to 24 months after milk donation), the levels of some proteins differed significantly between cancer and control in several of the 5 comparison groups. These pilot data are supportive of the idea that molecular analysis of breast milk will identify proteins informative for early detection and accurate assessment of BC risk, and warrant further research.
Project description:We performed Ago HITS-CLIP to identify targets of viral and human miRNAs in latently KSHV-infected PEL cells Ago HITS-CLIP was performed in two latently infected PEL cell lines, BCBL-1 and BC-3; Argonaute-immunoprecipitation of UV cross-linked Ago-miRNA-mRNA complexes, followed by RNA isolation, library construction, and high-throughput sequencing (Illumina GAxII); we performed 3 biological replicates for each cell line, two technical (sequencing) replicates of BCBL-1 biological replicate 1
