Project description:Adenylate kinase 4 (AK4) is localized in the mitochondrial matrix, and is believed to be involved in stress, drug resistance, the malignant transformation of cancer, and ATP regulation. We produced AK4 knockdown HeLa cells by using shRNA and used these to analyze resistance, and found that sensitivity to hypoxia and drugs increased.

Project description:We use lentivirus carrying shRNA for THADA to evaluate the efect of THADA knockdown in Huh7 cells. The pGIPZ shRNA plasmid specific to human THADA (clone ID V3LHS_318037 Open Biosystems, Inc.) or the pGIPZ non-silencing shRNAmir lentiviral plasmid (as a control) was cotransfected with the pPACKH1 plasmid mix in HEK 293 cells. Stable clones of Huh7 cells with THADA knockdown were routinely maintained in a medium containing of puromycin (500ng/ml)

Project description:Novel therapies targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs), which play critical roles in chemo- and radio-resistance, metastasis, and possibly resistance against cancer immunotherapy including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene-transduced tumor cell vaccines, may provide beneficial clinical outcomes. Here, we used syngeneic immunocompetent mice that allowed precise evaluation of the immunogenicity of the side population (SP) isolated from 4T1 murine breast carcinoma (4T1-SP) cells as putative CSCs. 4T1-SP cells showed various stem cell properties including high capacities for colony formation and tumorigenicity as well as high expression of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 and vascular endothelial growth factor that are inductive of immune tolerance. Despite these progressive malignant characteristics of 4T1-SP cells, subcutaneous injection of non-transmissible Sendai virus-mediated GM-CSF gene-transduced 4T1-SP (4T1-SP/GM) cells remarkably impaired their tumorigenicity compared with that of the controls. This impairment of tumorigenicity was partially dependent on CD8+ T cells in concert with CD4+ T cells and natural killer cells. Notably, therapeutic vaccinations using irradiated 4T1-SP/GM cells markedly suppressed tumor development of subcutaneously transplanted 4T1-SP cells compared with that of the controls including irradiated 4T1-non-SP/GM cells. Tumor suppression was accompanied by robust accumulation of mature dendritic cells at vaccination sites and systemic Th1-based cellular immunity. Moreover, vaccinations comprising primary 4T1-SP cells isolated from transplanted 4T1-SP tumors elicited antitumor effects. cDNA microarray analysis showed that 4T1-SP cells predominantly expressed genes of cancer-related antigens including cancer/testis antigens. Collectively, we demonstrate that SP cell-based vaccinations induce effective antitumor immunity that may improve the efficacy of SP cell-based immunotherapy. Gene expression profiles were compared between sorted 4T1-SP and 4T1-NSP cells.

Project description:To explore genes involved in epiblast development, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes. Embryoid body (EB) formation induces embryonic stem (ES) cells to differentiate into germ layers via epiblasts and extra-embryonic tissues, whereas ES cells give rise only to extra-embryonic tissues in monolayer culture. We compared gene expression profiles of ES cells in each differentiation culture methods at day 1-3 or 4 of differentiation. The expression of organizer related genes (Lhx1, Cer1 and Foxa2) was specifically induced at day 3 of EBs, but not in monolayer culture. In epiblast model cells, the overexpression of Lhx1 induced gene expression of organizer and meso-endodermal markers, suggested that Lhx1 was related to epiblast differentiation. Gene expression related epiblast development was measured at undifferentiated state and day 1-3 or 4 of differentiation. Two independent experiments were performed at each time using different people for each experiment.

Project description:Carcinogenic bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, induce DNA double-strand breaks in infected host cells, while ATM-dependent DNA damage responses in host cells suppress genome instabilities caused by DNA breakages, which resulting in the suppression of H. pylori-induced gastric cancers. Although Helicobacter pylori infection is etiologically related to the inflammation-related malignancy, gastric cancers, it role in the molecular pathogenesis of disease remains unclear. In vitro studies have suggested the infection may cause breaks in double-stranded DNA. We used microarray analysis of H. pylori-infected human gastric biopsies to investigate the effect of H. pylori on gene expression genes involved in DNA repair and DNA damage response. Micro-array analysis and immunohistochemistory showed that ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) was upregulated in H. pylori gastritis but down regulated in the premalignant lesion, intestinal metaplasia. Studies in gastric cancer cell lines showed that H. pylori-infection induced activation of ATM and formation of γ-H2AX. γ-H2AX formation was present following infection with bout cag pathogenicity island (PAI)- positive and negative strains but more robust with cag PAI positive strains consistent with the fact that both cag PAI positive negative strains are associated with gastric cancer but the risk is higher with cag PAI positive strains. Eradication of H. pylori infection is associated with a reduction in cancer risk even in the most high risk populations. These data provide a plausible molecular mechanism for a direct bacterial-host interaction increasing cancer risk. To identify tumor suppressors affected by H. pylori-infection, microarray screening was used to compare the gene expression profiles of gastric mucosa obtained from individuals with H. pylori-gastritis and with intestinal metaplasia with tissue from uninfected controls.

Project description:CSE knockout (CSE-KO)mice at age 6 months were fed a high fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks.we determined the effects of CSE knockdown on beta-cell function and mass in islets from the mice. After 8 weeks of the HFD,blood glucose levels were drasically increaced in CSE-KO mice compared with WT mice. To assess the effect of HFD on gene expression in CSE-KO mice,we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis 2 samples analysis.control is CSE-WT(HFD+)

Project description:Controlling metastatic lesions is an important part of improving cancer prognosis, in addition to controlling the primary lesion. There have been many histological examinations of primary and metastatic lesions, but little basic research using cell strains from primary and metastatic lesions belonging to the same patient. In this study, we successfully established a cell strain derived from lower gingival carcinoma (WK2) and a strain derived from secondary cervical lymph node metastasis (WK3F) through primary cultures of tissue from a patient with oral squamous cell carcinoma. We then investigated the biological characteristics of the cancer cell strains from these primary and metastatic lesions, and analyzed metastasis-related genes. Comparing the biological characteristics in vitro showed WK3F to have higher cell proliferation ability and shorter cell doubling time than WK2. It also showed increased cell migratory ability, and high invasive and self-replication abilities. Heterotransplantation into nude mice resulted in high tumor formation rates in the tongue and high metastasis rates in the cervical lymph nodes. Changes in WK2 and WK3F gene expression were comprehensively analyzed with the microarray method. Genes with increased expression in WK3F compared to WK2 were extracted when Z-score ≥ 2.0 and ratio ≥ 5.0, while genes with reduced expression in WK3F compared to WK2 were extracted when Z-score ≤ -2.0 and ratio ≤ 0.2. As a result, differences were found in 604 genes. From these, MAGEC1 (88.0 times), MMP-7 (18.6 times), SNAI1 (6.6 times), MACC1 (6.2 times), and HTRA1 (0.012 times) were selected as metastasis-related candidate genes. The results suggest that these molecules could be important to clarifying the mechanism of metastasis, and could become therapeutic targets. We successfully established a cell strain derived from lower gingival carcinoma (WK2) and a strain derived from secondary cervical lymph node metastasis (WK3F) through primary cultures of tissue from a patient with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Changes in WK2 and WK3F gene expression were comprehensively analyzed with the microarray method.
