Project description:Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) is a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). EZH2 expression is significantly upregulated in MPNST. In our study, we investigated the function of EZH2 and the molecular mechanisms that are regulated by EZH2 in MPNST pathogenesis. Our findings enhance the knowledge of EZH2’s function and biology, and have the potential to provide a novel therapeutic approach for MPNST patients in the clinic. An EZH2 knockdown experiment was carried out in MPNST cells. There are one control and one siEZH2 samples for two cell lines (724 and 462) and two repeats for each cell line, so in total there are 8 samples. Two group comparison

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cancer stem-like cells are proposed to sustain solid tumors by virtue of their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation to cells that comprise the bulk of the tumor, and have been identified for a variety of cancers based on characteristic clonal morphologies and patterns of marker gene expression. METHODS: Single cell cloning and spheroid culture studies were used to identify a population of cancer stem-like cells in the androgen-independent human prostate cancer cell line PC3. RESULTS: We demonstrate that, under standard culture conditions, ~10% of PC3 cells form holoclones with cancer stem cell characteristics. These holoclones display high self-renewal capability in spheroid formation assays under low attachment and serum-free culture conditions, retain their holoclone morphology when passaged at high cell density, exhibit moderate drug resistance, and show high tumorigenicity in scid immunodeficient mice. PC3 holoclones readily form spheres, and PC3-derived spheres yield a high percentage of holoclones, further supporting their cancer stem cell-like nature. We identified one gene, FAM65B, whose expression is consistently up regulated in PC3 holoclones compared to paraclones, the major cell morphology in the parental PC3 cell population, and two genes, MFI2 and LEF1, that are consistently down regulated. This molecular profile, FAM65Bhigh/MFI2low/LEF1low, also characterizes spheres generated from parental PC3 cells. The PC3 holoclones did not show significant enriched expression of the putative prostate cancer stem cell markers CD44 and integrin M-NM-12M-NM-21. PC3 tumors seeded with holoclones showed dramatic down regulation of FAM65B and dramatic up regulation of MFI2 and LEF1, and unexpectedly, a marked increase in tumor vascularity compared to parental PC3 tumors, suggesting a role of cancer stem cells in tumor angiogenesis. CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the proposal that PC3 tumors are sustained by a small number of tumor-initiating cells with stem-like characteristics, including strong self-renewal and pro-angiogenic capability and marked by the expression pattern FAM65Bhigh/MFI2low/LEF1low. These markers may serve as targets for therapies designed to eliminate cancer stem cell populations associated with aggressive, androgen-independent prostate tumors such as PC3.

Four PC3 cell-derived holoclones, selected based on their clear and unambiguous holoclone morphology and designated holoclones 2H10, 2G7, 1A8 and 5A2, were used for global transcriptome/microarray analysis in direct comparison to parental PC3 cells. Total RNA was prepared from each of four sequential cell passages for each PC3-derived holoclone, and from four passages of parental PC3 cells, 48 h after seeding the cells at 100,000 cells per well of a 6-well plate. For each sample (holoclones or parental PC3 cells), a pool of RNA was prepared by combining equal amounts of RNA from each passage to minimize the effects of passage number and inter-sample variability on gene expression profiles. All RNAs had an RNA integrity number >8.0, determined using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 instrument. cDNAs transcribed from pools of RNA for each holoclone, and for parental PC3 cells, were labeled with Alexa 647 or Alexa 555 dyes in a fluorescent reverse pair (dye swap) design for competitive hybridization to Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarrays.

Project description:The specific functional features of the epidermal keratinocytes are determined by the activity of many genes. The aim of the project was to characterize the role of HSPA2, a member of the HSPA chaperone family (HSP70), in human epidermal keratinocytes. The downregulation of HSPA2 gene in HaCaT cell line was performed by lentivirus-mediated shRNA method. Next, the effect of modifications on the transcriptomic profile of cells growing in a three-dimensional model of reconstructed human epidermis in vitro was investigated. The cells were grown at air-liquid interface culture on extracellular matrix to achieve maximal level of HaCaT differentiation in RHE system. This study was supported by a Polish National Science Center grant number NCN 2017/25/B/NZ4/01550.

Project description:We evaluated the gene expression profiles of the 1228- and 0316-Glioma-initiating cells (GICs), as well as the original glioblastoma tissues from which they were derived, plus neural stem cells and normal brain tissues. Short- and long-term cultures of 0316-GICs (2 and 6 months, respectively) were also included in the analysis in order to evaluate the potential effects of in vitro culture duration on gene expression. Expressional changes by EZH2 depletion and DZnep treatment were also evaluated.

Project description:Knockdowns of c-JUN and JUND had opposite effects on PC3 prostate cell migration. We predicted that c-JUN and JUND control the same set of cell migration genes, but in opposite directions. To test this hypothesis, mRNA with expression changes in c-JUN and JUND knockdown PC3 cell lines were compared to mRNA levels in control (luciferase knockdown) PC3 cells by RNA-seq. mRNA profiles of luciferase knockdown (WT), c-Jun knockdown, and Jun-D knockdown in PC3 cells were generated using deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq. Knockdowns were stable shRNA expression from a lentiviral construct selected with puromycin.

Project description:Aims: Loss of nuclear TDP-43 characterises sporadic and most familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). TDP-43 (encoded by TARDBP) has multiple roles in RNA processing. We aimed to determine whether 1) RNA splicing dysregulation is present in lower motor neurons in ALS and in a motor neuron-like cell model, and 2) TARDBP mutations (mtTARDBP) are associated with aberrant RNA splicing using patient-derived fibroblasts. Methods: Affymetrix exon arrays were used to study mRNA expression and splicing in lower motor neurons obtained by laser capture microdissection of autopsy tissue from individuals with sporadic ALS and TDP-43 proteinopathy. Findings were confirmed by qRT-PCR and in NSC34 motor neuronal cells following shRNA-mediated TDP-43 depletion. Exon arrays and immunohistochemistry were used to study mRNA splicing and TDP-43 expression in fibroblasts from patients with mtTARDBP-associated, sporadic and mutant SOD1-associated ALS. Results: We found altered expression of spliceosome components in motor neurons and widespread aberrations of mRNA splicing that specifically affected genes involved in ribonucleotide binding. This was confirmed in TDP-43 depleted NSC34 cells. Fibroblasts with mtTARDBP showed loss of nuclear TDP-43 protein and demonstrated similar changes in splicing and gene expression, that were not present in fibroblasts from patients with sporadic or SOD1-related ALS. Conclusion: Loss of nuclear TDP-43 is associated with RNA processing abnormalities in ALS motor neurons, patient-derived cells with mtTARDBP, and following artificial TDP-43 depletion, suggesting that splicing dysregulation directly contributes to disease pathogenesis. Key functional pathways affected include those central to RNA metabolism. RNA was extracted from NSC34 motor neuronal cells depleted of TDP-43 by shRNA (n=4), treated with control shGFP (n=4), and treated with control shLuciferase (n=3).

Project description:Ribosomal protein RPL19 is an integral component of eukaryotic ribosomes and universally involved in protein synthesis. Although consistently stableM-BM- in normal cells, RPL19 transcription is relatively elevated in prostate cancer. Using siRNA, we inhibited RPL19 transcription and demonstrated the gene to be functionally involved in promoting the malignant phenotype. Reducing RPL19 modulates a subset of genes rather than globally down-regulating protein synthesis, as evidenced by Western blotting and maintenance of cell proliferation. Mechanistically, either all ribosomes are not structurally and functionally identical or absence of RPL19 is compensated by other ribosomal protein genes. Following RPL19 inhibition, gene expression analysis confirms induction of the non-malignant phenotype principally to involve perturbation of transcription factor networks and cellular adhesion genes. 10 microarray experiments were analysed using five different prostate cell types: PC3M, PNT2, PC3M with stable knockdown transfection, PC3M with a scrambled virus and various PC3M knockdowns pooled
