ABSTRACT: To understand its role RUVBL1/2 in neuroblastoma, we inhibited RUVBL1/2 ATPase activity two independent cell lines, SK-N-AS and CBL-BA, with 250 nM CB-6644 at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hrs and performed RNA sequencing.
Project description:MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells were treated with 7 µM 5-Azacytidine (Cayman Chemical 11164), or 450 nM CB-5083 (Cayman Chemical 19311), or in combination, or 0.1% DMSO as control. Treatments were conducted for 48 hours.
Project description:To understand the in vivo transcriptomic response to ATR inhibition, RNA-Seq was performed 3 days after treatment of a previously developed neuroblastoma mouse model (Alk-F1178S;Th-MYCN; see Borenas et al., EMBO J, 2021) with the ATR inhibitor ceralasertib.
Project description:SAT1 is the mammalian polyamine acetylation enzyme. In order to characterize the transcriptional alterations resulting from SAT1 ablation in tumor cells in vivo, we knocked out SAT1 in a genetic glioma model (PTEN/P53/NF1 knockout) and performed RNAseq.
Project description:To characterize the downstream gene expression response following ATR inhibition, we performed RNA-Seq after treatment of CLB-BAR and CLB-GE neuroblastoma cells with 50 nM of the ATR inhibitor BAY 1895344 for 24h and 48h
Project description:To understand the in vivo transcriptomic response to ATR inhibition, RNA-Seq was performed after treatment of 2 previously developed neuroblastoma mouse models (Alk-F1178S;Th-MYCN and Rosa26_Alkal2;Th-MYCN; see Borenas et al., EMBO J, 2021) with the ATR inhibitor BAY 1895344.
Project description:The experiment was designed to compare transcriptomic differences between WT and Ccr6 KO Tregs during activation. WT and Ccr6 KO Tregs, cells were isolated from mice and cultured in vitro for 3 days with activation using anti-CD3/CD28 beads. Total RNA was extracted using the Trizol method. Quantity and quality were assessed using a Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ 2000/2000c Spectrophotometer. Novogene Corporation Inc prepared the RNA-seq 250-300 bp insert cDNA library. Illumina HiSeq platform PE150 sequencing was used for sequencing, yielding 20M raw reads/sample. Mus Musculus mm39 was used as the reference genome for alignment.
Project description:Mice with colonic tumors (chemically induced by AOM/DSS) were treated with Nutlin or control vehicle solution to analyze p53 target gene expression in vivo.
Project description:Global miRNAs expression profilling of SK-N-BE(2)-C cells after dsRNA-mediated knockdown of MYCN To identify MYCN-associated miRNAs, we carried out a small RNA-seq on MYCN knockdown in SK-N-BE(2)-C cells to profile the miRNA expression.
Project description:BackgroundNeuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in infants accounting for approximately 15% of all cancer-related deaths. Over 50% of high-risk neuroblastoma relapse, emphasizing the need of novel drug targets and therapeutic strategies. In neuroblastoma, chromosomal gains at chromosome 17q, including IGF2BP1, and MYCN amplification at chromosome 2p are associated with adverse outcome. Recent, pre-clinical evidence indicates the feasibility of direct and indirect targeting of IGF2BP1 and MYCN in cancer treatment.MethodsCandidate oncogenes on 17q were identified by profiling the transcriptomic/genomic landscape of 100 human neuroblastoma samples and public gene essentiality data. Molecular mechanisms and gene expression profiles underlying the oncogenic and therapeutic target potential of the 17q oncogene IGF2BP1 and its cross-talk with MYCN were characterized and validated in human neuroblastoma cells, xenografts and PDX as well as novel IGF2BP1/MYCN transgene mouse models.ResultsWe reveal a novel, druggable feedforward loop of IGF2BP1 (17q) and MYCN (2p) in high-risk neuroblastoma. This promotes 2p/17q chromosomal gains and unleashes an oncogene storm resulting in fostered expression of 17q oncogenes like BIRC5 (survivin). Conditional, sympatho-adrenal transgene expression of IGF2BP1 induces neuroblastoma at a 100% incidence. IGF2BP1-driven malignancies are reminiscent to human high-risk neuroblastoma, including 2p/17q-syntenic chromosomal gains and upregulation of Mycn, Birc5, as well as key neuroblastoma circuit factors like Phox2b. Co-expression of IGF2BP1/MYCN reduces disease latency and survival probability by fostering oncogene expression. Combined inhibition of IGF2BP1 by BTYNB, MYCN by BRD inhibitors or BIRC5 by YM-155 is beneficial in vitro and, for BTYNB, also.ConclusionWe reveal a novel, druggable neuroblastoma oncogene circuit settling on strong, transcriptional/post-transcriptional synergy of MYCN and IGF2BP1. MYCN/IGF2BP1 feedforward regulation promotes an oncogene storm harboring high therapeutic potential for combined, targeted inhibition of IGF2BP1, MYCN expression and MYCN/IGF2BP1-effectors like BIRC5.
