Project description:<p>We generated a collection of patient-derived pancreatic normal and cancer organoids. We performed whole genome sequencing, targeted exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing on organoids as well as matched tumor and normal tissue if available. This dataset is a valuable resource for pancreas cancer researchers, and those looking to compare primary tissue to organoid culture. In our linked publication, we show that pancreatic cancer organoids recapitulate the mutational spectrum of pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, RNA sequencing of organoids demonstrates the presence of both transcriptional subtypes of pancreas cancer.</p>
Project description:Experiment designed to study the effect of 1 or 2 copies of deregulated myc on transcriptional profile during pancreatic cancer progression. In the KRasG12D/RosaMycER mouse model KRas and MycER are expressed exclusively in the pancreas, but MycER activity depends on Tamoxifen presence. RNAseq was preformed on pancreatas from KRasG12D/RosaMycER+/- or KRasG12D/RosaMycER+/+ mice treated 12 hours with Tamoxifen.
Project description:Experiment designed to study the effect of deregulated myc on pancreatic cancer progression and regression. In the KRasG12D/RosaMycER mouse model KRas and MycER are expressed exclusively in the pancreas, but MycER activity depends on Tamoxifen presence. RNAseq was preformed on pancreata from mice treated with Tamoxifen as follows: 1- Normal food. 2- Tamoxifen food 2 weeks. 3- Tamoxifen food 2 weeks, followed by normal food 1 day. 4- Tamoxifen food 2 weeks, followed by normal food 3 days.
Project description:The mesoderm is important in driving pulmonary organogenesis. We described a new method for rapid producing pulmonary organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by co-culturing anterior foregut endoderm (AFE) and mesoderm progenitors. The pulmonary organoids spontaneously formed within 14 days of the co-culturing. We measured gene expression on the pulmonary organoids and normal human iPSCs using RNAseq.
