Project description:Abnormal lipid metabolism is a hallmark of tumor and represents an anti-cancer strategy. β-lactamase like protein (LACTB) is a novel tumor suppressor, but the biological function and the involved mechanism in glioma remain unclear. Here, we show that LACTB overexpression suppresses glioma growth while LACTB knockdown shows the opposite effect. By RNA-sequencing and untargeted lipidomics analysis, we find that LACTB overexpression inhibits the lipid synthesis of glioma cells. Mechanistically, LACTB downregulates ERBB3 and inhibits PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, which restrains the lipogenesis of tumor cells. We further uncover that LACTB overexpression decreases the protein stability of ERBB3 by lysosomal degradation. LACTB promotes the interaction of ERBB3 and Hsc70 to facilitate ERBB3 degradation in lysosome. Finally, we show that targeting LACTB/ERBB3 axis significantly suppresses glioma growth in the mouse model. Therefore, our study reveals the antitumoral role of LACTB in glioma and the LACTB/ERBB3 axis represents a potential new therapeutic target for this tumor.
Project description:We want to obtain FLT3-ITD gene signature. To do so, we transduced CB CD34+ cells with mock or FLT3-ITD vectors and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Two Groups: Group1: CB CD34+ cells transduced with mock vector; Group2: CB CD34+ cells transduced with FLT3-ITD vector;
Project description:The knock down of T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA) proteins enhances the acquisition of aberrant cellular phenotypes promoting uncontrolled cell and tumor growth. Hereby, we report that inducible expression of either TIA1 or TIAR in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells represses cell proliferation. Mechanistically, the sustained expression of either TIA1 or TIAR protein abolishes endogenous TIA1/TIAR protein expression via regulating splicing of their own pre-mRNAs. This event is concomitant with cell cycle arrest and cell death by apoptosis. Based on genome-wide analysis of the transcript expression patterns in HuR-, TIA1- or TIAR-expressing HEK293 cells, we found regulatory links among the up-regulation on a select subset of p53 pathway genes involved in G1/S cell-cycle and apoptosis control. Finally, nude mice injected with TIA1- or TIAR-expressing HEK293 cells decrease, and even abolishing, the growth of tumor xenografts relative to control cells. Collectively, these observations show that TIA proteins can function as tumor suppressor genes. Two independent biological replicates were performed per sample type. Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 array were used in all cases (single-channel hybridizations)
Project description:In this study, we used empty vector (EV), HPV16 E5- transduced and HPV16 E6E7-transduced CAL-27 cells to perform RNA-seq analysis. The data obtained from RNA-seq analysis was further used for differential gene expression and pathway enrichment analysis.

Project description:This data represent characterization of the interactome of murine Thpok. A version of Thpok (Thpok-Bio) subject to biotinylation in vivo by the BirA biotin ligase was used; to assess Thpok interactions in primary cells, Thpok-Bio was retrovirally expressed in in vitro activated CD4+ T cells from Thpokfl/fl Ox40-Cre+ mice carrying a Rosa26BirA allele. Expression of Ox40-Cre, initiated upon T cell activation, causes the deletion of endogenous Thpokfl alleles, so that transduced cells only express Thpok-Bio. Two Thpok deletion constructs (BKK and RFK) were also analyzed. Following streptavidin pulldown, proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, the full lane cut into 9 slices, and in-gel digested. FIles are: 1384 - empty vector; 1385 - Thpok; 1386 - Thpok + Ethidium Bromide; 1387 - Thpok BKK; 1388 - Thpok RFK.
