Project description:HCT116 colon carcinoma cells invade more the basement membrane when carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are present. In order to identify if CAFs induce an invasive phenotype to HCT116 cells, and therefore regulate genes expression related to invasion, we compared gene expression of HCT116 cells cultured alone or in the presence of CAFs.
Project description:To investigate the role of GSTM1, we knocked down GSTM1 expression in primary mouse astrocytes using lenvirtus vector expressing Gstm1 shRNAmir and then exposed them to TNF-alpha. Non-silencing shRNAmir and non-stimulation served as shRNA and treatment controls, respectively.
Project description:Expression profiling of HCT116 colon cancer cells with different treatments. Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip was used to obtain expression profiles across more than 31,000 annotated genes. Total RNA obtained from HCT116 cells with different treatments, namely, cells with TNF-α (50ng/ml)/IFN-ɣ (50U/ml) treatment, cells with TNF-α (50 ng/ml)/IFN-ɣ (50 U/ml) and silibinin (100 uM) treatment and cells without any treatment. Each sample has 2 biological replicates.
Project description:RNA sequencing was performed on HCT116 and HKE3 colorectal cancer cell lines before stimulation and at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 mins post-stimulation with transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α) (0.01 µg/mL, Abcam). Three replicates were sequenced at each time point.
Project description:Adipocytes are dynamic cells that have critical functions to maintain body energy homeostasis. Function of adipocyte is affected by adipogenic differentiation, and exogenous stimulation of biochemical factors such as serotonin and TNF-. Serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine, 5-HT) is a biogenic monoamine, which known to be involved in lipid metabolism in adipocytes. The TNF- is a proinflammatory cytokines involved in adipocyte biology. Here we investigated the global transcriptome alterations of porcine intramuscular adipocytes at undifferentiated preadipocyte, differentiated adipocytes state, and adipocytes after stimulation with serotonin and TNF- for 12 h by using Agilent’s Porcine (V2) one-color Gene Expression Microarray 4 × 44. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the expression of 443, 261, and 249 genes were altered after differentiation, and after serotonin and TNF- stimulation, respectively. Differentiation process of adipocytes are found to be involved with expression changes of APP, HNF4A, ESR1, EGR1, SRC, HNF1A, FN1, ALB, STAT3, CBL, CEBPB, AR, FOS, CFTR, PAN2, PTPN6, VDR, PPARG, STAT5A and NCOA3 genes which are enriched in the ‘PPAR signaling pathway’ and ‘insulin resistance pathway’. Dose-dependent serotonin stimulation resulted in a decreased fat accumulation in the adipocytes as well as decreased adipocyte proliferation. Serotonin-induced differentially expressed genes in adipocytes were participated in the significant enrichment of GPCR ligand-binding, Cell chemotaxis, blood coagulation and complement pathways, metabolism of lipid and lipoproteins, regulation of lipid metabolism by PPARA; and lipid digestion, mobilization and transport pathways. TNF-α-induced transcriptional modification follows the similar trend, and alteration of many genes shared between both serotonin- and TNF-α stimulations. Our results provide new insights of transcriptome modifications associated with adipogenesis, and exogenous stimulation of serotonin- and TNF- to the porcine intramuscular adipocytes.
Project description:G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have diverse roles in physiological processes, including immunity. Gs-coupled GPCRs increase while Gi-coupled ones decrease intracellular cAMP. Previous studies suggest that, in epithelial cells, Gs-coupled GPCRs enhance whereas Gi-coupled GPCRs suppress pro-inflammatory immune responses. In order to examine the issue, we chose beta2 adrenergic receptor and GPR40 as representatives of Gs- and Gi- coupled GPCRs, respectively, and examined their effects on TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma-(TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma) induced gene expression by HaCaT. We used microarrays to detail the global changes of gene expression induced by a beta2 adrenergic receptor agonist terbutaline or GPR40 agonist GW9508 pre-treatment in TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma - stimulated HaCaT cells. HaCaT cells were pre-treated with terbutaline or GW9508, TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma were then added, and cultured for another 24 h. Cells were then used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to clarify changes in gene expression after 1) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma, 2) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + terbutaline, and 3) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + GW9508 treatment. To this end, we set 4 groups of samples; 1) unstimulated group, 2) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma-stimulated group, 3) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + terbutaline-stimulated group, and 4) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + GW9508-stimulated group. In each group, HaCaT cells were stimulated in triplicate wells (n=3).
