Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE31350: Transcriptomic analysis of the effect of CT16 (PAGE5) expression in WM-266-4 melanoma cells GSE31351: Transcriptomic analysis of the effect of CT16 (PAGE5) silencing by RNAi in A2058 melanoma cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:The cellular gene expression profiles were investigated in CT16 (PAGE5) negative WM-266-4 melanoma cells as well as in the WM-266-4 cells expressing transfected CT16 cDNA. Total RNA obtained from three individual cultures of WM-266-4 cells stably transfected with CT16 cDNA- containing plasmid and from three individual cultures of WM-266-4 cells stably transfected with intact vector.

Project description:Melanoma is a common type of cancer, and metastasis remains the leading cause for mortality in melanoma patients. In this study, we utilized an unbiased mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomic method to assess, at the global proteome scale, differential protein expression in a matched pair of primary/metastatic melanoma cell lines derived from the same patient, i.e. WM-115/WM-266-4. We found that TBC1D7 is overexpressed in metastatic (WM-266-4) relative to primary (WM-115) melanoma cells. We also observed that elevated expression of TBC1D7 promotes melanoma metastasis in vitro. Bioinformatic analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data suggested that higher mRNA expression levels of TBC1D7 predict poorer survival in melanoma patients. Furthermore, we showed that TBC1D7 promotes invasion of cultured melanoma cells in vitro, at least in part, through modulating the expression levels and activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMP2 and MMP9). Together, the results from the present study support TBC1D7 as a potential driver for melanoma metastasis.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
