Project description:Newborn Balb/c mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1.5x10^6 fluorescent-forming units (ffu) of type- A Rhesus Rotavirus (RRV) or 0.9% normal saline (NS; control) within 24 hours of birth to induce experimental model of biliary atresia. Extrahepatic bile ducts including gallbladder were microdissected en bloc at 3, 7 and 14 days after RRV or saline injections. GeneChipM-BM-. Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix, CA) were used to screen mRNAs whose expression was differently regulated after RRV challenge compared to normal saline controls. Gene expression profiling: Each experimental conditon contains 3 sets of samples. Each sample consists of two to six extrahepatic bile ducts pooled prior to isolation of total RNA to ensure generation of adequate mRNA to perform quantitative experiments.

Gene expression profiling. Each experimental conditon has 3 sets of samples . Two to six extrahepatic bileducts were pooled prior to isolating total RNA depending on the size to ensure adequate RNA quantities to perform experiments quantifying mRNA expression.

Project description:Biliary tract cancer (BTC) has poor prognosis. The Notch receptor is aberrantly expressed in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA). However, the role of Notch signaling in the initiation and progression of eCCA and gallbladder (GB) cancer remains unknown. We investigated the functional role of Notch signaling during tumorigenesis of the extrahepatic bile duct and GB. We demonstrated that simultaneous activation of the Kras–Akt and Notch pathways in EHBD and GB resulted in the formation of BilINs and biliary cancer in a mouse model. Mechanistically, the Kras/Notch–Myc axis activates mTORC1 through phosphorylation of TSC2 in biliary tumorigenesis.

Project description:Taqman Low Density Arrays (TLDA) based microRNAs expression profile of mouse extrahepatic bileducts and gallbladders during a mouse model of biliary atresia.
Project description:RNA-Sequencing was performed on mechanically dissociated, epithelial-enriched samples, of human extrahepatic biliary tissue from Gallbladder, Common Bile Duct, and Pancreatic Duct tissues. Sequencing was also performed on in vitro cultures of Organoid cell lines at passage 5 that were derived from human Gallbladder, Common Bile Duct, Pancreatic Duct, or Intrahepatic Bile Ducts.
