Project description:The ability of high-risk neuroblastoma to survive unfavorable growth conditions and multimodal therapy is hypothesized to result from a phenomenon known as reversible adaptive plasticity (RAP). RAP is a novel phenomenon enabling neuroblastoma cells to transition between a proliferative anchorage dependent (AD) state and a slow growing anoikis-resistant anchorage independent (AI) state. We used microarrays to investigate the global gene expression profiles in AD and AI cells, and to identify the differential expressed genes within signaling pathways contributing to the reversible adaptive plasticity between AD and AI cells.

We used microarrays to investigate the global gene expression profiles in AD and AI cells, and to identify the differential expressed genes within signaling pathways contributing to the reversible adaptive plasticity between AD and AI cells. Comparison of microarray data from AD cells (n=4 independent cultures) versus AI cells (n=4 independent cultures) were performed using Partek Genomics Suite 6.5. Differentially expressed genes with an FDR M-bM-^IM-$5% and a fold-change M-bM-^IM-%1.5 were selected for pathway analysis.
Project description:The roles of histone demethylase KDM7 in gene expression were analyzed by gene expression profiling experiments with mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A. Keywords: mouse neuroblastoma, Neuro2A, gene expression profiling, microarray, Affimetrix M430 2.0 chip In order to examine the effect of KDM7 in gene expression, we generated stable KDM7 knockdown cell lines in mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2A. Total RNAs were extracted from 5 cell lines (parental cells: Neuro2A, empty vector: Neuro2A transfected with empty vector, EGFP KD: Neuro2A transfected with vector for EGFP knock down, KDM7 KD1: Neuro2A transfected with vector 1 for KDM7 knock down, and KDM7 KD2: Neuro2A transfected with vector 2 for KDM7 knock down) and analyzed for gene expression profiles using Affymetrix platform.
Project description:Orthotopic tumors were previously generated from parental Prostate Luminal (PLum) cells under androgen‑dependent (PLum-AD) and androgen‑independent (PLum-AI) conditions in order to establish cellular models of prostate cancer progression (Abou-Kheir et al., 2011; doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0026112). We used microarrays to evaluate the differential gene expression profiles underlying progression of prostate cancer from primary androgen-dependent stage to advanced androgen-independent stage using newly isolated murine prostate cancer cell lines. Those cell lines represent novel in vitro models of androgen‑dependent and –independent prostate cancer, recapitulating the progression of the disease to a more invasive phenotype upon androgen deprivation.

Project description:The molecular function of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) and the mechanism by which it may contribute to neurotoxicity in prion diseases and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are only partially understood. Mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2a cells and, more recently, C2C12 myocytes and myotubes have emerged as popular models for investigating the cellular biology of PrP. Mouse epithelial NMuMG cells might become attractive models for studying the possible involvement of PrP in a morphogenetic program underlying epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions. Here we describe the generation of PrP knockout clones from these cell lines using CRISPR-Cas9 knockout technology. More specifically, knockout clones were generated with two separate gRNAs targeting recognition sites on opposite strands within the first hundred nucleotides of the Prnp coding sequence. Several PrP knockout clones were isolated and genomic insertions and deletions near the CRISPR-target sites were characterized. Subsequently, deep quantitative global proteome analyses that recorded the relative abundance of > 3000 proteins were undertaken to begin to characterize the molecular consequences of PrP deficiency. The levels of ~120 proteins were shown to reproducibly correlate with the presence or absence of PrP, with most of these proteins as belonging to extracellular components, cell junctions or the cytoskeleton.

Project description:Identification of neuronal NMD targets in mouse Neuro2A neuroblastoma cells
Project description:Pyrethroids are one of the most commonly used classes of synthetic pesticides detected from all individuals in every part of the world; however, the mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity of pyrethroids were still remain unclear. To understand neurotoxic mechanisms of DM, we investigated transcriptome changes by exposure to a pyrethroid pesticide deltamethrin (DM) in the mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2a cell.
Project description:To investigate a role of mKIAA genes in early stage of neurite outgrowth, in vitro time course experiment was performed using the mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2A cells and all-trans-retinoic acid. Six time points of 8 biological replicates were performed.These data were normalized by median intensities and subtracted background intensities. NOTE: Outlier involved several data were not deposited. Keywords: time-course
Project description:This study aimed to identify bovine conceptus-induced modifications to the endometrial transcriptome both dependent and independent of interferon tau (IFNT), dependent on conceptus origin [in vitro fertilization (IVF) or artifical insemination (AI) derived blastocysts] and dependent on conceptus sex. Major findings include identification of genes differentially expressed in endometrium in response to the conceptus but independent of IFNT and genes differentially expressed in endometrium in response to AI vs. IVF and male vs. female conceptuses.
