Project description:The experiment intends to reveal the difference in gene expression profiles between the wild-type strain and the ∆cwp66 mutant of Clostridioides difficile. We first constructed the ∆cwp66 mutant, and the phenotypic changes of the ∆cwp66 mutant against the wild-type strain were studied. To further elucidate the mechanism of phenotypic changes of the ∆cwp66 mutant, RNA-sequencing experiments were carried out to reveal the underlying mechanism of phenotypic changes.
Project description:LM2-4175 cell line was originally selected from MDA-MB-231,but has more aggressive characteristics in invasion, migration and metastasis. In addition, LM2 cell line specifically metastasizes to lung. To understand the regulatory mechanisms of lung metastasis in breast cancer, we analyzed the chromatin structure of MDA-MB-231 and LM2-4175 cell lines.
Project description:Clostridioides difficile interactions with the gut mucosa are crucial for colonisation and establishment of infection, however key infection events during the establishment of disease are still poorly defined. To better understand the initial events that occur during C. difficile colonisation, we employed a dual RNA-sequencing approach to study the host and bacterial transcriptomic profiles during C. difficile infection in a dual-environment in vitro human gut model. Temporal changes in gene expression were analysed over 3-24h post infection and comparisons were made with uninfected controls.
Project description:the LM2 breast cancer cell line is an in vivo derived line from the MDA-MB-231 parental line. this LM2 line has been transduced either with a short hairpin control or miR-335 expression vector. Keywords: breast cancer, metastasis, miRNA
Project description:We performed whole-genome stability measurements for MDA-MB-231 and its highly metastatic derivative MDA-LM2. Our goal was to identify post-transcriptonal regulons that are deregulated en route to higher metastatic capacity.
