Project description:Primary human gastric cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) cultures (CAF14 and CAF32) were establised from 2 gastrectomy specimens. Silencing the expression (loss-of-function effect) of Twist1 in CAFs showed candidate target genes regulated by Twist1 and abrogated their tumor-promoting properties. Experiment design: two gastric CAFs (CAF14 adn CAF32, respectively) were establised from two gastric cancer patients and Twist1 knockdown studies were performed using shRNA.

Project description:Primary human gastric normal fibroblast cultures (NL14 and NL32, repectivley) were establised from 2 gastrectomy specimens. Enforced expression (gain-of-function effect) of Twist1 in 2 gastric normal fibroblasts (NL14 and NL32) showed candidate target genes and CAF markers upregulated by Twist1. Experiment design: 2 normal gastric fibroblasts (NL14 and NL32) were establised and studied for Twist1 gain-of-function.
