Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying altered-FGFR3 oncogenic activity in bladder carcinomas, we made use of MGH-U3 cell lines, which were derived from a human bladder tumor and endogenously expressed a mutated activated form of FGFR3 (FGFR3-Y375C), the growth and transformation of these cell lines being dependent on activated-FGFR3 activity. We conducted a gene expression analysis using Affymetrix DNA arrays in this cell line treated or not with FGFR3 siRNAs.
Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying TYRO3 oncogenic activity in bladder carcinomas, we made use of MGH-U3, RT112 and UM-UC-5 cell lines, which were derived from a human bladder tumor and endogenously expressed the Tyro3 protein, the growth and transformation of these cell lines being dependent on Tyro3. We carried out a gene expression analysis using Affymetrix DNA arrays in this cell line treated or not withTYRO3 siRNAs.
Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying altered-FGFR3 oncogenic activity in bladder carcinomas, we made use of UMUC-14 cell lines, which endogenously expressed a mutated activated form of FGFR3 (FGFR3-S249C), the growth and transformation of these cell lines being dependent on activated-FGFR3 activity. We conducted a gene expression analysis using Affymetrix DNA arrays in this cell line treated or not with FGFR3 siRNAs.
Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying altered-FGFR3 oncogenic activity in bladder carcinomas, we made use of RT112 cell lines, which were derived from a human bladder tumor and endogenously expressed the FGFR3-TACC3 fusion protein, the growth and transformation of these cell lines being dependent on activated-FGFR3 activity. We conducted a gene expression analysis using Affymetrix DNA arrays in this cell line treated or not with FGFR3 siRNAs.
Project description:Ars2 is a component of the nuclear cap-binding complex that is required for cellular proliferation and contributes to microRNA biogenesis. Arrays were performed to determine the repertoire of genes that change following knock-down of Ars2. Knock-down of DGCR8 was also performed to determine which changes in Ars2 knock-down cells resulted from defects in microRNA expression. 9 samples were analyzed including: three biological replicates of control siRNA-transfected HeLa cells, HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting Ars2, or HeLa cells transfected with three independent siRNAs targeting DGCR8.
