Project description:Purpose: To study the alteration of whole transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells after the decreasing of malignant properties of tumor by treatment of tumor-bearing mice with RNase A. Methods: Whole transcriptome profile of Lewis lung carcinoma before and after RNase A treatment were generated by deep sequencing using SOLiD 5.5. The sequence reads were mapped by Bioscope 1.3 software, differential expression was evaluated by Cufflinks v.2.0.1 package. Results: Difference in expression was found for 966 genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of alteration of transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma after the decrease of malignant prtoperties of the tumor (proliferation and invasion) by RNase A.

Project description:We observed the effects of TDAG8-overexpression in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells on the gene expression pattern. TDAG8-overexpressing or vector-transfected control LLC cells (5 × e5 in 200 µL of HBSS) were injected into the lateral tail veins of 6–8-week-old C57BL/6 mice. Lungs were removed on day 19 post-injection, and total RNA was extracted.
Project description:Exercise has been correlated with retardation of tumor initiation and progression. However, it is unclear what are the molecular mechanisms behind this beneficial effect of exercise. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from biopsies of Lewis lung carcinoma tumors in a total of 16 mice, 8 with access to running wheel and 8 without (controls).
Project description:Mastic oil from Pistacia lentiscus variation chia, a blend of bioactive terpenes with recognized medicinal properties, has been recently shown to exert anti-tumor activity. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells are mastic oil-susceptible cells and were used in this work to study the effects of mastic oil at the transcriptomic level.
Project description:We previously identified an extracellular pH-sensing G protein-coupled receptor T cell death associated gene 8 (TDAG8) as an extracellular pH sensor of tumor cells that promotes cell growth/survival in vitro and tumor development in vivo. To determine genes regulated by TDAG8 in vitro, mouse Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells stably expressing TDAG8 (TDAG8-LLC cells) and control vector (control LLC cells) were cultured under acidic conditions. Transcriptome microarray analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays was performed with total RNA prepared from these cells. To determine genes regulated by TDAG8 in vitro, mouse Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells stably expressing TDAG8 (TDAG8-LLC cells) and control vector (control LLC cells) were cultured under acidic conditions. Transcriptome microarray analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays was performed with a mixture of equal amounts of total RNA samples from four independent cell cultures.
Project description:Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a crucial factor in reprogramming the tumor microenvironment following radiotherapy. The mechanisms underlying this process remain to be elucidated. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the effects of hypofractionated radiotherapy on macrophages dynamics in a subcutaneous Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) murine model.
Project description:Radiotherapy is one of the most common therapies for cancer. Approximately half of all cancer patients will receive radiotherapy at some point during treatment. Consequences of IR treatment are dose dependent and different sensitivity to IR of various types of cells is well established. To reduce the damage of IR to most sensitive cells of normal (noncancerous) tissue radiotherapy is administered as fractionated dose treatment applying radiation in ~2 Gy fractions every 24 hours, 5 times per week. However, during the therapy intrinsic and acquired tumor radioresistance may result in treatment failures. Comprehensive mechanisms of the resistance to irradiation as well as mechanisms of cellular response to fractionated dose IR remain unclear. Therefore, in the present study we evaluated global gene expression changes in murine Lewis lung carcinoma LLC1 cells following X-ray irradiation of single 2 Gy or 10 Gy and 2 Gy x 5 fractionated doses. Total RNA was harvested from mouse Lewis lung carcinoma cells 4h after treatment of single (2 Gy or 10 Gy) or fractionated (5x2 Gy) ionizing radiation dose.
Project description:Exercise has been correlated with prevention of weight loss (cachexia) attributed to tumor initiation and progression. However, it is unclear what are the molecular mechanisms behind this beneficial effect of exercise to prevent cachexia. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from biopsies of muscle in 24 mice with Lewis lung carcinoma that reached 1 cm3 volume, 14 with access to running wheel and 10 without (controls).
