Project description:Gene expression profiles of ZHBTc4 ES cells expressing EGFP, Oct4-EGFP, Nr5a2-EGFP under CAG promoter. Monoclonal cell lines selected by Puromycin were used for analysis. Each of the cell lines was cultured in doxycycline containing media for endogenous Oct4 knock-down. Pupose of this experiment is to investigate the possibility that forced expression of Nr5a2 can replace Oct4 function in the self-renewal of ES cells. Monoclonal ZHBTc4 ES cells expressing EGFP vs Nr5a2-EGFP, Oct4-EGFP vs Nr5a2-EGFP, no replication

Project description:Maps of genomic regions in proximity to the nuclear lamina were determined in untreated HT1080 fibroblasts and HT1080 stable cell lines expressing NET29/TMEM120A, NET39/PPAPDC3 or NET47/TM7SF2 as GFP fusions
Project description:EGFP (control) and TEADi expressing podocytes were generated by lentivirus transduction to analyze transcriptional signaling by YAP/TAZ-TEAD. Tetracycline-inducible TEADi is a GFP-tagged inhibitor of the interaction of YAP1 and TAZ with TEAD transcription factors. pInducer20 EGFP-TEADi was a gift from Ramiro Iglesias-Bartolome (Addgene plasmid # 140145 ; http://n2t.net/addgene:140145 ; RRID:Addgene_140145). TEADi was previously described: YAP1/TAZ-TEAD transcriptional networks maintain skin homeostasis by regulating cell proliferation and limiting KLF4 activity. Yuan Y., Park J., Feng A., Awasthi P., Wang Z., Chen Q., Iglesias-Bartolome R.. Nat Commun 11, 1472 (2020). 10.1038/s41467-020-15301-0. Transcriptome profiling (RNA-Sequencing) and differential gene expression analysis of 3 independent replicates per genotype was performed. TEADi podocytes exhibit transcriptional changes compared to WT cells including downregulation of prominent YAP target genes like CTGF, CYR61 and ANKRD1.
Project description:RECK, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein, inhibits the enzymatic activities of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), thereby suppressing tumor cell metastasis; however, the detailed mechanism is still obscure. In this study, we compared the gene expression profiles between mock- and RECK-transfected HT1080 cells. Three established cell lines were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays: (1) mock-transfected HT1080 cells, designated as HT1080-Zeo, (2) RECK-overexpressing HT1080 cells, designated as HT1080-RECK, and (3) RECK/4NQ-overexpressing HT1080 cells (in which four N-glycosylation asparagine residues of RECK (Asn86, Asn200, Asn297, and Asn352) were replaced with glutamine residues), designated as HT1080-RECK/4NQ.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cell line after transfection CRABP1 gene and R131A CRABP1 mutant (arginine-alanine substitution in a protein active site, protein lacks the ability to interact with retinoic acid), compared to HT1080 line transfected with empty pLXSN vector. A twelve samples on one chip study using total RNA recovered from four separate cultures of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line transfected with empty pLXSN vector, four HT1080 cell line cultures transfected with CRABP1 gene and four HT1080 cell line cultures transfected with R131A CRABP1 mutant. Each sample on a chip measures the expression level of 44,049 genes from human genome with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:We used genome-wide microarray comparative genomic hybridization to investigate the response of control HT1080 cells and HT1080 cells infected with a lentivirus expressing eGFP, GLI2-eGFP or CCND1-RFP to challenge with methotrexate to address the question if GLI2 overexpression induces genomic instability.
