Project description:ARHGEF4 expression is associated with t(12;21) acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Our study investigated the substrate specificity of ARHGEF4, a member of the diffuse B-cell lymphoma (DBL) family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), in t(12;21) ALL REH cells. ARHGEF4 was found to activate the small guanine nucleotide binding protein (GTPase) CDC42. In order to determine the function of CDC42 in t(12;21) ALL cells, we performed RNAseq analysis on REH cells treated for 24 hours with DMSO vehicle control in comparison to 25uM ML141, a CDC42 inhibitor.
Project description:STAT3 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) expression is associated with with t(12;21) acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and it is crucial for the survival of the t(12;21) ALL . Our study investigated the STAT3 regulated pathways and discovered a novel STAT3-TP53 axis in B-ALL. In order to determine the STAT3 regulated pathways in t(12;21) ALL cells, we performed RNAseq analysis on the Pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cell line REH following shRNA-mediated STAT3 knockdown
Project description:To define short and long-term changes in the phospho-proteome of the cells following Rho-kinase inhibition with H1152 inhibitor, in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells.

Project description:Treg cells play an important role in immune tolerance and tumor immune evasion through suppression of effector T cells. Treg cell lineage instability may be harnessed to trigger anti-tumor T cell immunity. However, the mechanism underlying Treg cell stability remains poorly understand. By characterizing Treg cell-specific heterozygous and homozygous Cdc42 knockout mice, we found that Cdc42 is essential for Treg cell stability. By RNA sequencing of heterozygous and homozygous Cdc42 knockout Treg cells, we found that Cdc42 maintains Treg cell stability through suppression of carbonic anhydrase I (CAI) expression.
Project description:Molecular responses to MEK inhibition in cancer cells are complex and dynamic. We performed a time-series experiment to measure global RNA expression changes following treatment with the MEK inihibor U0126
