Project description:Analysis of SW480 cells following knockdown of Ezrin using RNAi. Ezrin is a protein that regulate the organization of cytoskeleton. Ezrin KD SW480 was used to study the role of ezrin in colon cancer. Experiment Overall Design: Knockdown ezrin in SW480 cells and investigate the affection on cell migration and the downstream genes.
Project description:Purpose: RhoB regulates cell functions, such as vesicular transport, apoptosis, autophagy, DNA repair, angiogenesis, proliferation, migration and invasion. We investigated whether RhoB is involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC).We performed RNA sequencing analysis in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from RhoB-deficient mice and WT mice to study the molecular mechanisms through which RhoB regulates goblet cell numbers and epithelial regeneration and confirmed findings in colonic organoids from RhoB-deficient mice and WT mice and siRhoB transfected SW480 cells.
Project description:The T lymphoma invasion and metastasis inducing protein 1 (TIAM1) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates the small GTPase RAC1 and regulates a plethora of functions such as cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and polarity. Recently, we demonstrated that TIAM1 shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Nuclear TIAM1 has an inhibitory role on TAZ transcriptional activity by impairing the interaction of TAZ with TEAD. To further demonstrate the inhibitory role of TIAM1 on TAZ we performed ChIP-Seq analysis to determine the enrichment of TAZ to chromatin of parental or CRISPR-mediated TIAM1 knockout SW480 cells.

Project description:Knock-down or overexpression of WTAP regulated migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells in vivo and vitro studies. To investigate the underlying mechanism for WTAP-regulated migration and invasion, the gene expression between the mock cells and the stable cells was compared Total RNA was purified from the mock cells and the stable cells overexpressing WTAP
Project description:Knock-down or overexpression of LAP2beta regulated migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells in vivo and in vitro studies. To investigate the underlying mechanism for LAP2beta-regulated migration and invasion, we compared the gene expression changes between the mock cells and the stable cells. Total RNA was purified from the mock cells and the stable cells overexpressing LAP2beta
Project description:SW480 cells overexpressing BOP1, CKS2 or NFIL3 migrated more actively compared to Control cells. Migration induced by BOP1, CKS2 or NFIL3 was repressed by interfering with distinct signaling systems using small- molecular-weight inhibitors, i.e., interference with PI3K, JNK and Notch in the case of BOP1, with PI3K and p38 MAPK in the case of CKS2, as well as with PI3K, p38 and mTOR in the case of NFIL3. Gene expression profilings suggest that BOP1, CKS2 and NFIL3 overexpression are associated functionally with a series of migration-related genes, which can be repressed transcriptionally by specific pathway inhibitors. SW480 stable cells were grown in DMEM, 10% FCS, and treated for 24 hr with the following inhibitors or with solvent (DMSO): SW480_Control with DMSO; SW480_BOP1 with DMSO, LY294002 (3.3 uM), SP600125 (33.3 nM) and DAPT (667 nM); SW480_CKS2 with DMSO, LY294002 (3.3 uM) and SB203580 (3.3 uM); SW480_NFIL3 with DMSO, LY294002 (3.3 uM), SB203580 (3.3 uM) and Rapamycin (33.3 nM).
Project description:MiR-10a inhibits colon cancer invasion and metastasis. To search the candidate target genes of miR-10a, SW480 cells were transfected with miR-10a blockage to suppress miR-10a activity and the differentially expressed genes were detected by cDNA microarray analysis. Some of the up-regulated genes may be candidate target genes of miR-10a.
