Project description:To explore the functon of IRX1 in gastric cancer, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify gene expression changes in three samples. We constructed the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-IRX1. The pEGFP-IRX1 expression vector was transfected into SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells by Lipofectamine 2000. The IRX1 protein was mainly observed in nuclei. Naive SGC7901 and empty vector pEGFP-N1 transfected cells were used as controls.

Gene expression profiles were compared between parental gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 and cells transfected with pEGFP-IRX1 and pEGFP-N1.

Project description:Polymorphisms in pre-miRNAs may affect its expression, then having effect on its target mRNAs and be associated with cancer susceptibility. In the current study, we evaluated the association of a 3-base pair (3-bp) indel polymorphism (rs57408770) in pre-miR-3131 with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility in a Chinese population. Logistic regression analysis showed that the insertion allele of rs57408770 was significantly associated with an increased risk for HCC occurrence in both case-control studies. To further investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the correlation between rs57408770 and the risk of HCC, overexpression of pre-miR-3131 in HCC cell line was performed. Human HCC cell lines Sk-Hep-1 was obtained from Shanghai Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences on 9 December 2013.The fragment of 366bp including the insert allele of rs57408770 in pre-miR-3131 was directly synthesized and cloned into BamHI and EcoRI sites of pEGFP-N1 yielding the wild-type vector (pEGFP-N1-miR3131-WT). The mutant-type vector (pEGFP-N1-miR3131-MT) including the delete allele of rs57408770 was generated using QuikChange Lightening Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit. The resulting constructs were verified by direct sequencing. For overexpression experiments, cells were cultured in 6-well plates at a density of 200 000 cells per well the day before transfection. 2.5μg plasmids of empty vector pEGFP-N1, pEGFP-N1-miR3131-WT or pEGFP-N1-miR3131-MT were transfected into the growing cells (about 80%-90% confluent) using Lipofectamine2000. After 24 hours of the transfection, the cells were collected for subsequent experiments.And human genome-wide gene expression profile assay was used to screen the targets of miR-3131. For overexpression experiments, cells were cultured in 6-well plates at a density of 200 000 cells per well the day before transfection. 2.5μg plasmids of empty vector pEGFP-N1, pEGFP-N1-miR3131-WT or pEGFP-N1-miR3131-MT were transfected into the growing cells (about 80%-90% confluent) using Lipofectamine2000 (Invitrogen). After 24 hours of the transfection, the cells were collected for subsequent experiments. There are 3 samples in this experiment.

Project description:In order to evaluate the effects of RIZ2 overexpression on gene expression, a pilot expression study was performed through microarrays analysis. We compared the differential gene expression between HEK-293 cells overexpressing human RIZ2 (pEGFP-hRIZ2) and rat RIZ1 (pEGFP-rRIZ1) versus control cells transfected with the E-GFP empty vector alone (pEGFP).
Project description:ELMOD2 cDNA from the IMAGE clone 3897166 was cloned into the pDsRed-Monomer-N1 expression vector. ELMOD2 was overexpressed in the A549(adenomcarcinoma)cell line and cells transfected with empty vector were considered controls. Transcript profiles were compared with the Affymetrix Hgu133plus2 arrays. Three biological replicates of each condition were included.
