Project description:The cell line-derived xenografts and patient derived xenografts have limited use in cancer immunotherapy evaluation because an immune compromised host is required for xenotransplantation. Syngeneic mouse models are derived by transplanting established mouse cell lines or tumor tissues to strain matched mouse hosts, which are better suited to study the interplay between immune and tumor cells. We investigated the differences as well as similarities of a panel of ten mouse syngeneic models to features of human tumors by proteomics, which will provide valuable information to assist experimental biologists in model selection.
Project description:The goal of this scRNA-sequencing experiment is to study the immune modulatory effects after intratumoral injection of mANK-101 complex in a syngeneic mouse tumor model.

Project description:Whole Exome Sequencing of cohorts of Mutant Braf mouse model melanoma DNA and germline DNA. The cohorts are (1) Mutant Braf mouse model melanomas, (2) Mutant Braf mouse model melanomas from UVR exposed mice and (3) Mutant Braf mouse model melanomas from UVR exposed, sunscreen protected mice.
Project description:DHX15 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase involved in pre-mRNA splicing. We have recently reported that DHX15 is a downstream substrate for Akt1, which plays a significant role in vascular biology. Therefore, we aimed to explore the regulatory function of DHX15 over the vasculature, and the endothelial cell biology in different contexts: development, metabolism, ischemia and tumor growth. Methods: Deficient DHX15 mice and zebrafish were generated using transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) and Crispr/cas9 gene edition. Lymphatic functionality was evaluated by lymphangiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Mouse-induced tumor and metastasis model were generated by injection of syngeneic LLC1 tumor cells. DHX15 gene silencing in mouse liver endothelial cells (LEC) was performed by the lentiviral transduction of shRNA (Dharmacon). The changes in the transcriptome and the proteome resulting from the shRNA transduction were investigated by RNAseq and mass spectrometry, respectively. Results: Homozygous DHX15 gene deficiency was lethal in mouse and zebrafish embryos. DHX15-/- zebrafish also showed an undeveloped parachordal line, which leads to the formation of lymphatic structures in the trunk during the development. DHX15+/- mice and zebrafish were viable, although DHX15+/- gene deficiency triggered lower vascular network density and impaired lymphatic function postnatally in mice. Whole transcriptome and proteome analysis of DHX15 silenced LEC revealed differential expression of enzymes involved in the glycolysis and the gluconeogenesis pathways. The functional validation of these results demonstrated an uncoupling of the glycolysis with the oxidation of pyruvate into the mitochondria and lower activity of the Complex I in the mitochondrial membrane, resulting in lower cellular ATP production. Noteworthy, heterozygous DHX15 deficiency partially inhibited primary tumor growth and reduced lung metastasis after injection of syngeneic LLC1 tumor cells, compared to wild-type mice
Project description:Retrograde menstruation is considered a major reason for the development of endometriosis. The syngeneic transplantation mouse model is an endometriosis animal model that is considered to mimic retrograde menstruation. However, it remains poorly understood which genetic signatures of endometriosis are reflected in this model. Here, we employed an in vivo syngeneic mouse endometriosis model and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the ectopic and eutopic tissues using microarray analysis.
