Project description:To determine if RU-486 would be effective as a chemopreventive agent, microarrays were used to analyse global gene expression changes in wild-type vs. MMTV-PAX8PPARg mice to determine their differential response to RU486 RNA was isolated (RNeasy Mini Kit, Qiagen) from progestin/DMBA induced mammary tumors from wi transgenic and wild-type mice treated with placebo or 2.5mg RU486 60-day release pellets
Project description:MMTV-PyVT Mammary tumors were harvested from PyVT-wild-type (WT), PyVT-Nr4a1 knockout (KO) littermates on a congenic FVB/NJ background,minced and incubated with collagenase type I digestion solution .The digested Mammary tumor cells were collected and maintained in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS for 24 hour.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of miRNA levels in mammary tumors from 18 [PyMT x AKXD]F1 sublines. The PyMT strain was FVB/N-TgN(MMTV-PyVT)634Mul.
Project description:Comparison the gene expression profiles of mouse mammary tumors derived from MMTV-PyMT transgenic in five different strains including FVB/NJ, I/LnJ F1, NZB/B1NJ F1, MOLF/Ei F1 and LP/J F1 and identification of signatures of tumor virulence. **NOTE: Migrated from caArray 1.x, identifier='gov.nih.nci.ncicb.caarray:Experiment:1015897560599049:1' green-00155 Assay Type: Gene Expression Provider: Affymetrix Array Designs: mg_u74av2 Organism: Mus musculus (ncbitax) Material Types: organism_part, synthetic_RNA, whole_organism, total_RNA Disease States: Mouse mammary tumor
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that typically inhibit the translation and stability of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), controlling genes involved in a variety of cellular processes. miRNA dysregulation is recognized to play an essential role in the development and progression of cancer. MMTV-PyMT mice (Jax Strain: FVB/N-Tg(MMTV-PyVT)634Mul/J) are a well-characterized transgenic mouse model of breast cancer. Upon activation of the MMTV-PyVT transgene (mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) long terminal repeat upstream of a cDNA sequence encoding the Polyoma Virus middle T antigen (PyVT)) female carriers develop palpable mammary tumors as early as 5 weeks of age. We performed miRNA microarrays on samples from the MMTV-PyMT transgenic mouse model to investigate the differential expression of miRNAs during development of malignant disease in this model.
