Project description:Gene expression analysis of tumor-specific CD8 T cells encountering a tumor-specific antigen in pre-malignant lesions in the liver at different time points post tumor initiation. The overall goal of this mouse study was to elucidate the molecular program in tumor-specific T cells encountering a tumor-specific antigen in pre-malignant lesions. The study identifies the genes and pathways that are dysregulated in tumor-specific T cells associated with T cell unresponsiveness in tumors. To identify the genes and pathways that are dysregulated in tumor-specific T cells. Gene signatures of the following sample groups were compared: 1. Naïve CD8 T cells; 2. Effector CD8 T cells; 3. Dysfunctional tumor-specific CD8 T cells isolated from pre-malignant lesions 8-12 days after tumor induction. 4. Dysfunctional tumor-specific CD8 T cells isolated from pre-malignant lesions 32-34 days after tumor initiation. The mouse tumor model that was used is an autochthonous, tamoxifen-inducible liver cancer model (ASTxCre-ERT2; AST=Albumin-floxStop-SV40 large T antigen; Cre-ERT2 = TAM-dependent Cre-recombinase) in which the SV40 large T antigen serves as the oncogenic driver and tumor-specific antigen; SV40-I TCR transgenic mice, whose CD8 T cells express a Db-restricted TCR specific for the Tag epitope I were used as source of naïve tumor-specific CD8 T cells (TCRSV40-I) Total RNA was isolated from flow-sorted transgenic CD8 TCRSV40-I T cells from the following sample groups: Naïve, effector, D8-12-pre-malignant lesions, and D32-34 pre-malignant lesions.

Project description:Purpose: To study the alteration of whole transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells after the decreasing of malignant properties of tumor by treatment of tumor-bearing mice with RNase A. Methods: Whole transcriptome profile of Lewis lung carcinoma before and after RNase A treatment were generated by deep sequencing using SOLiD 5.5. The sequence reads were mapped by Bioscope 1.3 software, differential expression was evaluated by Cufflinks v.2.0.1 package. Results: Difference in expression was found for 966 genes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of alteration of transcriptome of Lewis lung carcinoma after the decrease of malignant prtoperties of the tumor (proliferation and invasion) by RNase A.
