Project description:Given that TREX1-deficient tumor cells showed a growth delay in immunocompetent but not immunodeficient hosts, we characterize the consequences of CT26 tumor-intrinsic TREX1 loss on the host immune system by performing single-cell RNA sequencing on intra-tumoral immune cells sorted from control and TREX1 KO CT26 tumors.
Project description:Cdk10 knockout significantly reduced CT26 tumor growth in immunocompetent BALB/c WT mice. To investigate how Cdk10 influences the tumor immune microenvironment in vivo, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on WT and Cdk10 KO CT26 tumors derived from immunocompetent BALB/c mice.
Project description:Cdk10 knockout significantly reduced CT26 tumor growth in immunocompetent BALB/c WT mice.To elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which Cdk10 suppresses anti-tumor immunity, we conducted transcriptomic analyses on WT and Cdk10 KO CT26 cells
Project description:Although membrane-anchored Pd-l1 has been well-studied for its engagement with PD-1 on T cells to evade anti-tumor immunity, whether Pd-l1 regulate oncogenic signaling pathways in tumor cells remains elusive. In this experiment, to further dissect roles of the K262 residue acetylation for Pd-l1 nuclear function, we profiled RNA expression of WT or K262Q mutant mouse Pd-l1 re-expressed in CT26 KO Pd-l1 cells. Methods: Total RNA fromCT26/Vector, CT26/WT or CT26 Pd-l1 KO cells was purified using Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Library preparation and sequenceing analysis were performed by BGI-Hong Kong Co. Ltd. Conclusions: Our study indicates that Pd-l1 acetylation modification may affect its function in nuclear.
Project description:To investigate the role of TGF-M-NM-21-regulated miRNAs in the progression of colorectal cancer,we performed comprehensive miRMA microarray analysis on RNA derived from CT26 cell lines and TGF-M-NM-21 knock-down CT26 cell lines. We identified a novel set of TGF-M-NM-21-related miRNAs. Total RNA was isolated from TGF-M-NM-21-knock down CT26 cell lines and controls.Three-condition experiment: Locked nucleic acid microarray analyses to obtain miRNA expression profiles independently in TGFM-NM-21-knocked down CT26 and control cell line at three different time (24hours, 48hours and 72hours).Biological replicates: 1 CT26 cells stably transfected with shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21- pSUPER gfp-neo for 24hours, 1 CT26 cells stably transfected with shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21- pSUPER gfp-neo for 48hours, 1 CT26 cells stably transfected with shRNA-TGF-M-NM-21- pSUPER gfp-neo for 72hours, 1 CT26 cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control- pSUPER gfp-neo for 24hours, 1 CT26 cells stably transfected with shRNA- Control- pSUPER gfp-neo for 48hours, 1 CT26 cells stably transfected with shRNA-Control- pSUPER gfp-neo for 72hours, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:Although membrane-anchored PD-L1 has been well-studied for its engagement with PD-1 on T cells to evade anti-tumor immunity, whether PD-L1 regulate oncogenic signaling pathways in tumor cells remains elusive. Methods: Total RNA from MDA-MB-231 wild type (WT) , MDA-MB-231 PD-L1 knock-out (KO), CT26 WT or CT26 Pd-l1 KO cells was purified using Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Library preparation and sequenceing analysis were performed at the Molecular Genetics Core facility in Dana-Farber Cancer institute. RNA-seq data was aligned using STAR v2.5.4a. Conclusions: Our study indicates that PD-L1 may regulate genes that are involved in immune response regulating pathways.
