View SamplesLow-grade serous ovarian carcinomas are typically Ras-pathway mutated, TP53 wild-type, have limited chromosomal aberration, and are frequently associated with borderline tumors. By contrast, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma lack Ras-pathway mutations, are invariably TP53 mutated, show widespread genomic change, and are commonly BRCA-pathway disrupted. We sought to identify differentially expressed genes between co-existing borderline and invasive components of serous carcinoma.

View SamplesYeast filamentous growth is a stress response to conditions of nitrogen deprivation, wherein yeast colonies form pseudohyphal filaments of elongated and connected cells. As proteins mediating adhesion and transport are required for this growth transition, the protein complement at the yeast cell periphery plays a critical and tightly regulated role in enabling pseudohyphal filamentation. To identify proteins differentially abundant at the yeast cell periphery during pseudohyphal growth, we generated quantitative proteomic profiles of plasma membrane protein preparations under conditions of vegetative growth and filamentation. By iTRAQ chemistry and two-dimensional LC-MS/MS, we profiled 2,463 peptides and 356 proteins, from which we identified eleven differentially abundant proteins that localize to the yeast cell periphery. This protein set includes Ylr414cp, herein renamed Pun1p, a previously uncharacterized protein localized to the plasma membrane compartment of Can1 (MCC). Pun1p abundance is increased two-fold under conditions of nitrogen stress, and deletion of PUN1 abolishes filamentous growth in haploids and diploids; pun1D mutants are non-invasive, lack surface-spread filamentation, grow slowly, and exhibit impaired cell adhesion. Conversely, overexpression of PUN1 results in exaggerated cell elongation under conditions of nitrogen stress. PUN1 contributes to yeast nitrogen signaling, as pun1D mutants misregulate amino acid biosynthetic genes during nitrogen deprivation. By chromatin immunoprecipitation and RT-PCR, we find that the filamentous growth factor Mss11p directly binds to the PUN1 promoter and regulates its transcription. In total, this study provides the first profile of protein abundance during pseudohyphal growth, identifying a previously uncharacterized MCC protein required for wild-type nitrogen signaling and filamentous growth.

View SamplesTo dissect the functions of syndecan-1 in the nucleus, and separate them from functions related to the cell-surface, we transfected fibrosarcoma cells with two constructs: one encoding the full-length syndecan-1, which translocates to the nucleus and another encoding syndecan-1 lacking the RMKKK nuclear localization signal with hampered nuclear translocation.

View SamplesWe aimed to investigate the function of syndecan-1 in tumor cell adhesion and migration, with special focus on the importance of its distinct protein domains, to better understand the structure-function relationship of syndecan-1 in tumor progression. We utilized two mesenchymal tumor cell lines which were transfected to stably overexpress full-length syndecan-1 or truncated variants: the 78 which lacks the extracellular domain except the DRKE sequence proposed to be essential for oligomerization, the 77 which lacks the whole extracellular domain, and the RMKKK which serves as a nuclear localization signal. Various bioassays for cell adhesion, chemotaxis, random movement and wound healing were studied. Furthermore we performed gene microarray to analyze the global gene expression pattern influenced by syndecan-1.
