The current understanding of the molecular factors underlying LF2000-mediated transfection is largely unknown. Cationic LF2000 gene delivery system was used to transfer GFP transgene to HEK293T cells. FACS separation of transfected (GFP positive), untransfected (GFP negative), and untreated cells enabled gene expression profiles to be obtained using Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 microarrays for each cell population. Gene profiles were differentially compared for each population combination.

View SamplesCoffinLowry Syndrome (CLS) is a syndromic form of mental retardation caused by loss of function mutations in the X-linked RPS6KA3 gene, which encodes Rsk2, a serine/threonine kinase involved in spatial memory. We analyzed hippocampal gene expression profiles in Rsk2-KO mice to identify changes in molecular pathways.
Transcriptome profile reveals AMPA receptor dysfunction in the hippocampus of the Rsk2-knockout mice, an animal model of Coffin-Lowry syndrome.

View SamplesThe transcription factor STAT3 is constitutively activated in tumors of different origin but the molecular bases for STAT3 addiction of tumor cells have not yet been clearly identified. We generated knock/in mice carrying the constitutively active Stat3 allele, Stat3C, and showed that Stat3C could enhance Neu oncogenic power, triggering the production of earlier onset, more invasive mammary tumors. Tumor-derived cell lines displayed higher migration and invasion and disrupted distribution of cell-cell junction markers. The tensin family member Cten (C-Terminal Tensin-like), known to mediate EGF-induced migration and highly expressed in inflammatory breast cancer, was up-regulated in both Neu;Stat3C cells and tumors. Both Cten expression and enhanced migration were strictly dependent on Stat3, and Cten silencing normalized cell migration and rescued cell-cell contact defects. Importantly, the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 could mediate Cten induction in MCF10 cells, in an exquisitely Stat3-dependent way. This model allowed us to shed some light on the oncogenic role of Stat3 in the breast, suggesting moreover a mechanism through which inflammatory signals can cooperate with EGF receptors in inflammatory breast cancer.
Constitutively active Stat3 enhances neu-mediated migration and metastasis in mammary tumors via upregulation of Cten.

View SamplesThe satellite cell is considered the major tissue-resident stem cell underlying muscle regeneration, however, multiple non-satellite cell myogenic progenitors have been identified. PW1/Peg3 is expressed in satellite cells as well as a subset of interstitial cells with myogenic potential termed PICs (PW1+ Interstitial Cells). PICs differ from satellite cells by their anatomical location (satellite cells are sublaminal and PICs are interstitial), they do not express any myogenic marker and arise from a Pax3-independent lineage. Upon isolation from juvenile muscle (1 to 3 weeks old), PICs are capable to form both skeletal and smooth muscle suggesting they constitute a more plastic population compared to satellite cells. We used microarrays to gain insight into the relantionship between PICs and satellite cells.

Craniofacial and dental anomalies encountered in this rare disease have been poorly characterized.

View SamplesNotch signaling is widely implicated in mouse mammary gland development and tumorigenesis. To investigate the effects of acute activation of Notch signaling in the mammary epithelial compartment, we generated bi-transgenic MMTV-rtTA; TetO-NICD1 (MTB/TICNX) mice that conditionally express a constitutively active NOTCH1 intracellular domain (NICD1) construct in the mammary epithelium upon doxycycline administration.
Notch promotes recurrence of dormant tumor cells following HER2/neu-targeted therapy.
