A number of studies find that metastasis suppressor proteins, including RhoGDI2, may function in part though controlling expression of genes regulating metastasis (reviewed in Smith and Theodorescu, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2009, PMID: 19242414). To uncover systematically gene expression patterns dependent on RhoGDI2 expression, we profiled gene expression in stably transfected control (GFP empty vector) UM-UC-3 bladder carcinoma cells (which have lost endogenous expression of RhoGDI2, as occurs commonly in the progression of bladder cancer PMID: 15173088), as well as stably transfected GFP-tagged RhoGDI2 expressing UM-UC-3 cells.
RhoGDI2 suppresses lung metastasis in mice by reducing tumor versican expression and macrophage infiltration.

View SamplesGiven the heterogeneity of disease evident from study of the presentation, histomorphology, disease course, and molecular lesions of bladder cancer, a cohort of 8 non-muscle invasive and 11 muscle invasive bladder cancers were profiled for gene expression using the Affymetrix HG-U133A platform.

View SamplesLoss of Amylo-alpha-1-6-glucosidase-4-alpha-glucanotransferase (AGL) drives bladder cancer growth. Low AGL expression predicts poor patient outcome. Currently no specific therapeutically tractable targets/pathways exist that could be used to treat patients with low AGL expressing bladder tumors.

View SamplesPurpose: Despite advances in radical surgery and chemotherapy delivery, ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Most of these patients are treated with platinum-based chemotherapies, but there is no biomarker model to guide their responses to these therapeutic agents. We have developed and independently tested our novel multivariate molecular predictors for forecasting patients' responses to individual drugs on a cohort of 58 ovarian cancer patients.

View SamplesQuercetin is a flavonol modifying numerous cell processes with potent antiproliferative effects on cancer cell-lines. The aim of this study was to explore by gene-array analysis the effect of quercetin on cancer-related gene expression in HepG2 cells, followed by verification with RT-PCR and analysis of the expected phenotypic changes (migration, cell cycle, cell proliferation). Quercetin induces significant changes on cell-adhesion related genes, leading to reduced migratory capacity and disorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Several genes related to DNA functions, cellular metabolism and signal-transducer activities were also modified, while an early effect on Gprotein related cascades possibly via protease-activated receptor 2 and phospholipase C-1 was identified. Cyclin-D associated events in G1 and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of cyclin-D1 were also affected, resulting in cell-cycle arrest without activation of apoptosis pathways. In conclusion quercetin (3M) exerts its cellular effects by modifying numerous genes related to mechanisms involved in cancer initiation and promotion.
Quercetin accumulates in nuclear structures and triggers specific gene expression in epithelial cells.

View SamplesWe introduce an in vivo imaging approach that allows us to temporally and spatially resolve the evolution of iNOS and Arginase-positive phagocyte phenotypes in a murine MS model. We show that the polarization of individual phagocytes is established after CNS entry, is dependent on the CNS compartment and can be adapted as inflammatory lesions move from expansion to resolution. Our study thus provides a first real-time analysis of phagocyte specification in the intact CNS. Overall design: Cells were isolated from the Blood and CNS of Arginase-YFP X iNOS-Tomato-Cre mice at clinical onset of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis. CD11b_high, CD45_low microglia cells and CD45_positive, CD115_positive, Ly6c_high monocytes were FACS sorted respectively. Total RNA was extracted from the separated populations.
Mononuclear phagocytes locally specify and adapt their phenotype in a multiple sclerosis model.

View SamplesWe report gene expression data for FACS sorted zebrafish mpeg1:mCherry + and mpx:EGFP + cells collected from whole embryos at 72 hours post fertilization (hpf). We also report gene expression data for the remaining, transgene negative, portion of these embryos. Overall design: ~1,000 mpeg1:mCherry+; mpx:EGFP+ transgenic embryos were homogenized, filtered, and sorted using FACS into PBS, collecting >50,000 cells for each of the three populations: mpeg1:mCherry+, mpx:EGFP+ and double negative (no double positive cells were collected as there was almost no overlap between mCherry and EGFP expression).
