We established 3 types of primary xenograft models (KURC;Kyoto University Renal Cancer-1,2,3) derived from human renal cell carcinoma tissues, and 40 mg/day of sunitinib was orally administered.

View SamplesIn human volunteers, we evaluated changes in gene expression profiles, immunological indices, and intestinal microbiota of blood cells in subjects consuming a S.reticulata extract. Thirty healthy Japanese males were split randomly into a group ingesting 240 mg/day of S.reticulata extract -containing tablets for 4 weeks and a control group ingesting placebo tablets. Ingestion of the S.reticulata extract improved T cell proliferation and other immunological indices, and changed intestinal microbiota, increasing Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillales and decreasing Clostridium bacteria. Expression levels of many immuno-relevant genes were altered. We have shown the S.reticulata extract to enhance human immune functions.

View SamplesWe developed a UPPL (Upk3a-CreERT2;p53f/f;Ptenf/f;Rosa26LSL-Luc) mouse model of bladder cancer and compared it with the existing BBN (N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine) mouse model of blader cancer. We cultured UPPL and BBN primary tumor cells as cell lines along with MB49 cancer cell lines and KT immortalized normal urothelial cell lines and implanted them back into mice as cell-line derived tumors. Overall design: RNASeq analysis was performed on 9 UPPL primary tumors, 11 BBN primary tumors, 1 UPPL cell line, 1 BBN cell line, 1 MB49 cell line, 3 KT cell lines, 4 UPPL cell-line derived tumors, 2 BBN cell-line derived tumors, and 4 MB49 cell-line derived tumors
