Cancer exosomes perform cell-independent microRNA biogenesis and promote tumorigenesis.
Specimen part, Cell line
View SamplesIn this study Panc-1 cells and BxPC-3 cells were cultured. The cells were harvested (untreated control 'cont') for RNA extraction, or treated for 3 hours with various exosomes preparations. The exosomes were collected from BJ human foreskin fibroblast culture supernatant without further processing (control exosomes or 'CE'), or engineered to contain scrambled siRNA ('scr') or KRASG12D siRNA ('iExo). Two or three distinct wells of cells were evaluated per treatment condition and assigned a well number (well -1, -2 or 3).
Generation and testing of clinical-grade exosomes for pancreatic cancer.
Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesAnalysis of the gene expression level of 4T1 orthotopic tumors in mice with and without pericyte depletion.
Targeting vascular pericytes in hypoxic tumors increases lung metastasis via angiopoietin-2.
Specimen part, Treatment
View SamplesWe FACS sorted Ras-transformed human mammary epithelial cells (HMLER cells) into GD2+ and GD2- as well as CD44high/CD24low and CD44low/Cd24highcells and comapred the four different population by array.
Ganglioside GD2 identifies breast cancer stem cells and promotes tumorigenesis.
Cell line
View SamplesGenetically engineered mice developed spontaneous pancreas cancer (Pdx-Cre;LSL-KRASG12D;P53Mut). Mice were also engineered to develop similar spontaneous pancreas cancer without Twist or Snail (conditional gene knockout). The pancreas tumors were harvested and analysed for gene expression profiles comparisons.
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is dispensable for metastasis but induces chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer.
