View SamplesTumor cells have an increased need for amino acids. Mammalian cells cannot synthesize essential amino acids; they must obtain these amino acids via specific transporters. Glutamine, though a non-essential amino acid, is critical for tumor cells (glutamine addiction). Entry of amino acids into tumor cells is enhanced by upregulation of specific transporters. If the transporters that are specifically induced in tumor cells are identified, blockade of the induced transporters would constitute a logical strategy for cancer treatment.

View SamplesFrom our previous data, we found that loss of ATAD3A gene expression in breast cancer cells results in loss of cell motility in vitro and metastasis in vivo. To obtain a better understanding of oncogenic pathway of ATAD3A, we have established the stable ATAD3A knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells using lentiviral strategy.
Mitochondrial ATAD3A combines with GRP78 to regulate the WASF3 metastasis-promoting protein.

View SamplesThe effect of SAA1 treatment on global gene expression in THP-1 macrophages was studied. The study determined the gene expression upon wild-type SAA1 treatment, variant SAA1 treatment (p.Gly72Asp) and in untreated THP-1 macrophages. SAA1 treatment of macrophages induces the expression of genes involved in inflammation, angiogenesis, phagocytosis and tissue remodeling which are important in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

View SamplesDuring animal development, signals determine and organize a vast number of complex tissues using a very small number of signal transduction pathways. These developmental signaling pathways determine cell fates through a coordinated transcriptional response that remains poorly understood. The Wnt pathway is involved in a variety of these cellular functions, and its signals are transmitted in part through a -catenin/TCF transcriptional complex. Here we report an in vivo Drosophila assay that we used to distinguish between activation, de-repression and repression of transcriptional responses, separating upstream and downstream pathway activation and canonical/non-canonical Wnt signals in embryos. We find a specific set of genes downstream of both -catenin and TCF with an additional group of genes regulated by Wnt. The non-canonical Wnt4 regulates a separate cohort of genes. We correlate transcriptional changes with phenotypic outcomes of cell differentiation and embryo size, showing our model can be used to characterize developmental signaling compartmentalization in vivo.

View SamplesWhile it has been clearly established that well positioned H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes flank the nucleosome depleted region (NDR) at the transcriptional start site (TSS) of active mammalian genes 1,2, how this chromatin-based information is transmitted through the cell cycle is unknown. We show here that in trophoblast stem (TS) cells, the level of H2A.Z at promoters decreases during S phase coinciding with homotypic (H2A.Z/H2A.Z) nucleosomes flanking the TSS becoming heterotypic (H2A.Z/H2A). Surprisingly, these nucleosomes remain heterotypic at M phase. At the TSS, we identify an unstable heterotypic H2A.Z-containing nucleosome in G1 which, strikingly, is lost following DNA replication. These dynamic changes in H2A.Z at the TSS mirror a global expansion of the NDR at S and M which, unexpectedly, is unrelated to transcriptional activity. Coincident with the loss of H2A.Z at promoters, it is targeted to the centromere when mitosis begins.
