We show that highly metastatic mouse melanoma B16/BL6 cells express less Gal-3 than B16 cells with a lower metastatic potential. We found that overexpression of Gal-3 in melanoma cells in fact suppresses metastasis. In contrast, knocking out Gal-3 expression in cancer cells promoted cell aggregation mediated through interactions with platelets and fibrinogen in vitro, and increased the number of metastatic foci in vivo. Overall design: We search for metastatic related gene in melanoma cells. Cells were removed in culture dish and total RNA was extracted from cells using Rneasy-plus mini kits. We compared the gene expression of B16 cells and B16/BL6 cells.

View SamplesThe balance between self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) maintains hematopoietic homeostasis, failure of which can lead to hematopoietic disorder. HSPC fate is controlled by signals from the bone marrow niche resulting in alteration of the stem cell transcription network. Regnase-1, a member of the CCCH zinc finger protein family possessing RNAse activity, mediates post-transcriptional regulatory activity through degradation of target mRNAs. The precise function of Regnase-1 has been explored in inflammation-related cytokine expression but its function in hematopoiesis has not been elucidated. To clarify the role of Regnase-1 for hematopoiesis, we performed gene expression analysis on sorted HSC from control and Regnase1 null mice. Overall design: Bone marrow cells were obtained from femur of individual eight-week old Vav1-iCre; Reg1flox/flox mice (Reg1?/?, case) and control Reg1flox/flox mice (Reg1flox/flox ,control). RNAseq analyses were performed on HSCs (Lin- ScaI+ cKit+ CD34- Flt3- cells) purified by flow cytometry sorting.
Regnase-1-mediated post-transcriptional regulation is essential for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell homeostasis.

View SamplesAnalysis of the effects of an ectopically expressed human SRY (hSRY) on gene expression in the mouse lung. We hypothesize that aberrant expression of the human SRY gene could affect the development and physiology of transgenic mice. To test this hypothesis we have established a Cre-LoxP transgene activation system, thereby activating and expressing the hSRY transgene at the single-cell embryonic stage. Such transgenic mice were born of similar sizes as non-transgenic littermates, but retard in postnatal growth and all die within two weeks of age. To determine the molecular changes associated with such phenotypes, we have analyzed the transcriptomes of lungs of pups expressing (hSRY-ON) and not-expressing (hSRY-OFF) the hSRY transgene. The results provide important information demonstrating that ectopic expression of hSRY resulted in altered expression patterns of numerous genes associating with the development of respiratory system and pathogenesis of respiratory diseases in the lung.
