The current understanding of the molecular factors underlying LF2000-mediated transfection is largely unknown. Cationic LF2000 gene delivery system was used to transfer GFP transgene to HEK293T cells. FACS separation of transfected (GFP positive), untransfected (GFP negative), and untreated cells enabled gene expression profiles to be obtained using Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 microarrays for each cell population. Gene profiles were differentially compared for each population combination.

View SamplesThe molecular basis of breast cancer invasion and metastasis is not well understood. Our objective was to analyze transcriptome differences between stromal and epithelial cells in normal breast tissue and invasive breast cancer to define the role stroma plays in invasion. Total RNA was isolated from epithelial and stromal cells that were laser captured from normal breast tissue (n=5) and invasive breast cancer (n=28). Gene expression was measured using Affymetrix U133A 2.0 GeneChips. Differential gene expression was evaluated and compared within a model that accounted for cell type (epithelial [E] versus stromal [S]), diagnosis (cancer [C] versus normal [N]) as well as cell type-diagnosis interactions. Compared to NE, the CE transcriptome was highly enriched with genes in proliferative, motility and ECM ontologies. Differences in CS and NS transcriptomes suggested that the ECM was being remodeled in invasive breast cancer, as genes were over-represented in ECM and proteolysis ontologies. Genes more highly expressed in CS compared to CE were primarily ECM components or were involved in the remodeling of ECM, suggesting that ECM biosynthesis and remodeling were initiated in the tumor stromal compartment.
Molecular signatures suggest a major role for stromal cells in development of invasive breast cancer.

To identify genes associated with metastasis in this pathology, we studied 63 molecular profiles derived from gene expression microarrays performed from enuceated primary tumors.

View SamplesWnt signaling is intrinsic to mouse embryonic stem cell self-renewal. Therefore it is surprising that reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is not strongly enhanced by Wnt signaling. Here, we demonstrate that active Wnt signaling inhibits the early stage of reprogramming to iPSCs, while it is required and even stimulating during the late stage. Mechanistically, this biphasic effect of Wnt signaling is accompanied by a change in the requirement of all four of its transcriptional effectors: Tcf1, Lef1, Tcf3, and Tcf4. For example, Tcf3 and Tcf4 are stimulatory early but inhibitory late in the reprogramming process. Accordingly, ectopic expression of Tcf3 early in reprogramming combined with its loss-of-function late enables efficient reprogramming in the absence of ectopic Sox2. Together, our data indicate that the step-wise process of reprogramming to iPSCs is critically dependent on the stage-specific control and action of all four Tcfs and Wnt signaling.

View SamplesArgonautes, a family of highly evolutionarily conserved proteins, are the central platform for small RNA-mediated gene regulatory mechanisms which occur mainly in the cytoplasm. To understand a potential role of Argonaute 1 (Ago1) protein in the nucleus of mammalian cells in regulating gene transcription and epigenetics, we performed integrated analyses of Ago1 ChIP-sequencing (GSE40536) and gene expression profiling in cells depleted of Ago1. For gene expression profiling, we knocked down the expression of Ago1 by siRNA in PC-3 cells and compared gene expression profiles in the cells depleted of Ago1 and cells receiving control treatments. We found that Ago1 depletion resulted in more downregulated genes which were enriched in gene responsible for promoting cell cycle progression, DNA replication and repair, and response to endogenous stimuli. Integrated analyses of Ago1-chromosomal interactions and gene expression changes in response to Ago1 depletion reveal a significant correlation between Ago1-bound genes and genes altered by Ago1 depletion. These genes are significantly enriched in cancer-related pathways. Our data suggests a nuclear function of Ago1 in regulating gene transcription.
