View SamplesGlioblastomas grow in a rich neurochemical mileu, but targeting neurochemical signaling as a potential therapeutic avenue for these incurable tumors has been underexplored. Thus, we probed patient derived glioblastoma stem cells with a focused library of neurochemicals, to identify new therapeutic targets. Dopaminergic, serotonergic and cholinergic pathways were found to be active against glioblastoma. In particular, dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) antagonists selectively inhibited glioblastoma growth in vitro and in vivo, in addition to showing synergistic effect with temozolomide. Small molecule or genetic antagonism of DRD4 suppressed ERK1/2 signaling and impaired autophagic flux causing accumulation of autophagic vacuoles and ubiquitinated proteins, associated with G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. These data suggest a new mechanism for treating glioblastoma through modulating dopamine DRD4 signaling.

View SamplesSUFU alterations are commonly detected in human SHH subgroup of medulloblastoma. Here we profile the gene expression of P13 wildtype and Sufu KO cerebellum, as well as Ptch1 KO MB in biological triplicate.

View SamplesOnly a minority of medulloblastoma cells can self-renew and sustain tumor growth. In the Patched1+/- mouse model, these cells are quiescent and express the stem cell marker Sox2. We sought to define the gene expression profiling of these cells to gain insight into the molecular pathways that govern this population.

View SamplesPrimary glioblastoma (GBM) cultures vary with respect to differentiation competency. We sought to identify putative transcription factors necessary for the differentiation of GBM cultures. In this dataset, we include expression data obtained from 2 human-fetal neural stem cell (HF-NS) cultures and 2 GBM stem cell (GSC) cultures. We assessed changes in gene expression from 3 timepoints during an in vitro differentiation protocol.

View SamplesThese experiments were designed as a benchmark tool for deconvolution methods. 5 immune cell populations were sorted from 3 healthy donors' peripheral bloods. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBCMs) and PolymorphoNuclear Cells (PMN) were separated using gradient centrifugation. T cells (DAPI-/CD3+/CD14-/CD19-/CD56-), monocytes (DAPI-/CD3-/CD14+/CD19-/CD56-), B cells (DAPI-/CD3-/CD14-/CD19+/CD56-) and NK cells (DAPI-/CD3-/CD14-/CD19-/CD56+) were FACS-sorted from PBMCs and neutrophils (DAPI-/CD66b+/CD19-/CD3-/CD56-/CD14-) were sorted from PMNs. RNA was extracted from the purified cell population, as well as from the HCT116 colon cancer cell line. RNAs from pure populations were then mixed in various proportions.

View SamplesKnockdowns of c-JUN and JUND had opposite effects on PC3 prostate cell migration. We predicted that c-JUN and JUND control the same set of cell migration genes, but in opposite directions. To test this hypothesis, mRNA with expression changes in c-JUN and JUND knockdown PC3 cell lines were compared to mRNA levels in control (luciferase knockdown) PC3 cells by RNA-seq. Overall design: mRNA profiles of luciferase knockdown (WT), c-Jun knockdown, and Jun-D knockdown in PC3 cells were generated using deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq. Knockdowns were stable shRNA expression from a lentiviral construct selected with puromycin.

View SamplesSporadic early onset colorectal carcinoma (EOCRC) is a growing problem that remains poorly understood. Clinical specificities and mechanisms of tumorigenesis might be relevant to both diagnosis and treatment. In this prospective study, clinicopathological features, genomic and gene expression profiles of sporadic EOCRC were compared to other well defined groups of CRC.
