View Samples2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2) induces mammary gland differentiation through amphiregulin-EGFR mediated signaling: molecular distinctions from the mammary gland of pregnant mice.High levels of 2ME2 are observed in the late stages of pregnancy. We investigated the role of 2ME2 on normal mammary gland development. Large scale gene expression assays were performed using Affymetrix GeneChips in pursuit of detailed molecular basis. (1) Mammary glands of wild type FVB mice administered 75 or 150 mg/kg of 2ME2 (2) Mammary glands of normal FVB/Nj mice (i) at day 16 of pregnancy, (ii) day 2 of lactation (iii) day 30 of post-lactation, and (3) mammary epithelial SCp2 cells after 6, 24 and 48 hours of 10 micromol 2ME2 treatment were examined. In vivo studies revealed that 2ME2 treatment up regulates the expression of amphiregulin. The clue to the role of 2ME2 in differentiation comes from studies in vitro which detected down regulation of inhibitor of differentiation (Id-1) gene and consequent up regulation of amphiregulin. The differentiation of E2 negative SCp2 cells by 2ME2 indicate estradiol independent mechanism. For details, please see our paper in Endocrinology 2006.

View SamplesMonocytes are derived from hematopoietic stem cells through a series of intermediate progenitor stages, but the factors that regulate this process are incompletely defined. Using a Ccr2/Cx3cr1 dual-reporter system to model murine monocyte ontogeny, we conducted a small molecule screen that identified an essential role of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in the development of monocytes and other myeloid cells. Overall design: Examination of gene expression in 1) Granulocyte-Monocyte Progenitors from Raptor KO mice, Tsc2 KO mice and controls; and 2) DR-ER-Hoxb8 cells differentiated in the presence of DMSO, rapamycin or SL0101-01

View Samplessmall RNA profiles of 6 human tonsillar B cell populatios (naive B cells, pre-germinal center B cells, centrocytes, centroblasts, memory B cells, and plasma cells) were determined by deep sequencing. These samples were compared to mouse developing lymphocytes, various hematopoietic cell lineages, and tissues. Overall design: small RNA expression profiles of 6 well defined B cell populations isolated from human tonsils.

View SamplesAnalysis of the response to arginine of the Escherichia coli K-12 transcriptome by microarray hybridization and real-time quantitative PCR provides a first coherent quantitative picture of the ArgR-mediated repression of arginine biosynthesis and uptake genes. Transcriptional repression was shown to be the major control mechanism of the biosynthetic genes, leaving only limited room for additional transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulations. The art genes coding for the specific arginine uptake system are subject to ArgR-mediated repression,

View SamplesIn the past three years the role of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in tumour promotion and progression has been intensively studied. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 are commonly expressed in malignant cells from primary tumours, metastases and also in malignant cell lines. To investigate the biological significance of this receptor/ligand pair, we knocked-down CXCR4 expression in ovarian cancer cell line IGROV-1 using shRNA, and established stable cell lines.

View SamplesWe present evidence for an autocrine cytokine network in human ovarian cancer that has paracrine actions on the tumour microenvironment. In experiments using bioinformatics analysis of large gene expression array datasets and ovarian cancer biopsies, we found that the inflammatory cytokines TNF- and IL-6, the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12, are co-regulated in malignant cells. We named this co-regulation the TNF network.
