The spontaneous pulmonary metastasis model of human uterine sarcoma was established using GFP-expressed MES-SA cells. Several sublines with different metastatic potentials were generated by in vivo passaging.

View SamplesDiffuse-type gastric carcinoma is a poor-prognostic cancer with high expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)- and thick stromal fibrosis. However, detailed investigations on the roles of TGF- signaling in diffuse-type gastric carcinoma have not been performed. We generated two diffuse-type gastric carcinoma cell lines, dominant-negative TGF- type II receptor expressing cells (2MLN-dnTRII) and GFP-expressing cells (2MLN-GFP). Cells were subcutaneously or orthotopically injected into nude mice. Although dnTRII did not affect the growth of OCUM-2MLN in vitro, it accelerated the growth of subcutaneously or orthotopically transplanted tumors in vivo. By microarray analysis, we found gene expression of TSP-1, an angiogenic inhibitor, was down-regulated in dnTRII tumors. This results suggested disruption of TGF- signaling in diffuse-type gastric carcinoma cells leads to alteration of tumor microenvironment and acceleration of tumor growth.

View SamplesIn lung cancer progression, p53 mutations are more often observed in invasive tumors than in non-invasive tumors, suggesting that p53 is involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. To understand the nature of p53 function as a tumor suppressor, it is crucial to elucidate the detailed mechanism of the alteration in epithelial cells, the main origin of solid tumors, following p53 inactivation.

View SamplesIntratracheal transfer of isolated lung fibroblasts in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis recapitulates the activation process of lung fibroblasts after epithelial injury. In order to investigate gene expression signatures of transferred fibroblasts, we purified transferred fibroblasts 2, 4, and 7 days after the transfer and performed transcriptome analysis. We also isolated Acta2 high and low cells by using Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice 4 days after the transfer. Overall design: Lung fibroblasts were isolated from untreated Col-GFP mice after tissue dissociation and negative selection for lineage markers. Isolated lung fibroblasts were intratracheally transferred into wild type mice, which received intratracheal bleomycin treatment 7 days before the transfer. Col-GFP+ cells were purified from the host lungs by FACS sorting on 2, 4, and 7 days after the transfer. Acta2 high and low cells were prepared by transferring lung fibroblasts from Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice. mRNA was isolated from sorted cells, and gene expression profiles were acquired by next generation sequencing.
