Description
Mfng, a modulator of Notch signaling, is highly expressed in human claudin-low breast cancer (CLBC). To determine Mfngs roles in CLBC pathogenesis,we knocked down Mfng in a CLBC cell line MDA-MB231, and found that Mfng knockdown altered Notch activation, decreased tumor sphere formation in vitro, and reduced tumor growth in xenograft model. To identify the potential downstream targets of Mfng during CLBC tumorigenesis, we compared the gene expression profiles between xenografts tumor derived from of MDA-MB231 cells carrying Mfng shRNA and the control vector. Mfng, a modulator of Notch signaling, is highly expressed in human claudin-low breast cancer (CLBC). To determine Mfngs roles in CLBC pathogenesis,we knocked down Mfng in a CLBC cell line MDA-MB231, and found that Mfng knockdown caused alteration in Notch activation, associated with decreased tumor sphere formation in vitro, as well as reduced tumor growth in xenograft model. We intend to compare gene expression profiles between xenografts of MDA-MB231 cells carrying Mfng shRNA and the control vector. This project seeks to identify potential downstream targets of Mfng in CLBC.

Description
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a refractory and lethal interstitial lung disease characterized by alveolar epithelial cells apoptosis, fibroblast proliferation and extra-cellular matrix proteins deposition. Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) has previously been localised to alveolar epithelial cells of IPF patients. In this study we utilised a microarray based differential gene expression analysis strategy to identify potential molecular drivers of EBV associated lung fibrosis. We employed an alveolar epithelial cell line infected with EBV (A-Akata). Lytic phase infection induced in the A-Akata cells by TPA/BA treatment resulted in increase of TGFbeta1 and TIEG1 mRNA expression. Treatment of the A-Akata cells with ganciclovir,

Description
Hormones and growth factors accelerate cell proliferation of breast cancer cells, and these molecules are well investigated targets for drug development and application. The mechanisms of cell proliferation of breast cancers lacking estrogen receptor (ER) and HER2 have not been fully understood. The purpose of the present study is to find genes that are differentially expressed in breast cancers and that might significantly contribute to cell proliferation in these cancers. Forty tumor samples, consisting of ten each of immunohistochemically ER(+)/HER2(-), ER(+)/HER2(+), ER(-)/HER2(+), and ER(-)/HER2(-) cancer were analyzed using oligonucleotide microarrays. Both genes and tumor samples were subjected to hierarchical clustering. ER(+)/HER2(-) breast cancers and ER(-)/HER2(-) cancers tended to form a tumor cluster, but HER2 positive breast cancers were split into different tumor clusters.

Description
Rationale. Lung inflammation in premature infants contributes to development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease with long-term sequelae. Pilot studies administering budesonide suspended in surfactant have found reduced BPD without apparent adverse effects as occur with systemic dexamethasone therapy. Objectives. To determine effects of budesonide on differential genes expression in human fetal lung Overall design: Methods. We prepared RNA from 3 samples of human fetal lung at 23 weeks gestation before (preculture, PC) and after 4 days culture as explants with (Bud) or without (Way) budesonide (30 nM) and performed RNAseq on the 9 samples.

- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
The cancer stem cell model maintains that tumors are organized in a hierarchy driven by tumor initiating cells (TICs), and that patient survival inversely correlates with TIC gene expression. Here we generated a prognostic signature for HER2+ breast cancer from TICs purified from MMTV-Her2/Neu mammary tumors. TICs from this model, identified as Lin-:CD24+:JAG1- at a frequency of 2-5% by serial and single cell transplantation assays, showed elevated expression of proliferation genes and low expression of differentiation genes (compared to non-TIC fraction CD24- of the same tumor).

Description
To model the effect of Pten loss on breast cancer, we deleted Pten using a floxed allele and the deleter lines MMTV-Cre(NLST), which targets stem/bi-potent progenitor cells, and WAP-Cre, which targets CD24-positive, pregnancy-identified stem cells/alveolar progenitors. Mammary tumors were detected in WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f females with a latency of 15.2 months. By 18 months, nearly all mice had succumbed to cancer. MMTV-Cre:Ptenf/f mice developed mammary tumors after a longer latency of 26.4 months and reduced penetrance (70%) compared to WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f mice. Tumors from both models were heterogeneous, consisting primarily of differentiated adenocarcinoma (adenomyoepithelioma; ~70%) and adenosquamous carcinoma (20-25%). In addition, a small fraction of tumors was classified as acinar and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (4-7%) and adenosarcoma (3-4%). To test the consequences of combined Pten and p53 gene mutation on breast cancer, we deleted both genes via MMTV-Cre or WAP-Cre. Kaplan-Meier tumor free survival curves revealed that WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f:p53f/f and MMTV-Cre:Ptenf/f:p53f/f females developed tumors with reduced latency of 11.3 and 9.8 months, compared with 15.2, 26.4, and 16.9 months for single-mutant WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f, MMTV-Cre:Ptenf/f or MMTV-Cre:p53f/f mice, respectively. In contrast to the heterogeneity of Pten tumors and small percentage of adenosarcomas in these mice, ~70% of Pten:p53 lesions were histologically classified as adeno-sacrcomatoid-like or mesenchymal-like breast cancer, with the rest exhibiting mixed mesenchymal plus adenocarcinomas and differentiated adenocarcinomas. The adeno-sacrcomatoid-like tumors expressed the mesenchymal markers vimentin, K5, SMA, N-cadherin and desmin but not ER, as well as islands of luminal-like K18 expressing cells surrounded by a layer of K14-positive cells.

Description
Breast Cancer (BC) has been associated with alterations in signaling through a number of growth factor and hormone regulated pathways. Mouse models for metastatic BC have been developed using oncoproteins that activate PI3K, Stat3 and Ras signaling. To determine the role of each pathway, we analyzed mouse mammary tumor formation when they were activated singly or pairwise.
