View SamplesTo understand the underlying cause and mechanisms of changes in hepatocyte ploidy upon Albumin-Cre mediated deletion of E2f7&8 and Mx1-Cre mediated deletion of E2f1,2&3, we analysed global gene expression of 6 weeks and 2 months liver tissues.

View SamplesLoss of Myc corrects abrrant transcription in Rb KO villi, while these genetic manipulation does not lead to major gene expression changes in crypts.

View SamplesRb and E2F are thought to play antagonistic roles in celll proliferation. However, this model is based mostly from in vitro cell culture systems. We used small intestines to test this model in vivo.
E2f1-3 switch from activators in progenitor cells to repressors in differentiating cells.

View SamplesPTEN imparts tumor suppression in mice by cell autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms. Whether these two tumor suppressor roles are mediated through similar or distinct signaling pathways is not known. Here we generated and analyzed knockin mice that express a series of human cancer-derived mutant alleles of PTEN in either stromal or tumor cell compartments of mammary glands. We find that cell non-autonomous tumor suppression by Pten in stromal fibroblasts strictly requires activation of P-Akt signaling, whereas cell autonomous tumor suppression in epithelial tumor cells is independent of overt canonical pathway activation

View SamplesmiR-155 transgenic mice develop pre-B cell leukemia/lymphoma. Though some targets of miR-155 are known, understanding of the mechanism by which miR-155 overexpression drives malignant transformation is not known. MicroRNAs regulate multiple genes.
miR-155 targets histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) and impairs transcriptional activity of B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) in the Eμ-miR-155 transgenic mouse model.

View SamplesThe function of ID4 in CLL development was studied in vivo using TCL1 transgenic mouse model that develop leukemia similar to human CLL. TCL1 mice with ID4 single knockout gene have accelerated CLL progression.
Silencing of the inhibitor of DNA binding protein 4 (ID4) contributes to the pathogenesis of mouse and human CLL.

View SamplesCells undergoing malignant transformation often shift their cellular metabolism from primarily oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect). Energy restriction-mimetic agents (ERMAs), such as 2-deoxyglucose and resveratrol, that target this shift in cellular metabolism have been effective in inhibiting cancer cell growth in vitro, and xenograft tumor growth in vivo.

View SamplesMCMV has been reported to infect neural stem cells in the subventricular zone. These same cells have been shown to give rise to gliomas. We wanted to test expression levels of RNA in this cell population after MCMV infection in a mouse model of glioma.
