PU.1 is a potent tumor suppressor in classical Hodgkin lymphoma cells.
Cell line, Time
View SamplesPU.1 is an Ets family transcription factor that is essential for the differentiation of both myeloid and lymphoid cells. PU.1 is down-regulated in classical Hodgkin lymphoma cells via methylation of the PU.1 promoter. To evaluate whether down-regulation of PU.1 is essential for the growth of cHL cells, we generated KM-H2 derived cell lines conditionally express PU.1 by tet-off system (designated KM-H2tetPU.1). Conditonally expressed PU.1 by tetracycline removal induced complete growth arrest and apoptosis in KM-H2 cells. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced by PU.1, we compared gene expression profiles of KM-H2tetPU.1 cells 0, 1 and 3 days after PU.1 induction, by DNA microarray.

View SamplesWe screened a number of interferon inducible genes that may be involved in impeding HBV replication and found an anti-HBV activity in ISG20. ISG20 is an IFN-inducible 3- to 5-exonuclease, that degrades DNA and RNA and reduces antigen production in hepatocyte-derived cells
Interferon-stimulated gene of 20 kDa protein (ISG20) degrades RNA of hepatitis B virus to impede the replication of HBV in vitro and in vivo.

View SamplesGlioma initiating cells (GICs) are considered responsible for the therapeutic resistance and recurrence of malignant glioma. To clarify the molecular mechanism of GIC maintenance/differentiation, we established GIC clones from GBM patient tumors having the potential to differentiate into malignant gliomas in mouse intracranial xenograft, and established an in vitro glioma induction system by using serum stimulation.
Glioma initiating cells form a differentiation niche via the induction of extracellular matrices and integrin αV.

View SamplesEndothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in which endothelial cells lose their characteristics and acquire mesenchymal property has recently been recognized as a driver of disease progression in wide range of pathologies. However, the regulatory mechanism of EndMT has not been fully understood. Here, we found that combined knockdown of two ETS family transcription factors, ERG and FLI1, induced EndMT. Hence, we analyzed functions of ERG and FLI1 using gene expression microarray and ChIP-seq to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of EndMT.

View SamplesOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a very poor prognosis due to its highly invasive nature, and 5-year survival rate has not changed apparently for the past 30 years. Although cylindromatosis (CYLD) is thought as a potent tumor suppressor, its biological and clinical significances in OSCC are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify roles of CYLD in OSCC progression. Our immunohistochemical analyses revealed that CYLD expression was significantly reduced at invasive lesions in OSCC tissues whereas it was conserved in normal epithelium and carcinoma in situ. Accordingly, downregulation of CYLD by siRNA led to an acquisition of mesenchymal state and increased migratory and invasive activities in OSCC cells and HaCaT keratinocytes. Interestingly, CYLD knockdown promoted TGF-beta signaling by inducing TGF-beta receptor I (ALK5) stabilization in a cell autonomous fashion. In addition, the response to exogenous TGF-beta stimulation was enhanced by CYLD downregulation. The invasive phenotype induced by CYLD knockdown were completely blocked by an ALK5 inhibitor. Furthermore, lower CYLD expression was significantly associated with deep invasion, poor overall survival, and increased Smad3 phosphorylation which is an indicator of TGF-beta signaling activation in invasive OSCC. These findings suggest that downregulation of CYLD promotes invasion with mesenchymal transition via ALK5 stabilization in OSCC cells.
