Project description:Inhibiting STAT3 signaling reduces tumor progression, metastases and chemoresistance, however the precise molecular mechanism has not been fully delineated in ovarian cancer. Methods: In this study, we generated STAT3 knockout (KO) ovarian cancer cell lines. Effect of STAT3 KO on cell proliferation, migration and spheroid formation was assessed in vitro and effect on in vivo tumor growth was tested using several tumor xenograft models. We used multi-omic genome-wide profiling to identify multi-level (Bru-Seq, RNA-Seq, and MS Proteomic) expression signatures of STAT3 KO ovarian cancer cells.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of ovarian cancer cell lines and normal cells. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles for approximately 27,000 CpGs. Samples included 46 ovarian cancer cell lines, 4 normal counterparts and 8 controls.
Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out HeyA8 and SKOV3-ip1 ovarian cancer cell lines, treated either with vehicle control or 10 uM norepinephrine. The primary research question is whether ovarian cancer cell gene expression differs as a function of norepinephrine exposure. Gene expression profiling was carried out HeyA8 and SKOV3-ip1 ovarian cancer cell lines, treated either with vehicle control or 10 uM norepinephrine.

Project description:We evaluated the genome-wide microRNA expression profiles in lymphoblastoid cell lines of familial ovarian cancer patients and controls We used microarray to perform microRNA profiling in lymphoblastoid cell lines from 74 women with familial ovarian cancer patients and 47 controls.
