Profiling of cutaneous tumors

ABSTRACT: Metastasis and drug-resistance are major problems in cancer chemotherapy. The purpose of this work was to analyze the molecular mechanisms underlying the invasive potential of drug-resistant colon carcinoma cells. Cellular models included the parental HT-29 cell line and its drug-resistant derivatives selected after chronic treatment with either 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), methotrexate (MTX), doxorubicin (DOX) or oxaliplatin (OXA). Drug-resistant invasive cells were compared to non invasive cells using cDNA microarray, qRT-PCR, flow cytometry, immunoblots and ELISA. Functional and cellular signaling analyses were undertaken using pharmacological inhibitors, function-blocking antibodies, and silencing by retrovirus-mediated RNA interference. 5-FU- and MTX-resistant HT-29 cells expressing an inva
