Gene expression profiling of IGROV1 cells after in vitro treatment with ascitic fluid from human ovarian cancer bearing mice

ABSTRACT: CpG-ODN demonstrated anti-tumor activity in IGROV-1 ascites tumor-bearing mice. To evaluate if soluble molecules present in ascitic fluid, presumably released by innate immune cells via TLR9 stimulation, is directly involved with gene expression modulation a microarray experiment was performed. IGROV-1 human ovarian carcinoma cells were adapted to growth intraperitoneally (i.p.) and maintained by serial i.p. passages of ascitic cells into healthy mice as described. Mice were injected i.p. with 2.5 x 106 ascitic cells in 0.2 ml of saline and treated starting 10-11 days later, when mice showed evident and established ascites, with CpG-ODN [phosphorothioated ODN1826 (5’-TCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT-3’), TriLink Biotechnologies (San Diego, CA, USA)]. Delivered i.p. at a dose of 20 µg/mouse for 3 conse
