ABSTRACT: The taxanes are widely used in the treatment of breast and other cancers. While their cytotoxicity has been attributed to the induction of cell cycle arrest in mitosis through the stabilization of microtubules, we found that docetaxel promotes soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha production in MCF-7 breast tumor cells. TNF-alpha induces apoptotic cell death in a variety of cell types by binding to one of its receptors (TNFR1) which promotes death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation. Consistent with this view, we also report that selection of MCF-7 cells for survival in increasing concentrations of paclitaxel or docetaxel results in selection of drug-resistant variants that are resistant to TNF-alpha cytotoxicity. MCF-7 cells selected to 3-5 nM docetaxel produced >30-fold more TNF-alpha than control MCF-7CC cells but had strongly reduced levels of TNFR1. In contrast, expression of TNFR2 was unchanged, resulting in enhanced cell survival through the activation of the NF-kappaB p50 and p65 subunits. Gene expression profiling of docetaxel resistant MCF-7 cells compared to parental MCF-7 cells was performed for the changes of TNF related genes, and also confirmed in ovarian cell line A2780. Two docetaxel resistant cell lines of breast MCF-7 and ovarian A2780 were generated for gene expression profilling. Two colour microarray of Agilent whole human genome nucleotide arrays was conducted with two replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for MCF-7. Four arrays were used for this experiments. And it was four replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for A2780 cells. Eight arrays were used for this experiments
Project description:Background: Current protocols for the treatment of ovarian cancer include combination chemotherapy with a platinating agent and a taxane. However, many patients experience relapse of their cancer and the development of drug resistance is not uncommon, making successful second line therapy difficult to achieve. The objective of this study was to develop a cell line resistant to both carboplatin and docetaxel (dual drug resistant ovarian cell line A2780CBNDXL), along with single agent resistant lines (docetaxel resistant A2780DXL and carboplatin resistant A2780CBN), to investigate the mechanisms which underlie the development of dual drug resistance. Methods: The A2780 epithelial ovarian cancer cell line was used to select for isogenic carboplatin, docetaxel and dual drug resistant cell lines. A selection method of gradually increasing drug doses was implemented to avoid clonal selection. Resistance was confirmed using a clonogenic assay. Changes in gene expression associated with the development of drug resistance were determined by microarray analysis compared to parental co-culture control A2780CC. Changes in selected genes were validated by QPCR and immunoblotting. Results: Three isogenic cell lines were developed and resistance to each drug or the combination of drugs was confirmed. Development of resistance was accompanied by a reduced growth rate. The microarray and QPCR analyses showed that unique changes in gene expression occurred in the dual drug resistant cell line and that genes known to be involved in resistance could be identified in all cell lines. Conclusions: Novel changes in gene expression can occur in the development of dual drug resistance, indicating that dual drug resistance is not a simple combination of the changes occurring in single agent resistance Carboplatin, docetaxel (GSE26129) and carboplatin/docetaxel dual resistant cell lines of ovarian A2780 were generated for gene expression profilling. Two colour microarray of Agilent whole human genome nucleotide arrays was conducted with two replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for each cell line. Four arrays were used for this experiments. And it was four replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for A2780 cells. Eight arrays were used for this experiments

Project description:Docetaxel is the standard first line therapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer patients. Here we generated models of Docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells to study the molecular pathways that drive the acquisition of resistance to this therapy. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying the acquisition of Docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer cells. Parental Docetaxel-sensitive prostate cancer cell lines (DU145 and 22Rv1) and selected Docetaxel-resistant cells (DU145-DR and 22Rv1-DR) were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Samples were analyzed in triplicates in order to increase the resolution of expression profiles.
Project description:Docetaxel-based chemotherapy is the standard first-line therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, most patients eventually develop resistance to this treatment. The aim of the study was to identify key molecular genes and networks associated with docetaxel resistance in 2 models of docetaxel-resistant castration-resistant prostate cancer cell lines. DU-145 and PC-3 cells were converted to docetaxel-resistant cells, DU-145R and PC-3R, respectively. Whole-genome arrays were used to compare global gene expression between these 4 cell lines. Arrays were performed by triplicate for each cell line.
Project description:The taxanes, namely Paclitaxel and Docetaxel, are important and widely used cancer chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of invasive and metastatic human breast cancer. Although treatment with the taxanes is beneficial to many patients, drug-responsive tumors in patients with metastatic breast cancer often display resistance to these drugs, either initially or over time following the continued administration of chemotherapy drugs. To investigate the patterns of cross-resistance with the taxane drugs and to identify potential mechanisms of resistance, we generated a series of MDA-MB-231 taxane resistant cell lines. We then used microarrays to determine gene expression differences between sensitive, Docetaxel and Paclitaxel resistant MDA-MB-231 cells. RNA isolated from three independent passages of sensitive, Docetaxel and Paclitaxel resistant cell lines and purified using the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit. Total RNA was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix Genechip HU133A arrays.
Project description:Secretome analysis of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells treated with docetaxel. Analysis of EV fraction and soluble fraction from 6x10^6 mouse splenic T cells that had been treated with either control or docetaxel.
Project description:We measured the effect of docetaxel treatment to three differentially responsive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP, DU145 and PC-3, based on a transcriptional time course response by microarray analysis. These cell lines represent both androgen independent (DU145 and PC-3) and androgen sensitive (LNCaP) cells Hybridized arrays were scanned with Agilentâs dual laser-based scanner. Feature Extraction software version 10.5 (Agilent Technologies) was used to link a feature to a design file and to determine the relative fluorescence intensity between two samples. Dye swap strategy with alternate cy3 and cy5 labeling on docetaxel treated and control groups over four time points was used to have technical replicates and decrease dye bias.
Project description:Objective: To assess the role of aldoketoreductases and other doxorubicin pharmacokinetic or pharmacogenomic genes in doxorubicin cytotoxicity, resistance, DNA binding activity, and subcellular localization, Methods: We conducted a whole genome microarray study to identify differences in between doxorubicin-sensitive MCF-7cc cells and doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7Dox2-12 cells in terms of their expression of genes related to doxorubicin pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics. Targets were then validated by pharmacologic inhibition in conjunction with drug metabolite profiling, drug localization, drug cytotoxicity, and drug DNA binding studies. Results: 2063 differentially expressed transcripts were identified, including 17% and 43% of genes or gene families associated with doxorubicin pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics (p values of significance of 0.05 and <0.0001, respectively). The largest changes in the expression of genes associated with doxorubicin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were chiefly among the aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) Akr1c2, Akr1c3 and Akr1b10 which convert doxorubicin to doxorubicinol. We observed that doxorubicinol exhibits dramatically reduced drug toxicity, reduced drug DNA-binding activity, and altered drug subcellular localization to lysosomes. Pharmacologic inhibition of these AKRs in MCF-7Dox2-12 cells restored drug cytotoxicity, and drug localization to the nucleus. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the utility of using curated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic knowledgebases to identify highly relevant genes associated with doxorubicin resistance. The products of one or more of these genes could effectively be shown to alter the drug’s properties, while inhibiting them restored drug DNA binding, cytotoxicity, and subcellular localization. Doxorubicin resistant cell lines of breast MCF-7 cells were generated for gene expression profilling. Two colour microarray of Agilent whole human genome nucleotide arrays was conducted with four labelling replicates of both forward and reverse labellings plus another set of 8 arrays with forward labelling. Sixteen arrays were used for this experiments. The co-cultured control cells MCF-7cc12 was generated by parallel selection process in the absence of drug.
Project description:Comparison of the new generation taxane cabazitaxel with docetaxel in prostate cancer cells Cabazitaxel impacts distint molecular pathways as compared to docetaxel, which could underlie its efficacy after docetaxel treatment has failed in castration resistant prostate cancer patients 12 samples were analysed. A genome-wide expression array was performed on a GeneChip Human Gene 2.0ST Array (Affymetrix, 902112) with C4-2 cells, treated for 16h with 1nM cabazitaxel, docetaxel or vehicle (EtOH), in duplicates. The expression data were RMA normalized, and filtered to remove low-expressing genes. Differential gene expression with corresponding p-values (student’s ttest) was determined of drug-treated over control.
