Iron Chelators Treatment on DMS-53 Human Lung Cancer Cell

ABSTRACT: The molecular role of iron in gene expression remains poorly characterized. Moreover, the alterations in global gene expression after iron chelation remains unclear and are important to assess for understanding the molecular pathology of iron-depletion and the biological effects of iron chelators. We assessed the effect on whole genome gene expression of two iron chelators (desferrioxamine and Dp44mT). These studies are important for understanding the molecular and cellular effects of iron-depletion. The DMS-53 cells were incubated with either control medium or this medium containing DFO (250 µM) or Dp44mT (25 µM) for 24 h at 37oC. These concentrations were used since our previous studies demonstrated that under these conditions these chelators lead to up-regulation of iron-responsive gene
