Microarray analysis of a multiple myeloma cell line, MM1S, treated with adenosine A2A and Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor agonists in combination with dexamethasone
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have used an agnostic approach to identify drug combinations by using combination high throughput screening (cHTS) technology and make the surprising discovery that adenosine A2A and beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonists are highly synergistic, selective and novel agents that enhance glucocorticoid activity in B-cell malignancies. We used the microarray study to understand the synergistic mechanism between dexamethasone and A2A receptor agonist or Beta-2 Adrenergic receptor agonist in a multiple myeloma cell line, MM1S. MM1S cells were treated with CGS-21680 or Salmeterol alone, or in combination with dexamethasone for six hours for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:MM1S cells have been cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, and gene expression profiling has been performed using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profile during WAT -beige transition by treatment of beta adrenergic receptor agonist . Stromal vascular fractions (SVF) from mice (n = 3/group) that received vehicle or beta3 adrenergic receptor agonist, CL, treatment were served for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We are trying to find out angiogenic factors genes dynamics during white adipose tissues (WAT) - beige transition.
Project description:Activation of the sympathetic nervous system causes pronounced metabolic changes that are mediated by multiple adrenergic receptor subtypes. Systemic treatment with β<sub>2-</sub>adrenergic receptor agonists results in multiple beneficial metabolic effects, including improved glucose homeostasis. To elucidate the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms, we chronically treated wild-type mice and several newly developed mutant mouse strains with clenbuterol, a selective β<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic receptor agonist. Clenbuterol administration caused pronounced improvements in glucose homeostasis and prevented the metabolic deficits in mouse models of β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Studies with skeletal muscle-specific mutant mice demonstrated that these metabolic improvements required activation of skeletal muscle β<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic receptors and the stimulatory G protein, G<sub>s</sub>. Unbiased transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses showed that chronic β<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic receptor stimulation caused metabolic reprogramming of skeletal muscle characterized by enhanced glucose utilization. These findings strongly suggest that agents targeting skeletal muscle metabolism by modulating β<sub>2</sub>-adrenergic receptor-dependent signaling pathways may prove beneficial as antidiabetic drugs.
Project description:In this experiment we demonstrate the use of an inhibitor of the KDM5 family of histone demethylases, KDM5-C70, on H3K4me3 marks in the multiple myeloma cell line MM1S. KDM5-C70 increases H3K4me3 in a global fashion across the genome. Examination of H3K4me3 mark across MM1S cells treated with either KDM5-C70 or vehicle control
Project description:MM1S cells have been cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, and gene expression profiling has been performed using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array. We used microarrays to dissect the possible changes occurring at the mRNA level in normoxic cells versus hypoxic cells.
Project description:Murine small intestinal organoids were stimulated with the general α and β adrenergic receptor agonist norepinephrine and the complete potent and specific α2 adrenergic agonist UK 14,304 (both 1uM) or vehicle controls for 4 days. Afterwards, they were harvested for RNA isolation and proliferation and differentiation gene expression patterns were assessed.
Project description:The goal of this study was to identify transcriptional changes induced by a novel compound BRD9876 as a starting point to identify the compound's mechanism of action. Compound-treated cells are compared in duplicate with cells treated vehicle control (DMSO).
