ABSTRACT: The PARK2 gene was knocked down using 2 independent siRNAs in SNB19 and SF539 cell lines A non-targeted scramble siRNA was used as the control. Scramble, PARK2 siRNA#1 or PARK2 siRNA#2 was transfected into each cell line, in duplicate, and RNA analyzed using the Affymetrix U133A 2.0 platform.
Project description:HPSE plays important roles in gastric cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis.The aim of this study is to explore molecular mechanism underling roles of HPSE in gastric cancer cell proliferation, survival, migration and metastasis. SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells were transfected with HPSE siRNA (10nM) or scramble control siRNA, RNA were extracted 24hours after transfectioin and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays. 3 biological repeats were used for each condition.
Project description:Gene expression analysis of MCF-7 cells transfected with a scramble or RBM38 siRNA and incubated with or without doxorubicin. The hypothesis tested in the present study was to assess the impact of RBM38 depletion on gene expression of normal growing and doxorubicin-stressed MCF-7 cells. Results provide information about doxorubicin and/or RBM38-responsive genes. Total RNA obtained from isolated MCF-7 cells transfected with a scramble or RBM38 siRNA (72h) and incubated with or without doxorubicin (24h).
Project description:Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1) has been found to be up-regulated in many human solid tumors. In this study, we investigated the changes of gene expression by comparing CTHRC1-siRNA and Scramble-siRNA control in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HCCLM3, which has high expression levels of CTHRC1. Differential gene expression was assessed by Affymetrix microarray experiments for 2 samples: CTHRC1-siRNA-treated HCCLM3 cells and Scramble-siRNA-treated HCCLM3 cells.
Project description:U2-OS cells were transfected with scramble siRNA or PKC delta siRNA, then left untreated or treated with 2 ug/ml adriamycin for 8 h.
Project description:The FAT1 gene was knocked down using 2 independent siRNAs, in immortalized human astrocytes and U87 and U251 glioma cell lines. A non-targeted scramble siRNA was used as a control. Scramble, FAT1 siRNA#1 and FAT1 siRNA#2 were transfected into each cell line, in duplicate, and RNA analyzed using the Affymetrix U133A 2.0 platform.
Project description:Analysis to identify genome-wide differential alternative splicing events in A549 cells in which the levels of the gene SRSF1 were down-regulated with a specific siRNA 9 samples from three independent experiments using A549 cells transfected with lipofectamine alone, scramble siRNA or SRSF1 siRNA

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) continues to be one of the most common cancers in men worldwide. The six transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 1 (STEAP1) protein is overexpressed in several types of human tumours, particularly in PCa. Our research group has demonstrated that STEAP1 overexpression is associated with PCa progression and aggressiveness. Therefore, understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms triggered by STEAP1 overexpression will provide important insights to delineate new strategies for PCa treatment. In the present work, a proteomic strategy was used to characterize the intracellular signalling pathways and the molecular targets downstream of STEAP1 in PCa cells. A label-free approach was applied using an Orbitrap LC-MS/MS system to characterize the proteome of STEAP1-knockdown PCa cells. More than 6700 proteins were identified, of which a total of 526 proteins were found differentially expressed in scramble siRNA versus STEAP1 siRNA (234 proteins up-regulated and 292 proteins down-regulated). Bioinformatics analysis allowed us to explore the mechanism through which STEAP1 exerts influence on PCa, revelling that endocytosis, RNA transport, apoptosis, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and metabolic pathways are the biological processes where STEAP1 is involved. By immunoblotting, it was confirmed that STEAP1 knockdown induced the up-regulation of cathepsin B, intersectin-1 and syntaxin 4,while it down-regulation HRas, PIK3C2A and DIS3. These finding suggested that blocking STEAP1 might be a strategy to activate apoptosis and endocytosis, and diminish cellular metabolism and intercellular communication, leading to inhibition of PCa progression.
Project description:Identification of the molecular changes that promote viability and metastatic behaviour of prostate cancer cells is critical for the development of improved therapeutic interventions for prostate cancer. Stat5a/b and Stat3 are both constitutively active in locally-confined and advanced prostate cancer, and both transcription factors have been reported to be critical for the viability and growth of prostate cancer cells. We used microarrays to compare gene expression profiles regulated by Stat5a/b vs. Stat3 in human prostate cancer cells. DU145 and CWR22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells were transfected with Stat3 siRNA, Stat5a/b siRNA or scramble siRNA as control. After 48 h, the cells were harvested and total RNA was prepared for Affymetrix microarrays.
