ABSTRACT: Analysis of gene expression levels in response to inhibition of Hh signaling in ovarian cancer cells using a cDNA microarray technique. Results suggest that 208 genes (50.5%) were up-regulated and 204 gene (49.5%) were down-regulated after GANT61 treatment.The focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction cross-talk in SKOV3 cells after treatment with GANT61, and the expression change of “focal adhesion” related genes play an important role in the processes of response to GANT61-treatment. SKOV3 cells were treated with GANT61 (20 μM for 60 hr) and control vehicle DMSO, respectively.

Project description:Preclinical cancer drug discovery efforts have employed two-dimensional (2D)-cell-based assay models, which fail to forecast in vivo efficacy and contribute to a lower success rates of clinical approval. Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models are recently expected to bridge the gap between 2D and in vivo models. We have developed a novel 3D culture method that improves the growth of spheroid-forming cancer cells under anchorage-independent condition by leveraging a feature of FP001, a bacteria-derived polysaccharide. Gene microarrays were used to observe the global gene expression in SKOV3 cells cultured with adhesion condition (2D, control) or with low adhesion condition (FP001) and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated genes. SKOV3 cells were cultured for 11 days in normal attachment plates with normal medium (as control) or low-attachment plates with FP001 containing medium. Each sample was collected three times.
Project description:To dissect the molecular mechanisms of PEA-15-mediated paclitaxel sensitization in ovarian cancer cells, we performed cDNA microarray analysis using SKOV3.ip1-S116A cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with alanine) and SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with aspartic acid). cDNA microarray data analysis showed that SCLIP (SCG10-like protein), also known as STMN3, was highly expressed in SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells and was involved in pPEA-15-mediated paclitaxel sensitization in ovarian cancer cells. SKOV3.ip1-S116A cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with alanine) and SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with aspartic acid) were used. Total RNA was extracted and purified using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Inc.) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. The integrity of the obtained RNA was assessed using an Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (Agilent Technologies). The Affymetrix HGU133 plus platform was used for hybridization, staining, and imaging of the arrays by following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. Gene expression analysis was performed in triplicate.
Project description:To elucidate the biological function of BMP2 in ovarian cancer cells, SKOV3, a human ovarian cancer cell line, was stimulated with BMP2.
Project description:Human ovarian adenocarcinoma SKOV3 cells were exposed to BPA (10 or 100 nM) or 0.1% DMSO for 24 h,and then total RNA was extracted from cells using Trizol reagent. Sequencing libraries were generated using NEBNext UltraTM RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB) following manufacturer’s recommendations and index codes were added to attribute sequences to each sample. Then, the index-coded samples were clustered on a cBot Cluster Generation System using TruSeq PE Cluster Kit v3-cBot-HS (Illumina) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After cluster generation, the library preparations were sequenced on an Illumina Hisreq 4000 platform with 150 bp paired-end reads.
Project description:The mechanisms of primary ovarian cancer cells for resistance to viral oncolysis were investigated using Ad5/35.IR.E1A/TRAIL on clonal cultures derived from ovc316m cells. Part 2 of 2, 26 clonal ovc316m cultures additionally to Resistance of primary ovarian cancer cells to oncolytic adenoviruses part1 of 2 Cells were infected for 8 days and cell survival determined by MTT assay. Uninfected control cells of each clonal culture were utilized for DNA expression arrays. SKOV3-ip1 cells were used for reference RNA in all samples. The reference RNA from SKOV3-ip1 cells for part 2 of 2 had to be re-amplified.
Project description:Heparan sulfate (HS), a long linear polysaccharide, is implicated in various steps of tumorigenesis, including angiogenesis. We successfully interfered with HS biosynthesis using a peracetylated 4-deoxy analog of the HS constituent GlcNAc and studied the compoundM-bM-^@M-^Ys metabolic fate and its effect on angiogenesis. The 4-deoxy analog was activated intracellularly into UDP-4-deoxy-GlcNAc and HS expression was inhibited up to ~96% (IC50 = 16 M-BM-5M). HS chain size was reduced, without detectable incorporation of the 4-deoxy analog, likely due to reduced levels of UDP-GlcNAc and/or inhibition of glycosyltransferase activity. Comprehensive gene expression analysis revealed reduced expression of genes regulated by HS binding growth factors as FGF-2 and VEGF. Cellular binding and signaling of these angiogenic factors was inhibited. Micro-injection in zebrafish embryos strongly reduced HS biosynthesis, and angiogenesis was inhibited in both zebrafish and chicken model systems. All these data identify 4-deoxy-GlcNAc as a potent inhibitor of HS synthesis which hampers pro-angiogenic signaling and neo-vessel formation. 9 samples were analyzed: 3 biological replicates from untreated SKOV3 cells, 3 biological replicates from SKOV3 cells treated with peracetylated GlcNAc, 3 biological replicates from SKOV3 cells treated with peracetylated 4-deoxy-GlcNAc
Project description:To identify genes whose expression was suppressed by EZH2, we performed gene expression microarray analysis in control and EZH2 knockdown human SKOV3 EOC cells. Two individual short hairpin RNAs to the human EZH2 gene (shEZH2) were used to limit potential off-target effects. Two individual short hairpin RNAs to the human EZH2 gene (shEZH2) were used to limit potential off-target effects. Three technical replicates per group were used.
Project description:The microtubule-stabilising drug paclitaxel has activity in relapsed ovarian cancer. However, resistance frequently develops. Oncolytic adenoviruses are a novel cancer therapy, and replicate selectively within and lyse malignant cells, leading to productive infection of neighbouring cells. We found increased efficacy of adenoviruses of multiple subtypes in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cells. There was increased expression of a key adenovirus receptor, CAR (coxsackie adenovirus receptor), due to increased transcription that resulted from histone modification. Moreover, CAR transcription increased in intraperitoneal xenografts with acquired paclitaxel resistance and in tumours from patients with paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer. Finally, we identified dysregulated cell cycle control as a second mechanism of increased adenovirus efficacy in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer and that inhibition of CDK4/6 using PD-0332991 was able both to reverse paclitaxel resistance and reduce adenovirus efficacy. Thus, paclitaxel resistance increases oncolytic adenovirus efficacy via at least two separate mechanisms. Parental SKOV3 and paclitaxel-resistant SKOV3-TR cells were analysed in duplicate
Project description:This microarray experiment was designed to identify genes and pathways modulated in glucose deprivation resistant (GDR) and glucose deprivation sensitive (GDS) clones of ovarian cancer xenografts. Tumors were established in NOD/SCID mice by s.c. injection of human ovarian cancer cells (IGROV-1 and SKOV3). After sacrifice GDR and GDS clones were obtained from ex vivo cultures of tumors. Once isolated, GDR and GDS clones were cultivated in normal-glucose (0h) or low-glucose condition (6 h and 24 h). Two different time points were selected to investigate both early (6 h) and late (24 h) transcriptional effects of glucose deprivation in IGROV-1 and SKOV3-derived clones. Total RNA was extracted from samples and hybridized on Affymetrix GeneChip™ PrimeView™ Human Gene Expression Arrays. Based on assessment of RNA quality and on quality control analyses (including MAplots and boxplots), only one sample, corresponding to GDR condition at 6 h of glucose deprivation in SKOV3 model, was excluded because it was deemed not suitable for data analysis. In order to evaluate the effects of glucose deprivation in the two models, expression data of IGROV-1 and SKOV3-derived GDR and GDS clones were normalized and analyzed separately. Raw microarray data and pre-processed data matrices are available together with the applied protocols. Results of differential expression analysis are provided as supplementary tables of the associated publication.
