ABSTRACT: Gene expression analysis of celecoxib-treated rat cardiomyocytes vs non-treated rat cardiomyocytes. Goal of study is to identify changes on genes expression induced by celecoxib. The data analysis focused on genes that might be related to cardiotoxicity; genes expression ion channels and pathways. two control samples vs 6 celecoxib-treated samples. Variables of treatment included two time points (6h or 24h) and three reference concentrations (1, 1/5 and 1/25). Each group had 3 replicates.

Project description:Microarray analysis is a useful methodology to identify target genes modulated by anticancer drugs. Here, celecoxib effect on gene expression profiles was evaluated in the modified resistant hepatocyte model. Animals subjected to carcinogenic treatment were fed with diet containing 1500 ppm of celecoxib. Two schemes of celecoxib administration were designed. In the progression protocol, celecoxib was administrated between days 18 and 25 post-cancer initiation, a total of 8 celecoxib treatment days, when well established preneoplastic lesions starts to appear. In the initiation protocol, celecoxib was administrated from one week before until 25 days after of cancer initiation, a total of 32 celecoxib treatment days. A rat group was subjected only to the carcinogenic treatment as cancer positive control. Gene expression profiles of all groups were compared to a negative untreated control. The evaluation of gene expression profiles permitted us to identify new target genes that are modulated by celecoxib treatment. A possible mechanism of celecoxib chemoprevention of hepatocarcinogenesis is proposed. 9 weeks old Sprague Dawley rats, 4 rats per group, were subjected to Semple-Roberts' modified hepatocarcinogenesis protocol and sacrificed 25 days post-initiation. In celecoxib-treated groups, celecoxib was administrated mixed in diet at 1500 ppm. Negative and positive cancer progression controls were included to compare gene expression profiles. Microarray analysis was performed on liver samples, one replicate per rat, using dye swap.

Project description:Pharmacological inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is being explored as a chemotherapeutic option because COX-2 protein expression is often elevated in many cancers. Cancer cells treated with COX-2 inhibitors, such as the selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib, show growth inhibition and the induction of apoptosis, through alterations in inflammatory processes, angiogenesis, cell adhesion and transforming growth factor-β signaling. This study was conducted to determine if the same processes are relevant to celecoxib’s effects on human colorectal adenocarcinomas treated in vivo. A cohort of 23 patients with primary colorectal adenocarcinomas was randomized to receive a 7-day course of celecoxib (400 mg b.i.d.) or no drug prior to surgical resection. Gene expression profiling was performed on resected adenocarcinomas from patients with and without celecoxib pre-treatment. Using fold change (>1.5) and p-value (<0.05) cut-offs, 190 genes were differentially expressed between adenocarcinomas from patients receiving celecoxib and those that did not. Of the differentially expressed genes, multiple genes involved in cellular lipid and glutathione metabolism showed decreased expression levels in celecoxib pre-treated samples; changes associated with diminished cellular proliferation. Other observed gene expression changes consistent with reduced proliferation include: altered expression of genes involved in cell adhesion (including collagen, laminin, von Willebrand factor and tenascin C), increased expression of inflammatory modulators (including inerleukin-6, S100 calcium binding protein A8, and several chemokines) and decreased expression of the pro-angiogenic gene, angiogenin. Celecoxib pre-treatment for 7 days in vivo is associated with alterations in colorectal adenocarcinoma gene expression which are suggestive of diminished cellular proliferation.

Project description:Celecoxib is recognized to have chemopreventive and anti-cancer property beyond its anti-inflammatory function. Celelcoxib treatment in AGS cells down regulates Wnt/M-NM-2-catenin, STAT3, RXR and ERK/MAPK signaling pathways. Transcriptional profiling after celecoxib shows differential regulation of oncogenic pathway regulated genes. AGS cell were treated with celecoxib in triplicates and incubated for 24 hours. The processed samples were hybridized in M-bM-^@M-^\HuGene-1_0-stM-bM-^@M-^] array and the differentially expressed genes were taken for pathway analysis and transcription factor enrichment analysis.
