Microarray analysis of HCT‑116 cells during in vitro culture over time
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Human cancer cell lines are frequently used in controlled culture systems to investigate cancer biology. However, extended cultivation can introduce genomic and transcriptional instability. The cell line HCT-116 is a well characterized and widely used model for colorectal cancer. To assess transcriptome stability over time and characterize passage‑dependent gene expression changes, HCT‑116 cells were cultured for 25 consecutive passages (~16 weeks). Cells were harvested at passages 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25, and total RNA was extracted for genome‑wide expression analysis. Microarray‑based transcriptome profiling was performed using the SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v3 platform (Agilent, G4851C), and arrays were scanned with the InnoScan 910 system (Innopsys). Three biological replicates were included for each selected passage. Differential expression analysis was conducted to compare transcriptomic changes across passages and to identify potential shifts associated with prolonged in vitro cultivation.
