Transcriptional effects of lentiviral vector-mediated PDK1 gene silencing in ovarian cancer xenografts

ABSTRACT: This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of PDK1 silencing on tumor growth, metabolism, and microenvironment modulation in vivo. Tumors were established in NOD/SCID mice by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of an highly glycolytic ovarian cancer cell line (OVCAR3) transduced with lentiviral vectors encoding PDK1-specific shRNA and selected in puromycin-containing medium. These cells had >70% reduced expression of PDK1 protein in vitro. OVCAR3 cells transduced with a scrambled shRNA lentiviral vector were used as control. Total RNA was extracted from tumor samples and hybridized on Affymetrix GeneChip™ PrimeView™ Human Gene Expression Arrays. Transcriptome analysis was performed with RNA purified from 5 different tumor samples per group (n=5 mice/shRNA and n=5 mice/shPDHK1), obtai
