Gene expression profile of B 16(F10) murine melanoma cells exposed to hypoxic conditions in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is an important feature of tumor microenvironment, exerting far-reaching effects on cells and contributing to cancer progression. Previous studies have established substantial differences in hypoxia response between various cell lines. Investigating this phenomenon in melanoma cells contributes to a better understanding of cell lineage-specific hypoxia response and could point out novel hypoxia-regulated genes. We investigated transcriptional activity of B 16(F10) murine melanoma cells cultured for 24 h under hypoxic (nominal 1% O2, 15 samples including controls) and hypoxia-mimicking conditions (cobalt chloride, 100 or 200 microM, 6 samples including controls). Gene expression profiles were analyzed using MG-U74Av2 oligonucleotide microarrays. Data analysis revealed 2541 probesets
