Transcriptome analysis of pancreatic cancer cell response to treatment with grape seed proanthocyanidins.

ABSTRACT: Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs) have been demonstrated to exhibit potential chemotherapeutic efficacy against various cancer types. To determine the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in GSP-induced apoptosis, the present study prepared pancreatic cancer (PC) cells samples, S3, S12 and S24, which were treated with 20 µg/ml GSPs for 3, 12 and 24 h, respectively. Control cell samples, C3, C12 and C24, were also prepared. Using RNA-sequencing, transcriptome comparisons were performed, which identified 966, 3,543 and 4,944 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in S3 vs. C3, S12 vs. C12 and S24 vs. C24, respectively. Gene Ontology analysis of the DEGs, revealed that treatment with GSPs is associated with disruption of the cell cycle (CC) in PC cells. Additionally, disruption of transc
