Transcription profiling of human A549 lung cancer cells treated with resveratrol (25microM) or with ethanol control for 48 h
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Resveratrol, a natural phytoestrogen found in red wine and a variety of plants, is reported to have protective effects against lung cancer, however there is very little work directed towards the understanding of the mechanism of action of resveratrol in lung cancer. In this study we used an experimental approach to understand the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of resveratrol in A549 lung cancer cells. Gene expression profiles were compiled using an oligonucleotide microarray to determine altered expression levels in resveratrol treated cells. Experiment Overall Design: A549 cells were treated with resveratrol (25microM) or with ethanol control for 48 h. 4 samples in all were hybridized to the affymetrix chip, one control sample and 3 replicates of the resveratrol treated sample. Experiment Overall Design: Gene ontology-based gene lists are supplied in a supplementary file (Genelists.txt) at the foot of this record.

Project description:An orthotopic model of lung cancer was established in Rag-2 null mice by injecting 1 x 106 GFP-A549 cells into the mouse lung via the trachea. After 6 weeks a primary tumor develops in the right lung. RNA was collected from tumors established in the orthotopic model after 6 weeks in three separate mice and from the right lung of three sham control mice that were injected with PBS by the same method. RNA was also collected from the A549 cells in culture. RNA was applied to an Affymetrix Customized Protease Microarray (HuMu ProtIn chip). This custom chip is able to distinguish human and mouse genes by using oligonucleotides specific for each species. The chip contains all known human and mouse proteases and protease inhibitors. A distribution of gene expression from a comparison of all human and mouse genes present in the tumor vs. the control lung was indentified as well as a distribution of gene expression from a comparison of all human and mouse genes present in the tumor vs. the cells in culture. Human and mouse genes differentially expressed in each group were identifed.

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of all lung cancer cases. Chinese herbal formula Qing-Re-Huo-Xue (QRHXF) has shown antitumor effects in the NSCLC xenograft mouse model of Lewis cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor effects of QRHXF remain unknown. In this study, an A549 xenograft mouse model was established, and the mice were then treated with QRHXF or vehicle through oral gavage. Tumor growth was monitored. Tumors were subsequently harvested, and RNA sequencing was performed. Compared with the control group, mice treated with QRHXF showed smaller tumor size and slower tumor growth. RNA sequencing results indicated 36 differentially expressed genes between QRHXF treated and control groups. 16 upregulated and 20 downregulated genes were identified. Enrichment analysis showed four differential expression genes (DEGs) related to tumor growth pathways RASAL2, SerpinB5, UTG1A4, and PDE3A. In conclusion, this study revealed that QRHXF could inhibit tumor growth in an A549 xenograft mouse model, and the target genes of QRHXF may include PDE3A, RASAL2, SERPIB5, and UTG1A4.
Project description:Human lung cancer (A549) cells were treated 50uM of the metal cation-containing chemotherapeutic drug motexafin gadolinium (MGd) for 4, 12, and 24 hrs and expression compared to control cells (treated with 5% mannitol for the same length of time)
Project description:We have demonstrated that water-soluble zinc ionophores can be administered to mice at relatively high doses and inhibit the growth of A549 lung cancer cells grown in xenograft models. Gene expression profiles of tumor specimens harvested from mice four hours after treatment confirmed that the activation of stress responsive genes occurs in vivo. These findings lead us to propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Experiment Overall Design: 1.25 million A549 cells were injected subcutaneously/intramuscularly into the right hind flank of 6 week old CD-1 nude mice that had been irradiated with 4 Gy of total body irradiation from a 137Cs radiation source one day prior to tumor implantation. When the average size of tumors reached approximately 100 mm3, mice were randomized by tumor size to treatment groups, typically containing 6-8 mice per group. Tumor and body weight measurements were performed three times per week. Tumor volume was calculated using the equation V (mm3) = a x b2/2, where a is the largest diameter and b is the smallest diameter. No significant body weight loss was observed. To perform gene expression profiling, mice were treated intravenously with one dose (100 μmol/kg) PCI-5002, PCI-5003, or control vehicle (4 mice per group) when the average A549 tumor size reached 500 mm3. After four hours, tumors were harvested and snap frozen immediately on dry ice. Tumor tissue was homogenized, and total RNA was isolated and subjected to analysis using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays as described above.
Project description:"This series contain time course microarray data from MCF10A-Myc cells treated with either ethanol or Dexamethasone for 30 min, 2 hr, 4 hr, and 24 hr. This series contains three biological replicates that were analyzed as independent replicate experiments (data were normalized within each replicate experiment, not across all samples). Keywords: time course MCF10A-Myc cells were subjected to 72 hrs of growth factor withdrawal followed by treatment with either vehicle (ethanol) or Dex (10-6 M) for 0.5, 2, 4 or 24 hrs. Total RNA from each sample was extracted using Qiagen’s RNeasy Kit. Preparation of biotinylated cRNA and hybridization to oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix human genome genechip HG-U133A) were performed at the University of Chicago Microarray Core Facility. HG-U133A genechip contains 22,215 probe sets that represent approximately 16,000 human genes. The complete procedure was repeated independently three times. Gene chips were scanned and analyzed using Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) algorithm."
Project description:A transcription factor Nkx2-1 (also known as TTF-1) regulates the expression of different sets of genes. Gene expression analysis was performed using mRNAs from Nkx2-1-induced A549 cells compared to that from the control A549 cells. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression controlled by Nkx2-1 and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes. mRNAs were isolated from control and Nkx2-1-induced A549 cells and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify genes influenced by Nkx2-1.
