Project description:Colon cancer cell lines with partial sensitivity to the BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 were grown in increasing concentration of the drug to develop acquired resistance. Gene expression was performed for comparison of the resistant clones to the parental lines.

Project description:We treated melanoma cells with BRAF mutation with BRAF inhibitor and screened for BRAF inhibitor resistant cells. We extracted total mRNA from parental cells and resistant cell lines. We compared their expression by carried out Affymetrix Huex 1.0 ST expression array. Two paired parental/derived cell lines were screened as per the summary above. BRAF inhibitory resistant cells had gene expression compared to the parental cell lines.

Project description:Melanoma cell lines were assessed for differences in gene expression patterns between the lines sensitive and resistant to BRAF and MEK inhibitor drugs. 22 BRAF-mutant melanoma cell lines were assessed for response to BRAF and MEK inhibitors in a 3 day drug treatment dose response assay. Based on the IC50, 18 lines were found to be responsive to BRAF or MEK inhibition and 4 were resistant. Normalised gene expression data generated from experimental replicate affymetrix arrays was assessed to identify differential patterns of inherent gene expression between the cell lines grouped as drug-responsive or drug-resistant. This were used to idenify specific candidate genes and pathways associated with inherent BRAF/MEK inhibitor drug resistance in melanoma cells.

Project description:Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with increasing incidence worldwide. The development of BRAF kinase inhibitors as targeted treatments for patients with BRAF-mutant tumours contributed profoundly to an improved overall survival of patients with metastatic melanoma. Despite these promising results, the emergence of rapid resistance to targeted therapy remains a serious clinical issue. To investigate the impact of BRAF inhibitors on miRNomes and transcriptomes, we used in vitro melanoma models consisting of BRAF inhibitor-sensitive and -resistant cell lines generated in our laboratory. miRNA and gene expression were assessed by microarray analyses of the BRAF inhibitor sensitive melanoma cells A375, IGR37, and 501Mel, as well as on the vemurafenib (PLX4032) - resistant cells A375_XP, IGR37_XP, 501Mel_XP, and dabrafenib (GSK2118436) - resistant cells A375_GP, IGR37_GP, 501Mel_GP. For each cell line the microarray experiment was performed in duplicates.
