Project description:For a long time, the BARD1 (BRCA1-associated RING domain 1) protein has been considered as a BRCA1 (BReast Cancer susceptibility gene 1, early onset) interactor, and tumor suppressor mutated in breast and ovarian cancers. Despite its functions in a stable heterodimer with BRCA1, there is increasing evidence for BRCA1-independent functions of BARD1. Here, we investigated BARD1 expression and function in human acute myeloid leukemias and their modulation by epigenetic mechanisms and microRNA. We show that the HDACi (histone deacetylase inhibitor) Vorinostat reduces BARD1 mRNA levels by increasing miR-19a and miR-19b expression levels. Moreover, we identify specific BARD1 isoforms that might act as tumor diagnostic and prognostic markers. Two-condition experiment: untreated NB4 cells (control) vs. NB4 cells treated with 5M-BM-5M SAHA (Vorinostat) for 6h. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 treated, independently grown and harvested at 6 hours. One replicate per array.
Project description:Combining different clinical agents to target multiple pathways in prostate cancer cells, including androgen receptor (AR) signaling, is potentially an effective strategy to improve outcomes for men with metastatic disease. We have previously demonstrated that sub-effective concentrations of an AR antagonist, bicalutamide, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, vorinostat (SAHA), and a hsp90 inhibitor, 17-AAG, act synergistically when combined to cause death of AR-dependent prostate cancer cells. In this study, expression profiling of human prostate cancer cells treated with bicalutamide, vorinostat (SAHA) or 17-AAG, alone or in paired combination, was employed to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying these synergistic interactions. We used microarray analysis to determine the global molecular profile contributing to the synergistic cell death in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells caused by combinations of bicalutamide, vorinostat (SAHA), or 17-AAG. LNCaP human prostate cancer cells were treated for 6 hours with drug treatments as follows: vehicle control, 5 uM bicalutamide, 1 uM vorinostat (SAHA), 40 nM 17-AAG, 5 uM bicalutamide + 40 nM 17-AAG, 40 nM 17-AAG + 1 uM vorinostat (SAHA), or 5 uM bicalutamide + 1 uM vorinostat (SAHA). Each treatment was performed in sextuplicate.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of U937 miR-194-5p (UmiR-194-5p) vs U937 miR-194-5p (UmiR-194-5p) treated with SAHA (Vorinostat; suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) for 24 h at 5uM concetration
Project description:AML cell lines (K562, U937 and NB4) were treated with MS27-275 (MS) and SAHA for 6 hours and the gene expression analysis revealed commonly regulated genes by the 2 HDACi. AML blasts were treated with SAHA for 6 hours and gene expression profiles were compared to commonly regulated genes by MS and SAHA in AML cell lines. The analysis revealed commonly regulated genes in these systems by SAHA.
Project description:We report the use of RNAseq to determine the role of the TFEB transcription factor in all-trans retinoic acid induced differentiation of NB4 acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells. We used lentiviral mediated shRNA approaches to functionally deplete TFEB in NB4 cells and compared the transcriptomes of wild type, scramble control shRNA and shTFEB knockdown cells treated with ethanol (control) versus all-trans retinoic acid for 72 hours.
Project description:K562, U937 and NB4 AML cell lines were treated with 2 HDACi, MS-275 and SAHA, and gene expression profiles were analysed to 6-hours treatments. The analysis revealed commonly regulated genes in the 3 cell lines and by 2 HDACi.
