Project description:Six non- and drug-resistant colorectal cancer cell lines were selected in this study, which were non-resistant cell lines: HCT116 and LoVo, four drug-resistant cell lines: HCT116-OxPt, HCT116-SN38, LoVo-OxPt, LoVo-SN38.Proteins extraced from three HCT116 related cell lines were labled and pooled together, and proteins from other three LoVo related cell lines were labled and pooled together.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Purpose:To elucidate the mechanism by which overexpression of GALC senescent fibroblasts promote the tumor properties of LoVo CRC cells Methods: LoVo cell which co-cultured with LV-GALC HFL1 fibroblasts cells and LoVo cell which co-cultured with LV-NC HFL1 fibroblasts cells using Transwell chamber were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the impact of LV-GALC HFL1 fibroblasts and LV-NC HFL1 fibroblasts on LoVo cell with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles.We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.Fibroblasts regulate the tumorigenicity of CRC cells and play important roles in tumor biology.
Project description:Irinotecan, an analogue of camptothecin, is frequently used in combination with various anticancer drugs or as a single agent in treatment of colorectal cancer. But drug resistance of tumor is still a major obstacle to overcome for the success of cancer treatment. In this study, We established chronic irinotecan resistant cell line for new marker to increase the sensitivity to irinotecan and investigated gene expression profiles of the irinotecan-resistant colorectal cancer cell line. To create stable CRC cell line chronically resistant to Irinotecan, LoVo cell was exposed to an initial Irinotecan concentration of 0.1 M-NM-<mol/L in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS. When the growth of the cultured cells reaches at 80% confluency, cells were passaged twice at same drug concentration to ensure adaptation and then concentration of Irinotecan was sequentially increased in the same manner to 8 M-NM-<mol/L and then we investigated the gene expressions between parental colorectal cancer cell line, LoVo and Irinotecan resistant LoVo cell lines
