Project description:Drug resistance, caused by complex and redundant mechanisms, is a major obstacle in cancer treatment, especially in liver and kidney cancers. Combinational therapy of miRNAs, which concurrently target multiple pathways, with anticancer drugs represent a new strategy to improve the drug response. By a systems approach, we identified that miR-27b, a miRNA deleted in liver and kidney cancers, sensitizes cancer cells to a broad spectrum of anticancer drugs in vitro and in vivo. Two samples transfected with nontarget miRNA control or miR-27b mimics followed by 48 hours doxorubicin treatment

Project description:To identify the microRNA-27b (miR-27b) target genes in luminal-type breast cancer cells, we performed the microarray analysis using miR-27b knockdown MCF7-luc cell line (MCF7-luc anti-miR-27b), miR-27b overexpressing MCF7-luc cell line (MCF7-luc miR-27b o.e.) and their contro cell line (MCF7-luc anti-NC).

After establishing MCF7-luc anti-miR-27b, MCF7-luc miR-27b o.e. and MCF7-luc anti-NC using lentivirus vector, we performed the microarray analysis.
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.
