Project description:We analyzed publicly available mucosal gene expression data from Crohn's disease (CD) patients pre- and post-infliximab therapy and found that a series of gene expression signature that remains abnormal even if patients achieve clinical remission. Using CMap approach to discover novel therapeutic target for untreatable mechanism of anti-TNFa mAb therapy, we have identified MEK inhibitor exhibiting negatively-correlated effects on reference signature match infliximab therapy untreatable signature. Our findings provide the rationale for testing MEK inhibitor to identify a novel mechanism of action for CD. Gene expression profile was performed to analyze the gene modulation induced by a highly selective MEK inhibitor, and to evaluate whether it normalized reference residual CD signature in vitro.
Project description:3 BRAF/MEK inhibitor resistance melanoma cells were treated with PAK inhibitor PF3758309 for 48 hr, the cell lysis were analyzed by RPPA profiling by protein array (RPPA)

Our findings provide the rationale for testing MEK inhibitor to identify a novel mechanism of action for CD. Using an activated T cell trasnfer colitis model, a highly selective MEK inhibitor showed therapeutic efficacy and improved the histological changes. To dissect molecular mechanisms, we performed global gene expression profile by RNA-sequencing on the Ion Torrent platform to identify broad scale changes in gene expression treated with MEK inhibitor compared to anti-TNFa mAb.
Project description:PEAK1 overexpression vector and negative control vector were transiently transfected into LoVo cells, respectively, and named LoVo-PEAK1 and LoVo-control groups. LoVo cells of different groups were determined to investigate the different expressions of mRNA using a global gene microarray.
Project description:This study used microarray expression analysis to identify global changes in transcript alteration in response to MEK inhibition. Genes under ERK control were identified in a representative V600E BRAF cell line as a function of time following exposure to a small molecule inhibitor of MEK. Experiment Overall Design: SkMel-28 cells growing in culture were treated with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901 for 2, 8, or 24 hours. Changes in RNA compared to reference (time =0) were measured using microarray analysis.
Project description:Investigation of the transcriptional consequences of RUNX2 and CBFB loss in the presence and absence of the MEK inhibitor selumetinib in LoVo ERN1 knockout KRAS mutant colorectal cancer cells.
Project description:Metformin is effective for prevention or treatment of various tumors. There are a lot of studies on the underlying mechanisms of metformin as respect to its anti-tumor action. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the anti-tumor effects of metformin on LoVo cells. Human derived LoVo cells were treated with metformin (10mM) for 8 and 24h, and the control and treated cells were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.The samples were grouped as Met8h, Met24h, Con8h, and Con24h, respectively.
Project description:This study used microarray expression analysis to identify global changes in transcript alteration in response to MEK inhibition. Genes under ERK control were identified in a panel of V600E BRAF and RTK-activated tumor cells and xenografts, using short-term inhibition of ERK activity using the MEK inhibitor PD0325901 (Pfizer). Experiment Overall Design: Cell lines growing in culture (n=12) and murine xenografts (n=2) were treated with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901 or vehicle alone as control. Paired analysis of MEK inhibited to control samples was performed for two groups of tumor cells, V600E BRAF and RTK.
Project description:The goal of this experiment was to understand the changes in gene expression in the human basal-like breast cancer cell line HCC1143 following treatment with the MEK inhibitor Trametinib (T), PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 (B), the BET inhibition JQ1 (JQ), Trametinib + JQ1 (TJ), or BEZ235 + JQ1(BJ), compared to a DMSO control (D). Samples were treated for 72hr and run in triplicate.
Project description:We sought to elucidate the molecular mechanisms whereby LIN28B functions by comparing the gene expression profile of cells constitutively expressing LIN28B to empty vector controls. Accordingly, we performed microarray analysis on total RNA isolated from empty vector LoVo and LIN28B-expressing LoVo colon cancer cell lines.
