Project description:To further development of the effects of miR-200a in ovarian cancer OVCAR3 cells,we have employed lncRNA and mRNA microarray as a discovery platform to identify lncRNA and mRNA expression in miR-200a overexpressing ovarian cancer cells. OVCAR3 cells were transfected with lentiviral vector with eGFP, encoding miR-200a and negative control vector (LV- miR-200a and LV-CON,) by using polybrene. The dysregulation of miR-200a was confirmed by using RT-PCR. RNA was extracted and detected by a lncRNA and mRNA microarray in LV-miR-200a and LV-CON OVCAR3 cells. The different expression of lncRNA and mRNA in LV-miR-200a and LV-CON OVCAR3 cells was analyzed to explore the mechanism that miR-200a affect ovarain cancer cells.
Project description:To investigate the molecular pathways underlying RNASET2-mediated tumor suppression in vivo, we investigated the gene expression profile of tumor samples obtained from control and RNASET2-silenced OVCAR3 xenografts, respectively. In order to evaluate the contribution of human cancer cells and the murine host stroma to RNASET2-mediated tumorigenesis responses, total RNA extracted from tumor xenografts derived from six independent OVCAR3 cell clones (three parental and three RNASET2-silenced clones) was fluorescently labeled and hybridized to human Agilent whole-genome microarrays. Control and RNASET2-silenced OVCAR3 were injected subcutaneously into nude mice. After 39 days mice were sacrified, tumors were extracted and total RNA purified.

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies in the US. Ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) have been shown to drive chemoresistance and tumor progression but the mechanism remains incompletely understood. Disabled Homolog 2- Interacting Protein (DAB2IP) is a potent tumor suppressor identified in multiple types of cancers and we demonstrate that DAB2IP is silenced by the repressive epigenetic mark H3K27me3 at the DAB2IP promoter loci in OCSCs.
