Project description:Little is known about the role of FOXO3 and PDHA1 in PDAC. We performed microarrays to revealed the transcriptional change of a human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDCA) cell line (Panc -1) to scr-siRNA, FOXO3-siRNA and PDHA1-siRNA in order to provide insight into the role of PDHA1 and FOXO3 in Panc-1 cells.

Panc-1 Human PDCA cells were treated with scr-siRNA, FOXO3-siRNA and PDHA1-siRNA for 48 h and total RNA was extracted by using TRIzol Reagent. The microarray analysis was conducted on the Panc-1 cells expressing by using Agilent Microarray.
Project description:MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines were cultured in DMEM-F12 containing 10% FBS (Lonza) 100U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin (Lonza). Transfecting third generation packaging vectors using Poly-ethylenimine into HEK293T cells generated lentiviral particles (17). MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were stably transduced with lentivirus containing pINDUCER20-FOXO3.A3, allowing doxycycline induced expression of constitutively active FOXO3 (FOXO3.A3). Cells were treated with 20% FBS or 10 µM PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (Selleckchem) for 16 hours to activate and inactivate the endogenous PI3K pathway, respectively. FOXO3.A3 expression was induced by 16 hours treatment with 10 ng/ml doxycycline.
