Project description:Microarray analysis of a multiple myeloma cell line, MM1S, treated with adenosine A2A and Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor agonists in combination with dexamethasone
Project description:The combination of bortezomib and dexamethasone should become the reference induction treatment for multiple myeloma patients younger than 65 years. Pharmacogenomic profiles of genes involved in response to treatment may help to understand resistance. We performed gene expression profiling in 9 myeloma cell lines, incubated or not with bortezomib and dexamethasone for 6 hours. Supervised analysis identified significantly up regulated genes involved in stress responses. We focused on REDD1 a gene known to be rapidly induced by a wide variety of stress conditions and DNA damages. REDD1 expression was early and highly induced after bortezomib exposure. REDD1 induction was associated with the dephosphorylation of P70 S6 ribosomal kinase (P70S6K), a key substrate of mTOR. These effects were dependent upon cell line. REDD1 was overexpressed within two hours in bortezomib resistant cell lines in association with a cell size decrease. In sensitive cell lines, neither REDD1 induction nor morphological changes occurred. RNA interference mediated inhibition of REDD1 induction abrogates P70S6K dephosphorylation, early transitory cell size reduction and enhances sensitivity to bortezomib - dexamethasone. Our results suggest that mTOR regulation could be a resistance mechanism mediated by REDD1 expression in myeloma cells. Nine cell lines of multiple myeloma studied, incubated or not with bortezomib and dexamethasone, examined with spotted cDNA nylon membrane. Cell line and Code : JJN3 = Vel_1x; L363 = Vel_2x; LP1 = Vel_3x; MDN = Vel_4x; NCI = Vel_5x; RPMI = Vel_6x; SBN = Vel_7x; U266 = Vel_8x; XG1 = Vel_9x.
Project description:The goal of this study is to identify translationally-regulated mRNAs in multiple myeloma following treatment with dexamethasone The overall design is to treat the multiple myeloma cell line MM1.S with 1uM dexamethasone for 0 or 4 hours and collect total RNA and fractionated polysome pooled RNA (in 3 fractions)
Project description:MM1.S cells are an aggressive dexamethasone sensitive multiple myeloma cell line whose transcritional program is driven by deregulated c-Myc activity. We present ChIP-seq analysis of key transcritional regulators that are implicated the c-Myc transcriptional network in MM1.S cells treated with vehicle or 500nM JQ1.
Project description:1) We identified the genes whose expression was up- and down-regulated by the adhesion to bone marrow stromal cells in human multiple myeloma cell line RPMI8226. 2) We identified the genes whose expression was up- and down-regulated by the PI3K inhibitor PF-04691502 in human multiple myeloma cell line RPMI8226. We isolated mRNA from the multiple myeloma cell line RPMI8226 under drug-resistant conditions, and subjected them to gene expression profiling using an Agilent GeneChip Array.
Project description:This Series represents the gene expression profiles of patients with multiple myeloma who have been treated previously. In brief, Total Therapy 6 (TT6) is an open label phase 2 protocol for patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma, who had been treated with more than one cycle of prior therapy excluding autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. This protocol was approved by the institutional review board on March 25, 2009 (IRB#108053). The TT6 treatment regimen consists of induction therapy with Melphalan/Bortezomib/Thalidomide/Dexamethasone/Cisplatin/Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide/Etoposide (M-VTD-PACE) followed by a high dose M-VTD-PACE based tandem transplant. Maintenance therapy consists of Bortezomib/Lenalidomide/Dexamethasone alternating with Borteomib/Melphalan/Dexamethasone every months for 3 years.

We analyzed CD138+ selected cells of previously treated MM patients by microarray.
