Project description:Hyperthermia (HT) is widely used to treat patients with various cancers. In general, HT elicits a wide spectrum of stress responses, such as induction of heat shock proteins, protein aggregation and cell death in mammalian cells. Although many biological processes are affected by HT, the overall responses to HT in mammalian cells remain unknown. The effects of heat stress at 41°C for 30 min (mild hyperthermia) on the gene expression in human oral squamous cell carcinoma HSC-3 cells were investigated using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Human oral squamous cell carcinoma HSC-3 cells were treated with heat stress (41°C for 30 min), followed by incubation for 0, 1, or 3 h at 37°C. Non-treated cells served as control. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells, and quality of the RNA was analyzed using a Bioanalyzer 2100. Gene expression was monitored by an Affymetrix GeneChip® system with a Human Genome U133-Plus 2.0 array. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:Hyperthermia is widely used to treat patients with various cancers. The 42.5ËC is well known as inflection point of hyperthermia and generally up to 42ËC of hyperthermia is used in clinical case to combine with other therapy. Here, the effects of heat stress at 42 or 44ËC for 90 min on the gene expression in HSC-3 human oral squamous carcinoma cells were investigated using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. The cells were treated with heat stress (42 or 44°C for 90 min) and followed by incubation for 0, 6, or 12 h at 37°C. The percentage of cell death was 5.0 ± 1.5 (mean ± SD) at 42°C for 12 h and 17.4 ± 0.6 at 44°C for 12 h. Of approximately 47,000 probe sets analyzed, many genes that were differentially expressed by a factor 2.0 or greater were identified in the cells treated with heat stress at 42 and 44°C. HSC-3 human oral squamous carcinoma cells were treated with heat stress (42 or 44°C for 90 min) and followed by incubation for 0, 6, or 12 h at 37°C. Non-treated cells were served as control. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells. Gene expression was analyzed by an Affymetrix GeneChip® system with a Human Genome U133-plus 2.0 array for analysis of over 47,000 transcripts. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufacturerâs instructions.
Project description:The effects of Candida albicans on the metastatic activity of oral squamous cell carcinoma was observed in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro experimental setup HO-1-N-1 and HSC-2 human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines were treated with zymosan, heat-killed Candida albicans, heat-killed C. parapsilosis, live C. albicans and live C. parapsilosis. Whole transcriptomics was performed of the human tumor cells. In the in vivo experiment human HSC-2 tumor cells were injected to the tongue of mice. Whole transcriptomic analysis was performed of the human HSC-2 derived tumor cells comparing control tumor and oral candidiasis treated tumor.
Project description:HIKESHI has been reported to function as a nuclear carrier protein for Hsp70 under heat-stress conditions. Functional suppression of this protein has also been shown to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to heat. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancement of thermosensitivity in HIKESHI-suppressed cells remain unclear. In this study, we identified differentially expressed genes associated with the enhancement of thermosensitivity resulting from HIKESHI knockout in human oral squamous cell carcinoma HSC-3 cells, using GeneChip® oligonucleotide microarrays.

Project description:Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is recognized as the major regulator of the heat shock transcriptional response, and also plays a central role in the cellular functions of cancer cells. Here, to identify the molecular mechanism by which HSF1 regulates the proliferation of cancer cells, comparative gene expression analysis was performed with mock and HSF1-knockdown cells. Silencing of HSF1 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma HSC-3 cells was carried out by siRNA technology and the expression of HSF1 was confirmed by Western blotting. Gene expression was analyzed using GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays and computational gene expression analysis tools. HSF1 knockdown significantly decreased the number of viable cells. Of the 54,675 probe sets analyzed, 221 probe sets were up-regulated and 423 probe sets were down-regulated by >2-fold in HSF1-knockdown cells. HSC-3 human oral squamous carcinoma cells were treated with siRNA for HSF1 or luciferase. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells. Gene expression was analyzed by an Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. system with a Human Genome U133-plus 2.0 array. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions.
