Project description:A summary of the work associated to these microarrays is the following: Background: Phenolic compounds present in coffee are antioxidants in vitro that might protect against cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer in humans. Objective: Our aim was to identify differentially expressed genes upon incubation of HT-29 human colon cancer cells with instant caffeinated coffee (ICC) or caffeic acid (CA) using microarrays. Results: In HT-29 cells incubated with ICC, 77 genes were overexpressed whereas 162 were underexpressed. Upon incubation with CA, 12 genes were overexpressed whereas 33 were underexpressed. A list of five overexpressed genes and eleven underexpressed genes were found in common between the two conditions and was use to construct a biological association network. In the generated network, STAT5B and ATF-2 appeared as highly interconnected nodes. STAT5B overexpression was confirmed at the mRNA and protein levels. For ATF-2, the changes in mRNA levels were confirmed for both ICC and CA, whereas the decrease in protein levels was only observed in CA-treated cells. The levels of cyclin D1, a target gene for both STAT5B and ATF-2 transcription factors, decreased dramatically in breast cancer cells treated with CA or ICC. Conclusions: Coffee polyphenols are able to affect gene expression in cancer cells through the modulation of STA5B and ATF-2 transcription factors. The aim of our study was to evaluate, by using whole genome microarrays, the effects of one cup of coffee, either regular caffeinated coffee or a coffee polyphenol, such as caffeic acid, on HT-29 gene expression, Three experimental approaches were conducted to assess the effects of coffee on HT29 cells. I) Incubation with non cytotoxic concentrations of ICC (7 µg/mL) for 24h. (Group ICC); II) Incubation with non cytotoxic concentrations of CA (1.68 µg/mL) for 24h. (Group CA); III) non treatment of HT-29 to refered as a control (Group CNT). Triplicate samples were hybridized for each experimental condition (9 samples in total). The samples provided were analyzed using the specific software GeneSpring GX.

Project description:Caffeic acid acetophenate exhibits anti-tumor activity. We employed proteomics to investigate the targets of caffeic acid acetophenate in human colon cancer cells. The experimental group consisted of SW480 human colon cancer cells treated with 10μM caffeic acid phenethyl for 24 hours, while the control group was treated with an equivalent volume of DMSO. Non-standard quantitative mass spectrometry was utilized to analyze differentially expressed proteins between the two groups and identify the specific target of caffeic acid acetophenate on colon cancer cells.
Project description:PC-3 prostate cancer cells were treated with caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) or vehicle control for 24 h and 72 h for transcription microarray analysis.
Project description:Our experiments showed that long-term coffee or green tea(GTE) extract supplementation( from 3 months old to 12 months old) ameliorates age-related hearing loss (ARHL) in mice. Then we explored the possible underlying mechanisms through comparing the cochlear transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of the coffee or GTE treated mice to the control mice.
Project description:HUVECs were cultured in hypoxic conditions for 24 hours and treated or not with 1uM caffeic acid. Then cells were evaluated for expression of different genes involved in angiogenesis
