Project description:HCT116 cells were treated with with increasing concentrations of trametinib over 2 months. Drug-resistant clones emerged and were cultured in the presence of 30 nmol/L trametinib. These cells exhibited a greater than 10-fold increase in the GI50 for trametinib compared to the parental cell line. RNA-seq of the resistant clone HCT116_R4 versus the parental cells identified differentially expressed genes potentially involved in resistance.
Project description:Cisplatin resistance is a problem in cancer treatment. Using DNA microarray, we detected differentially expressed genes in cisplatin-resistant cervix carcinoma HeLa cells compared to parental cells. Three cisplatin resistant cell lines were established by stepwise increasing cisplatin concentration. RNA from these resistant lines and its parental HeLa cells were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3. Equal amount of RNA from resistant cell line and HeLa were mixed and were hybridized to cDNA array. Signals were scanned and analyzed to find out the candidate genes involved in cisplatin resistant mechanism.
Project description:Differential gene expression analysis of parental and resistant sub-lines of melanoma cell lines treated or untreated with PLX4032 Using microarray we sought to obtain a genome-wide profile of differentially expressed genes in parental melanoma cell lines and resistant sub-lines in response to PLX4032 vs DMSO control treatment.
Project description:MicroRNA expression in paclitaxel (PTX)-resistant SKpac sublines was compared to that of the PTX-sensitive, parental SKOV3 ovarian cancer cell line using microarray and real-time RT-PCR. The function of differentially expressed microRNAs in chemoresistant ovarian cancer was further evaluated by apoptosis, cell proliferation, and migration assays.
