Study Design: Single arm
Project description:To explore the mechanisms underlying the radioresistance of hypopharyngeal carcinoma, we first established specifically radioresistant FaDu cell line (FaDu-RR cells) derived from FaDu cell lines by repeatedly exposing to different doses of ionizing radiation. Then, the aberrantly expressed mRNAs and IncRNAs were detected using microarrays and their bioinformatics were analyzed.
Project description:Nu61, a radiation-resistant human tumor xenograft, was selected from a parental radiosensitive tumor SCC-61 by eight serial cycles of passage in athymic nude mice and in vivo irradiation. Obtained tumors were profiled using Affymetrix U133A arrays. Most abundant gene pattern associated with radioresistant phenotype was presented by IFN-inducible, Stat1-dependent pathway Keywords: Pair-wise comparison of radiosensitive vs radioresistant tumors; time course of irradation response
Project description:microRNA regulates cellular responses to ionizing radiation (IR) through the translational control of target genes. We analyzed time-series changes in microRNA expressions upon γ-irradiation in H1299 lung cancer cell lines using microarray. Significantly changed microRNAs were selected based on ANOVA analysis, target genes of which were enriched to MAPK signaling pathway. Concurrent analysis of mRNA and microRNA uncovered that the expression of miR-26b and its target ATF2 mRNA were inversely correlated in γ-irradiated H1299 cells. The overexpression of miR-26b induced the suppression of ATF2 in γ-irradiated cells. When we inhibit the MAPK signaling pathway using SP600125, JNK inhibitor, the expression of miR-26b was induced even in γ-irradiated H1299 cells. From these results, we concluded that the expression of miR-26b was coordinated regulated by MAPK signaling pathway upon ionizing radiation, and MAPK signaling pathway was regulated by miR-26b in turn. We analyzed the time-series miRNA profiles of radioresistant H1299 cells in response to 2 Gy of ionizing radiation (IR) by performing quadratic regression (QR) analysis to identify genes associated with radioresistance
