Project description:<p>This study aims to investigate the metabolic alterations associated with acquired tamoxifen (TAM) resistance in luminal A breast cancer cells. Using untargeted LC-MS/MS metabolomics, we compared parental MCF7 and TAM-resistant MCF7/Tam1 cells to identify key metabolic pathways affected by EPAS1 (HIF-2α)-mediated hypoxia-driven reprogramming. The study further evaluates the impact of EPAS1 inhibition by PT2977 on the reversal of these metabolic changes and restoration of TAM sensitivity.</p>
Project description:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.
