Project description:To understand the molecular basis of the acquisition of 5-FU resistance in gastric cancer stem cells, we established 5-FU-resistant gastric cancer organoids. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying 5-FU resistance and maintenance of stem cell properties in gastric cancer.
Project description:Despite the efforts in defining the molecular mechanisms for the drug resistance in colorectal cancers, little is known about the roles of microRNAs. With microarray containing 723 microRNAs, we examined effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the microRNA expression. Respond to 5-FU, we identify two microRNAs, miR-19b and miR-21, that were differentially expressed in 5-FU resistant colon cancer cells derived from KM12C and DLD-1.
Project description:In the present study, we investigated miRNA expression changes caused by aquired chemoresistance to 5-FU or Oxa. 40 and 14 miRNAs were detected as differentially expressed in 5-fluouracil- and oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal HCT116 sublines, respectively. Differentially expressed miRNAs determined in the present study could be applied for further development of diagnostic and therapeutic applications for colorectal cancer carcinoma resistant to 5-FU or Oxa.

DLD-1, DLD-1/R, KM12C, and KM12C/R cells were plated at 1 × 105 cells/well. After pre-culture, cells were treated with 60 uM of 5-FU for 72 h. This was the same condition as the analysis of cell cycle. RNAs were collected before (0 h) and after the treatment of 5-FU (72 h).
Project description:We established human colorectal tumor organoids from benign adenoma, primary colorectal cancer or metastasized colorectal cancer. The gene signature of tumor organoids associated with their tumor progression status. We also generated genome-edited organoids from human intestinal organoids recapitulating adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Gene expression signature of the genome engineered organoids were similar to that of adenoma organoids. This result indicated multiple (up to five) genetic mutations were insufficient for gene expression reprogramming of colorectal cancer. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in human colorectal tumor organoids and artificially mutation introduced organoids. To assess the expression profiling of genome-engineered organoids, we prepared total-RNA from cultured adenoma, carcinoma and genome-engineered organoids. We produced two types of genome-engineered organoids using the CRISPR/Cas9 or lentivirus vector system. Each engineered gene and engineered methods are described as a single alphabet and method name, respectively, in the sample characteristics field. The abbreviations for the engineered genes are as follows. 1) Genome-engineered organoids with CRISPR/Cas9 A = APC deletion; K = KRAS G12V knock in; S = Smad4 deletion; T = TP53 deletion; P = PIK3CA E545K knock in. 2) Genome-engineered organoids with Lent virus vector B = CTNNB1 S33Y overexpression; K = KRAS G12V overexpression; S = Smad4 shRNA overexpression; T = TP53 shRNA overexpression; P = PIK3CA E545K overexpression.
