Influence of Slug/SNAI2 on global gene expression in CRC cells and tumors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To establish the role of Slug in CRC, we created a genetic CRC model for Slug expression. As parental cells, we selected HT-29 cells that display a pronounced epithelial phe-notype. HT-29 cells were transfected with Slug, and two stable Slug-expressing clones. (Slug1, Slug2) were isolated. As transfection control, we used HT-29 cells transfected with empty vector (control). To characterize the influence of Slug on gene ex-pression, transcriptome analysis was performed for the four HT-29 cell lines as well as for the corresponding tumor xenografts. Global expression profiling showed that Slug-overexpressing cells and tumors were clustered together while the parental and control cells and tumors formed a separate cluster. Next, a two-step analysis was carried out. First, a subtractive analysis was carried out comparing the gene profiles of Slug-expressing cells and tumors with the corresponding parental/control samples. Genes were considered to be significantly upregulated by Slug if the fold change (FC) was greater than +2 and downregulated if the fold change was less than −2 with p-values (false dis-covery rates) less than 0.01
