ABSTRACT: Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of tamoxifen-resistant(Tam-R) breast cancer cell line MCF-7. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs.

Project description:Analysis of tamoxifen-sensitivity recovery effect by genes which are regulated by ELOVL2(Elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 2) at gene expression level in breast cancer. This study identifies that ELOVL2 regulates AKT or ER signaling-related genes and ELOVL2 as an essential gene responsible for resistance.

Project description:Epigenetic events have successfully explained the cause of various cancer types, but little is known about tamoxifen resistance (TamR) that induces cancer recurrence. In this study, via genome-wide methylation analysis in MCF-7/TamR cells we show that elongation of very-long chain fatty acid protein 2 (ELOVL2) was hypermethylated and downregulated in the samples from TamR breast cancer patients (n = 28) compared with those from Tam-sensitive (TamS) patients (n = 33) (P < 0.001). Strikingly, in addition to having tumor suppressor activity, ELOVL2 was shown to recover Tam sensitivity up to 70% in the MCF-7/TamR cells and in a xenograft mouse model. A group of genes in the AKT and ERa signaling pathways, e.g., THEM4, which play crucial roles in drug resistance, were found to be regulated by ELOVL2. This study implies that the deregulation of a gene in fatty acid metabolism can lead to drug resistance, giving insight into the development of a new therapeutic strategy for drug-resistant breast cancer.

Project description:DNA methylation array data generated from epidermal samples (suction blister roofs) of healthy female subjects between 21 and 76 years. Aim of the project was the investigation of non-linearities in the human aging progression using an integrative multi-omics analysis. DNA was extracted from suction blisters taken from the volar forearms of each subject, bisulfite converted, and profiled using Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip arrrays.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of sixteen melanoma cell lines. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs from the cell lines at baseline.
