Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE23440: Gene expression profiling of IGROV1 cells after in vitro treatment with ascitic fluid from human ovarian cancer bearing mice GSE23441: IGROV1 gene expression analysis after in vivo locoregional treatment with CpG-ODN GSE23442: Gene expression profile of IGROV1 cells after in vitro treatment with CpG-ODN Refer to individual Series
Project description:CpG-ODN is a potent immuno-stimulatory molecule. In order to exclude a direct effect of murine CpG-ODN on IGROV1 human ovarian cancer cell line a gene expression experiment was performed.
Project description:CpG-ODN is a potent immuno-stimulatory molecule. In order to exclude a direct effect of murine CpG-ODN on IGROV1 human ovarian cancer cell line a gene expression experiment was performed. The ovarian cancer cell line IGROV-1 was obtained from the ATCC (Rockville, MD). Cells were routinely maintained in RPMI medium 1640 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with 10% FCS (Sigma) and 2 mM glutamine (Cambrex, East Rutherford, NJ). Cells were maintained at 37°C in a water-saturated atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. 1x106 IGROV-1 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and, after seeding, cells were treated with 10uM of CpG-ODN in culture medium [phosphorothioated ODN1826 (5’-TCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT-3’), TriLink Biotechnologies (San Diego, CA, USA)] for 24 hours. At the end of treatment, cells were collected and RNA extracted.
Project description:Toll-like receptor 9 synthetic agonist oligodeoxynucleotides expressing CpG motifs are currently evaluated for their anti-tumor activity, mainly in association with DNA-damaging drugs. Microarray expression analyses of genes implicates in DNA repair on tumor cells from mice treated with CpG-OD, revealed a down-regulation in tumor cells. These findings provide the first time evidence that immune cells upon TLR9 engagement can sensitize cancer cells to DNA damaging chemotherapy.
Project description:We reported that peri-tumoral CpG-ODN treatment, probably activating TLR9-expressing cells present in the tumor microenvironment, sensitized cancer cells to DNA-damaging chemotherapy (Cancer Res 2011 Oct 15;71(20):6382-90). Here, we investigated whether this treatment induces a modulation of miRNAs and their involvement in chemotherapy sensitivity. Twenty miRNAs were found differentially expressed in tumors from CpG-ODN-treated mice versus controls. Evaluation of the role of miR-424, miR-340 and miR-302b on cisplatin sensitivity revealed that ectopic expression of miR-302b (up-modulated in our array) in IGROV1 cells significantly improved cisplatin activity. The identification of miRNAs able to modify sensitivity to chemotherapy treatment will provide an experimental base for its future possible use as a target or tool of specific therapies.

These findings provide the first time evidence that immune cells upon TLR9 engagement can sensitize cancer cells to DNA damaging chemotherapy. IGROV-1 human ovarian carcinoma cells were adapted to growth intraperitoneally (i.p.) and maintained by serial i.p. passages of ascitic cells into healthy mice as described. Mice were injected i.p. with 2.5 x 106 ascitic cells in 0.2 ml of saline and treated starting 10-11 days later, when mice showed evident and established ascites, with CpG-ODN [phosphorothioated ODN1826 (5’-TCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT-3’), TriLink Biotechnologies (San Diego, CA, USA)]. delivered i.p. at a dose of 20 µg/mouse for 3 consecutive days or 1 time, control mice received saline (4 mice/group). 24 hours after the last treatment with saline or CpG-ODN, ascites-bearing mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Tumor cells adhered to peritoneal wall were collected and extraction immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until RNA extraction.

IGROV1 human ovarian carcinoma cells were adapted to growth intraperitoneally (i.p.) and maintained by serial i.p. passages of ascitic cells into healthy mice.
