Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: ChIP-seq for H3K9me3 was performed in A2780 (platinum sensitive) and A2780cis (platinum resistant) cells and in sensitive A2780 cells with shRNA induced knockdown of FLYWCH1.
Project description:Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is a clinical challenge in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) and limits survival. Therefore, innovative drugs against platinum-resistance are urgently needed. Our therapeutic concept is based on the conjugation of two chemotherapeutic compounds to a monotherapeutic pro-drug, which is taken up by cancer cells and cleaved into active cytostatic metabolites. Here, we explore the activity of the duplex-prodrug 5-FdU-ECyd, covalently linking 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5-FdU) and 3'-C-ethynylcytidine (ECyd), on platinum-resistant OC cells. RNA-Sequencing was used for characterization of 5-FdU-ECyd treated platinum-sensitive A2780 and isogenic platinum-resistant A2780cis.
Project description:ChIP-seq for H3K27ac or H3K9ac was performed in different platinum sensitive and resistant epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines and in sensitive A2780 cells with shRNA induced knockdown of MBD3.
Project description:RNAseq in sensitive A2780 cells with shRNA induced knockdown of FLYWCH1 and resistant A2780cis cells with induced overexpression of FLYWCH1.
Project description:To determine the signaling networks that are dysregulated in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, gene expression data were obtained from, and compared between, the ovarian cancer cell line, A2780, and its cisplatin-resistant derivative, A2780cis. Gene expression data from a cisplatin-sensitive ovarian cancer cell line (A2780) were collected and compared to gene expression data from a cisplatin-resistant cell line (A2780cis). 6 independent experiments were completed for both the sensitive and resistant cell lines.
Project description:Platinum resistance is a major drawback in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Evidence suggests that microRNAs are key players in the initiation, progression, and drug resistance of cancer cells. However, the precise miRNAs dysregulated and contributing to platinum resistance in ovarian cancer cells have not been fully elucidated. Here, we conducted a miRNA expression profiling of cisplatin-sensitive (A2780) and cisplatin-resistant (CP20 and CIS) ovarian cancer cells to identify potential miRNAs involved in platinum resistance.
Project description:The objective of this work was to identify potential cancer biomarkers by analyzing microarray and protein expression data from platinum-sensitive and -resistant ovarian cancer patient samples. The gene expression profiles of the samples were ompared based on platinum sensitivity status and PARP levels.
Project description:Resistance to platinum compounds represents a major obstacle to the cure of ovarian carcinoma. The molecular profiling of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cells may be helpful to clarify if altered expression of miRNAs can contribute to the drug-resistant phenotype. The expression pattern of miRNAs of three ovarian carcinoma cell lines was examined. The analysis revealed the modulation of several miRNAs in the two platinum-resistant cell lines as compared to parental platinum-sensitive cells. The integration of the information obtained through miRNA expression analysis may be useful to clarify the specific molecular alterations of factors and pathway favouring survival of tumor cells.
