Gene expression profile associated with a cytostatic does of mifepristone in ovarian cancer cells by microarray analysis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Goal of the experiment: To examine differential gene expression in three ovarian cancer cell lines in the absence and presence of mifepristone. Brief description of the experiment: Hypothesis: The gene expression profile associated with a cytostatic response to Mifepristone will be similar between ovarian cancer cells regardless of their p53 status or sensitivity to Cisplatin. Aim: Evaluate the modifications in gene expression profile in ovarian cancer cells in response to a cytostatic concentration of Mifepristone against those in logarithmic phase of growth (Vehicle). Compare the gene expression profile of cells with different genetic backgrounds as well as between those with identical genetic backgrounds but different sensitivities to Cisplatin. Cell Types: SKOV-3 as null p53 and semi-resistant to Cisplatin, OV2008 cells as wild type p53 and hyper-sensitive to Cisplatin , OV2008/C13 cells as wild type p53 and resistant to Cisplatin. Conditions: Cells from three different passages were cultured in T25 flasks. The starting number of cells was 250,000 or 500,000, however cells were left to grow for 48 hr or 24 hr respectively before to start the treatment with Mifepristone 8.6 µg/ml (20 µM) or DMSO (vehicle) for 24 hr.
