Genome-wide transcriptomic profiling of oxaliplatin response
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a member of the family of Pt-containing chemotherapeutic agents that also include cisplatin (CDDP) and carboplatin. OXA is distinguished from these two older drugs by its different spectrum of activity both in preclinical models and in clinical trials. It is the only platinum analogue to have activity in colon cancer, a disease for which this drug has now become a mainstay of therapy. It mainly forms intrastrand adducts between two adjacent guanine residues or guanine and adenine, disrupting DNA replication and transcription. OXA has been reported to be involved in the Nucleotide Excision Repair Pathway (NER), p38 kinase activation, PI3K/AKT pathway and caspase cascade activation through the apoptotic intrinsic pathway. However, not all colon cancer cells show the same sensitivity to OXA. In this study we have compared the changes in RNA expression profiles of colon cancer cell lines with different sensitivity to OXA, determined by IC50.
