ABSTRACT: To identify genes activated under hypoxia (1%O2) and serum-free treatment of a cancer cell line, we performed cDNA microarray analysis with an ovarian cancer cell line, OVSAYO.
Project description:To identify genes activated under hypoxia (1%O2) and serum-free treatment of a cancer cell line, we performed cDNA microarray analysis with an ovarian cancer cell line, OVSAYO. Cells were cultured under normoxia /hypoxia (1%O2) and serum-plus/serum-minus conditions for 16 hours. Total RNA was isolated for cDNA microarray analysis.
Project description:Hypoxia leads to significant changes at the histone modification marks, including increasing methylation of H3K4, H3K9 and H3K27. However, the overall effect on chromatin accessibility is not fully understood. Here, we employed an ATACseq method on PFA-fixed mouse glioma cell line GL261to test the genomewide chromatin accessibility changes in response to two hypoxic conditions: moderate hypoxia (1% O2) and severe hypoxia (<0.1% O2).
Project description:To delineate the role of hypoxia in esophageal epithelial biology, we carried out gene array experiments using a non-transformed immortalized diploid human esophageal cell line, EPC2-hTERT (Mol Cancer Res. 2003;1:729-38). Unlike cancer cell lines, EPC2-hTERT has no genetic alterations at early passages that may affect the cellular response to hypoxia. Experiment Overall Design: EPC2-hTERT cells were exposed to moderate (1% O2) hypoxia in experiment 1 (Exp1) or severe (0.2% O2) hypoxia in experiment 2 (Exp2). Normoxia (21% O2) served as a control in both experiments.
Project description:To identify genes activated under serum starvation and hypoxia condition in an SREBP1 dependent manner, we performed cDNA microarray analysis with an ovarian cancer cell line OVSAYO.
Project description:Tumor hypoxia affects the aggressiveness and therapy response in solid tumors, including HPV-positive cancers. Cycling hypoxia, characterized by recurrent fluctuations in oxygen supply, is a prevalent, but much less investigated form of tumor hypoxia, and has been associated with a particularly therapy-resistant cancer cell subpopulation. Using mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteome analyses, we compare SiHa cells cultivated under normoxia (21% O2), physoxia (5.5% O2), chronic hypoxia (1% O2) and cycH (repeated cycles of 1 h at 1% O2 and 1 h at 5.5% O2) and assess distinct effects of cycH on the phenotype of HPV-positive cervical cancer cells.
Project description:We investigated the effect of low oxygen culture on the proliferation and hair inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dermal sheath cells (DSCs). DPCs and DSCs were cultured in atmospheric/hyperoxia (20% O2), physiological/normoxia (6% O2), or hypoxia (1% O2) conditions, respectively. Proliferation of DPCs and DSCs was highest under normoxia. Hypoxia inhibited proliferation of DPCs but enhanced proliferation of DSCs. In DPCs, hypoxia down-regulated expression of hair inductive capacity-related genes, including BMP4, LEF1, SOX2, and VCAN, and normoxia up-regulated expression of ALP. In DSCs, both normoxia and hypoxia up-regulated SOX2 expression, and hypoxia down-regulated BMP4 expression. Microarray analysis revealed increased expression of pluripotency-related genes, including SPRY, NR0B1, MSX2, IFITM1, and DAZL, under hypoxia. In an in vivo hair follicle reconstitution assay, cultured DPCs and DSCs were transplanted with newborn mouse epidermal keratinocytes into nude mice using a chamber method. In DPCs, normoxia allowed the most efficient induction of hair follicles. In DSCs, hypoxia allowed the most efficient induction and maturation of hair follicles. These results suggest that low oxygen culture enhances the proliferation and maintains functions of human DPCs and DSCs and could be used for skin engineering and clinical applications.

Project description:Purpose: To study differential mRNA and precursor miRNA expression under hypoxia exposure in cancer cells. We treated ovarian cancer cell line A2780 under hypoxia condition at different time points. Normoxi acultured cells at corresponding time point were used as controls.
Project description:To identify genes involved in survival to prolonged hypoxia we exposed HCT116 to hypoxia for 3 days. Control cells were exposed to normoxic conditions. HCT116 colon cancer cells were serum starved and exposed to hypoxia (1%O2) or normoxia (21%O2) for 3 days.
Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, with glioma initiating cells (GICs) implicated to be critical for tumor progression and resistance to therapy. The hypoxic tumor microenvironment has been shown to play an important role to maintain the GICs; however, the mechanisms regulating responses of GICs to hypoxia remain poorly understood. We used microarray to to detail the global change of gene expression in GICs cultured under hypoxia compared to normoxia and identified de-regulated genes during hypoxia. CD133+ D456MG GICs were cultured under 1% O2 or 20% O2 for 12 hours. Then RNA was extracted and gene expression was profiled by microarray.
