Project description:Transcriptional profiling of isogenic human colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116, comparing parental cells, CDK2 knockout cells, cells treated with the CDK2-selective inhibitor NU6102 and cells resistant to 50µM NU6102. The aim was to compare effects of loss of CDK2 gene or kinase activity and determine potential mechanisms of inhibitor-resistance
Project description:HT-29 and HCT-116 cells were barcoded using the CloneTracker lentiviral barcode library and then dabrafenib and irinotecan resistant derivatives of these cell lines were established, respectively.10 million barcoded HT-29 and HCT-116 cells were seeded equally onto poly-HEMA coated 4xT75 flask (DMSO Control, Replica A, B, C for each drug). After seeding, cells were allowed to form spheroids and barcoded 3D-HT-29 spheroids were treated with dabrafenib at increasing doses starting from IC50/10 dose until IC50/2 dose with monthly doubling of the dosing (16 weeks), and barcoded 3D-HCT-116 cells were treated with irinotecan at increasing doses starting from IC50/4 dose until IC50 dose with weekly doubling of the dosing (4 weeks). Following the end points of treatment for each cell line, DNA was isolated from harvested cell lines and barcode sequencing and whole exome sequencing were carried out.
Project description:Chemotherapeutics cause the detachment and death of adherent cancer cells. When studying the proteome changes to determine the protein target and mechanism of action of anticancer drugs, the still-attached cells are normally used, while the detached cells are usually ignored. Here we tested the hypothesis that proteomes of detached cells contain valuable information and therefore separately analyzed the proteomes of detached and attached HCT-116, A375 and RKO cells obtained 48 h after treatment with 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate and paclitaxel. Combined proteome data provided a more accurate identification of drug targets. Six proteins consistently up- or down-regulated in the detached vs attached cells regardless of the drug and cell type were targeted by siRNA. Knocking down USP11, CTTN, ACAA2 and EIF4H had anti-proliferative effects, targeting UHRF1 additionally sensitized the cells to the anticancer drugs, while knocking down RNF-40 increased cell survival against the treatments. Therefore, these proteins are likely to be involved in general cell death and survival decisions. Adding detached cells to the analysis could become a standard practice in expression proteomics of drug-treated cells.
Project description:Gene expression in HCT-116 cells infected with shCtrl and shRFWD3 was detected with a PrimeView human gene expression array. We performed Affymetrix Human Gene Chip Prime View analysis on shCtrl and shRFWD3 HCT 116 cells. Of the 1305 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) found in shRFWD3 and shCtrl HCT 116 cells, 629 were up-regulated and 676 were down-regulated based on the threshold of absolute fold change ≥ 2 and FDR < 0.05

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived HCT-116 cell transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to microarray and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) methods and to evaluate protocols for optimal high-throughput data analysis. Methods: HCT-116 cell mRNA profiles of HCT-116-GOLPH3-Vector and HCT-116-GOLPH3-Overepression were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to investigate gene expression in HCT-116-PMSCV-Vector and HCT-116-PMSCV GOLPH3 cells, while Gene Ontology (GO) was used to annotate the various functional genes. By comparing the differentially expressed genes, we noticed that GOLPH3 was associated with EMT. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) analysis of the RNA-seq results based on the GSE77953 dataset was performed to investigate the biological functions of HCT-116-PMSCV-Vector and HCT-116-PMSCV-GOLPH3 cells. The findings suggested that GOLPH3 expression was positively associated with colon cancer cell autophagy. Signal pathway enrichment was next analyzed based on the differential expression of genes between HCT-116-PMSCV-Vector and HCT-116-PMSCV-GOLPH3 cells, as examined by RNA-seq. Notably, GOLPH3 has correlated with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of HCT-116 cell transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.
Project description:We analyzed, by HTA 2.0, colorectal adenocarcinoma samples and matched normal colonic tissues in order to determine the whole transcriptome expression levels. Three widely used colorectal cancer cell lines (Caco-2, HT-29,HCT-116), one human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) and one human prostate adenocarcinoma cell line (PC3) were also analyzed. Results provided insights into the regulation, at transcript level, of genes involved in copper homeostasis.
