Project description:We and others have shown that S100P is highly upregulated during the progression of pancreatic cancer. We used microarrays to look at the target genes regulated by S100P in the pancreatic cancer cell line Panc1. Keywords: Gene overexpression We generated stable cell lines by introducing control vector pcDNA3.1/V5-His or S100P-overexpressing vector pcDNA3.1/S100P-V5-His into the pancreatic cancer cell line Panc1, single cell clones were then isolated. RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We looked for new target genes regulated by S100P.
Project description:Gene profiles from three dasatinib-resistant and three dasatinib-sensitive pancreatic cancer cell lines were compared by microarray analysis. RNA from three dasatinib-resistant (MiaPaCa2, Panc1, SU8686) and three dasatinib-sensitive (Panc0504, Panc0403, Panc1005) pancreatic cancer cell lines were extracted. Biological triplicates were employed for each cell line. Complementary DNA microarray analysis was performed using Illumina Human HT-12 v4 BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA) at the National University of Singapore Core Facility following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Project description:We have compared the genome-wide effects on the transcriptome after treatment with ICG-001 (the specific CBP inhibitor) versus C646, a compound that competes with acetyl-coA for the Lys-coA binding pocket of both CBP and p300. We found that both drugs cause large-scale changes in the transcriptome of HCT116 colon cancer cells and PANC1 pancreatic cancer cells, and reverse some tumor-specific changes in gene expression. Interestingly, although the epigenetic inhibitors affect cell cycle pathways in both the colon and pancreatic cancer cell lines, the WNT signaling pathway was affected only in the colon cancer cells. Notably, WNT target genes were similarly down-regulated after treatment of HCT116 with C646 as with ICG-001. Total RNA obtained from isolated HCT116 or PANC1 cell lines were treated with 10uM ICG-001, 10uM C646, or 0.05% DMSO and collected after 12 or 96 hours.
Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the metabolic and gene expression profile of pancreatic cancer cell line like PANC1 and BXPC-3. Furthermore, to assess the effective sensitivity of cancer cell to metabolic targeting in order to predict their response to therapeutic strategies affecting metabolism. Gene expression profile suggested us some pathway involved in metabolic process that could be used, after validation, as in vivo screening for therapeutic sensitivity.
Project description:To explore the differential genes and signaling pathways regulated by NUSAP1 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, PANC1 cell line was transfected with siRNA or overexpressed plasmid targeted with NUSAP1. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3 different cells.
Project description:NR4A1 (Nur77, TR3) is an orphan nuclear receptor that is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer cells and tumors and exhibits pro-oncogenic activity. Knockdown of NR4A1 by RNA interference (siNR4A1) in Panc1 cells and analysis of the proteome resulted in induction of several markers of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress including glucose-related protein 78 (GRP78), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP), activating transcription factor-3 (ATF-3) and AFT-6. These effects were accompanied by induction of apoptosis and similar results were observed after treatment of pancreatic cancer cells with the known inactivator of NR4A1, 1,1-bis(3’-indolyl)-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)methane (DIM-C-pPhOH). Both siNR4A1 (transfected) and DIM-C-pPhOH also induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induction of ROS and ER stress by these agents was attenuated after cotreatment with antioxidants. Transfection of Panc1 cells with siNR4A1 follow by analysis of gene expression by arrays identified ROS metabolism genes regulated by NR4A1. Knockdown of one of these genes, thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5) also resulted in induction of ROS and ER stress demonstrating that NR4A1 regulates levels of ER stress and ROS in pancreatic cancer cells to facilitate cell proliferation and survival. Inactivation of this receptor by siNR4A1 or DIM-C-pPhOH decreases TXNDC5 resulting in activation of ROS/ER stress and pro-apoptotic pathways and represents a novel pathway for inducing cell death in pancreatic cancer cells. Two groups of samples are included: 1. siControl; 2. siNR4A1 treatment in PAC1 cell. Transfection of Panc1 cells with siNR4A1 follow by analysis of gene expression by arrays identified ROS metabolism genes regulated by NR4A1.
Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process in development and disease. If aberrantly activated it is a trigger for tumour progression and metastasis (Thiery et al 2009 Cell). It is now known that EMT activation is also associated with the maintenance of stem-cell properties (Mani et al. 2008 Cell). Since Zinc-finger enhancer binding transcription factor 1 (ZEB1) is a crucial EMT activator, we analyzed the changes in the gene expression profile that accompany shRNA mediated loss of ZEB1 in Panc1 pancreatic cancer cells. Panc1 is a cell line that exhibits relatively high ZEB1 levels and changes to a more benign phenotype upon ZEB1 knock down (Wellner et al. 2009 Nature Cell Biology). Panc1 cells were stably transfected with control (GFP) or ZEB1 shRNA. Upon puromycin selection, single cell clones were picked and characterized. Cells from two control versus two ZEB1 knockdown clones were harvested, total RNA was isolated and processed to hybridization.
