Project description:We constructed four single cell transcriptome (SCT) libraries from MCF-7 breast cancer cells and characterized their transcriptome profiles using the expression of 143 housekeeping genes as a control.

Project description:A comparison of different energetics based techniques for the characterization of two mammalian breast cell lines, MCF-7 a luminal A breast cancer cell line and MCF-10A a normal human breast cell line. The techniques of stability of proteins from rates of oxidation (SPROX), thermal proteome profiling (TPP), and conventional expression level analyses were compared and the relative advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
Project description:Human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 is usually sensitive to chemotherapy drug BMS-554417, an insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR) inhibitor. However, through step-wise increase in BMS-554417 doses in culture media, we were able able to screen and select a single MCF-7 clone that is BMS-554417 resistant. It is cross resistant to BMS-536924. This new line of MCF-7 cells was named as MCF-7R4. The transcriptome profiling of both MCF-7 and MCF-7R4 was performed using Affymetrix HG-U133 plus2.0 GeneChip arrays.

Project description:Introduction: In vitro 3-dimension spheroid culture has been widely used as model to enrich CD44+CD24dim/- cancer stem cells with high ALDH1 activity. However, present of the CD24+ population in the 3D spheroid also requests further attention as this side-population of cells may response differently to drug treatment comparing to the cancer stem cells. Methods: In this study, CD24+ population from the MCF-7 spheroid was sorted and subjected to spheroid formation test, stem cell markers immunofluorescence, invasion/migration test, and microRNA expression profiling. MCF-7 CD24+ cells sorted from primary spheroid reform 3D spheroid after longer period of time associated with dim expression of surface SOX-2, CD44, CD49f and Nanog comparing to the primary spheroid. Results: Remarkably, the MCF-7 CD24+ cells was found with high expression of ALDH1 protein, which subsequently contributed to higher resistant against doxorubicin and cisplatin. MicroRNA profiling has shown that absent of cancer stem cell phenotypes were contributed by the downregulation of major cancer stem cells related pathways including Hedgehog, Wnt and MAPK signalling pathways. Besides, resistance of CD24+ cells was correlated to dyregulation of cell death pathway.
