Project description:Resveratrol, a natural phytoestrogen found in red wine and a variety of plants, is reported to have protective effects against lung cancer, however there is very little work directed towards the understanding of the mechanism of action of resveratrol in lung cancer. In this study we used an experimental approach to understand the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of resveratrol in A549 lung cancer cells. Gene expression profiles were compiled using an oligonucleotide microarray to determine altered expression levels in resveratrol treated cells. Keywords: Genetic modification of A549 cells in response to resveratrol
Project description:Resveratrol, a natural phytoestrogen found in red wine and a variety of plants, is reported to have protective effects against lung cancer, however there is very little work directed towards the understanding of the mechanism of action of resveratrol in lung cancer. In this study we used an experimental approach to understand the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of resveratrol in A549 lung cancer cells. Gene expression profiles were compiled using an oligonucleotide microarray to determine altered expression levels in resveratrol treated cells. Experiment Overall Design: A549 cells were treated with resveratrol (25microM) or with ethanol control for 48 h. 4 samples in all were hybridized to the affymetrix chip, one control sample and 3 replicates of the resveratrol treated sample. Experiment Overall Design: Gene ontology-based gene lists are supplied in a supplementary file (Genelists.txt) at the foot of this record.
Project description:41 lung adenocarcinoma from never-smokers hybridized on Illumina SNP arrays on 13 HumanCNV370-Quadv3 chips. High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization analysis of lung adenocarcinoma in 41 never smokers for identification of new minimal common regions (MCR) of gain or loss. The SNP array analysis validated copy-number aberrations and revealed that RB1 and WRN were altered by recurrent copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity.The present study has uncovered new aberrations containing cancer genes. The oncogene FUS is a candidate gene in the 16p region that is frequently gained in never smokers. Multiple genetic pathways defined by gains of MYC, deletions of RB1 and WRN or gains on 7p and 7q are involved in lung adenocarcinoma in never smokers. A 'Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs' (CIT) project from the French National League Against Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net) 41 samples hybridized on Illumina SNP arrays.
