Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE23440: Gene expression profiling of IGROV1 cells after in vitro treatment with ascitic fluid from human ovarian cancer bearing mice GSE23441: IGROV1 gene expression analysis after in vivo locoregional treatment with CpG-ODN GSE23442: Gene expression profile of IGROV1 cells after in vitro treatment with CpG-ODN Refer to individual Series
Project description:CpG-ODN is a potent immuno-stimulatory molecule. In order to exclude a direct effect of murine CpG-ODN on IGROV1 human ovarian cancer cell line a gene expression experiment was performed.
Project description:CpG-ODN is a potent immuno-stimulatory molecule. In order to exclude a direct effect of murine CpG-ODN on IGROV1 human ovarian cancer cell line a gene expression experiment was performed. The ovarian cancer cell line IGROV-1 was obtained from the ATCC (Rockville, MD). Cells were routinely maintained in RPMI medium 1640 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with 10% FCS (Sigma) and 2 mM glutamine (Cambrex, East Rutherford, NJ). Cells were maintained at 37°C in a water-saturated atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. 1x106 IGROV-1 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and, after seeding, cells were treated with 10uM of CpG-ODN in culture medium [phosphorothioated ODN1826 (5’-TCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT-3’), TriLink Biotechnologies (San Diego, CA, USA)] for 24 hours. At the end of treatment, cells were collected and RNA extracted.
Project description:We reported that peri-tumoral CpG-ODN treatment, probably activating TLR9-expressing cells present in the tumor microenvironment, sensitized cancer cells to DNA-damaging chemotherapy (Cancer Res 2011 Oct 15;71(20):6382-90). Here, we investigated whether this treatment induces a modulation of miRNAs and their involvement in chemotherapy sensitivity. Twenty miRNAs were found differentially expressed in tumors from CpG-ODN-treated mice versus controls. Evaluation of the role of miR-424, miR-340 and miR-302b on cisplatin sensitivity revealed that ectopic expression of miR-302b (up-modulated in our array) in IGROV1 cells significantly improved cisplatin activity. The identification of miRNAs able to modify sensitivity to chemotherapy treatment will provide an experimental base for its future possible use as a target or tool of specific therapies. IGROV1 human ovarian carcinoma cells were adapted to growth intraperitoneally (i.p.) and maintained by serial i.p. passages of ascitic cells into healthy mice. Mice were injected i.p. with 2.5 x 10^6 ascitic cells in 0.2 ml of saline and treated starting 10-11 days later, when mice showed evident and established ascites, with CpG-ODN [phosphorothioated ODN1826 (5'-TCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT-3')] delivered i.p. at a dose of 20 µg/mouse for 3 consecutive days, control mice received saline (4 mice/group). 24 hours after the last treatment, ascites-bearing mice were sacrificed. Tumor cells adherent to peritoneal wall were collected and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until RNA extraction.
Project description:Immunostimulatory CpG ODN trigger an innate immune response characterized by the rapid production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, an effect that persists for days to weeks in vivo. Previous studies established that gene up-regulation is maximal 3 hr after CpG ODN treatment of normal mice {Klaschik et al. JLB 2009}. The immunostimulatory activity of CpG ODN is blocked by the addition of immunosuppressive ODN expressing multiple TTAGGG motifs. To clarify the mechanism underlying this suppression, changes in gene expresssion were evaluated by microarray in mice treated with 400 ìg of CpG ODN + 400 ìg of suppressive ODN.

Data from 4 independent biological replicates/time point and treatment group and 6 untreated controls were used for all statistical analyses. A reference design was used. Reference cDNA vs. sample cDNA were hybridized to same array.
