Project description:Cyclin E1 (CCNE1) is amplified in various tumor types including high-grade serous ovarian cancer where it is associated with poor clinical outcome. We have demonstrate that suppression of the Cyclin E1 partner kinase, CDK2, induces apoptosis in a CCNE1 amplicon-dependent manner. Little is known of mechanisms of resistance to CDK inhibitors. We therefore generated OVCAR-3 sublines with reduced sensitivity to CDK2 inhibitors and profiled by SNP copy number microarrays. Arrayed samples included parental OVCAR-3 cells and five independently derived sublines resistant to PHA-533533 (OVCAR3-533533-R1, -R3, -R5, -R6, -R7). The resistant cell lines were arrayed after drug selection (P5).

The resistant cell lines were arrayed after drug selection (P5) and after continued passage in the absence of inhibitor (P10+).

Project description:The neuroblastoma-derived cell line N2a is permissive to certain prion strains but resistant sublines unable to accumulate the pathological proteinase-K resistant form of the prion protein can be isolated. We compared for gene expression and phenotypes different N2a sublines that were susceptible or resistant to the 22L prion strain. Karyotypes and comparative genomic hybridization arrays revealed chromosomal imbalances but did not demonstrate a characteristic profile of genomic alterations linked to prion susceptibility. Likewise, we showed that this phenotype was not dependent on the binding of PrPres, the expression of the prion protein gene, or on its primary sequence. We completed this analysis by looking using real-time quantitative PCR at the expression of a set of genes encoding proteins linked to prion biology. None of the candidates could account by itself for the infection phenotype, nevertheless sublines had distinct transcriptional profiles. Taken together, our results do not support a role for specific genomic abnormalities and possible candidate proteins in N2a prion susceptibility. They also reveal genetic heterogeneity among the sublines and serve as a guidance for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms of prion infection. In a first approach, CGHa profiles were established for the parental cell line N2apcl, a sensitive (G9) and a resistant (F1) sublines, as compared to A/HeJ mouse strain normal DNA. To allow a more precise description of the differences between N2apcl and six of its derived sub-lines (58, D11, F1, G9, R4, R10), N2apcl DNA was used as reference DNA in a series of CGHa experiments, avoiding the potential copy number polymorphisms between the cell lines and A/HeJ murine DNAs.
