Project description:Eribulin mesylate is a synthetic macrocyclic ketone analog of the marine sponge natural product halichondrin B. Eribulin is a mechanistically unique inhibitor of microtubule dynamics, leading to inhibition of microtubule growth in the absence of effects on microtubule shortening at microtubule plus ends, and formation of nonproductive tubulin aggregates. In this study, we investigated whether selective signal pathways were associated with eribulin activity compared to paclitaxel, which stabilizes microtubules, based on gene expression profiling of cell line panels of breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer in vitro. 21 ovarian cancer cell lines treated with eribulin and paclitaxel for 24 hours at concentration 10xIC50. Three technical replicates were included for eribulin , paclitaxel and untreated cell lines.

Project description:Conventional frontline treatment for ovarian cancer consists of successive chemotherapy cycles of paclitaxel and platinum. Despite the initial favorable responses for most patients, chemotherapy resistance frequently leads to recurrent or refractory disease. New treatment strategies that circumvent or prevent mechanisms of resistance are needed to improve ovarian cancer therapy. We developed in vitro ovarian cancer cell line models of acquired paclitaxel resistance using 2 immortalized human ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR3 and TOV-21G. We also developed in vitro primary ovarian cancer organoid models using tumor tissue from 7 patients with gynecologic malignancies. Gene expression differences in resistant and sensitive lines were analyzed by RNA sequencing to identify potential mechanisms of paclitaxel resistance in primary ovarian cancer.
