Project description:Here, we analyzed global gene expression changes that were associated with pro-metastatic phenotypes in non-small cell lung cancer using the Affymetrix microarray platform. Changes in global gene expression were determined with Affymetrix microarrays in lung cancer cell lines A549 (A) and HTB56 (H). We generated NSCLC lines with highly increased propensity to form tumor nodules in murine lungs after intravenous injections. In addition to the normal cell lines (0R) we analyzed gene expression of the the cell lines after three rounds of in vivo selection towards a highly metastatic phenotype (3R).
Project description:GPX3 has been reported to be involved in antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammation in various studies. It is also known that expression of GPX3 is low in lung cancer tissues. We performed a microarray using three lung cancer cell lines including A549, H1650, and H1975 lung cancer cell lines. Among these, A549 is highly expressed in GPX3 as compared with H1650 and h1975. Microarrays were used to analyze microRNAs showing other expression between A549 and the other two cell lines.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.

Project description:NEDD9 is important for lung cancer metastasis. However, the detailed mechanism remains elusive. Using the microarray data generated with human lung cancer cell lines with either NEDD9 overexpression or NEDD9 knockdown, we plan to idnetify important signal pathways regulated by NEDD9. This may explain how NEDD9 excutes its function in lung cancer. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Human lung cancer cell line A549, which has LKB1 loss-of-function mutation and increased expression of NEDD9, was used for two individual NEDD9 knockdown. Human lung cancer cell line CRL-5907, which has wild-type LKB1 and low NEDD9 expression level, was used for NEDD9 overexpression. The microarray was done in A549 cells, A549 cells with two different NEDD9 knockdown; CRL-5907 cells and CRL-5907 cells with NEDD9 overexpression.
