Project description:Transcriptional profiling of U937 miR-194-5p (UmiR-194-5p) vs U937 miR-194-5p (UmiR-194-5p) treated with SAHA (Vorinostat; suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) for 24 h at 5uM concetration
Project description:This protocol will investigate the use of vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid - SAHA) in combination with infusional 5-FU and leucovorin for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer patients who have failed standard 5FU regimens.
Project description:This is an investigational study to determine the response rate of relapsed/refractory breast, colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer to oral suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), to evaluate PET as an earlier indicator of response to SAHA as assessed by response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) criteria and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid.
Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to be a potent inducer of apoptosis in various cancer cell lines and primary cancer cells. However, in clinical trials administration of recombinant TRAIL or TRAIL death receptor agonists did not show sufficient efficacy for treatment of tested malignant disorders compared to standard chemotherapy. Acquired resistance of cancer cells to TRAIL and to other âdeath receptorâ ligands may explain not only the inability of TRAIL and TRAIL âdeath receptorâ agonists to achieve the clearance of cancer cells in vivo but also the escape of cancer cells from immune cell â mediated killing. Selective pressure of TRAIL on TRAIL-sensitive Jurkat T-lymphoblastic leukemia cells provided several TRAIL resistant Jurkat cell line clones (TR1, TR2, TR3). Irrespective of molecular changes histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), such as suberoylanilide-hydroxamic acid (SAHA, vorinostat), were able to restore sensitivity of all three TRAIL-resistant clones to TRAIL. Gene expression analysis of TR1 clone treated with SAHA 1microM for 12 hours compared to untreated TR1 clone showed significant decrease in expression of CFLAR/cFLIP (0.71; p=0.006), BIRC5/survivin (0.80; p=0.024) and BID (0.66; p<0.001). Expression of both TRAIL âdeathâ receptors DR4 (1.57; p<0.001) and DR5 (1.47; p=0.002) were significantly increased compared to untreated TR1 cells. The mRNA expression of caspases-2,-3,-8,-9,-10 did not significantly change with the SAHA treatment. Total cellular RNA was isolated from biologic duplicates of untreated Jurkat cells (WT), TRAIL resistant Jurkat cell clone (TR1) and 1 µM and 0.5 µM suberoylanilide-hydroxamic acid (SAHA, vorinostat) treated TR1 cell clones for 12 hours. Jurkat cell line subclones TR1was established by selective pressure of TRAIL 1000 ng/mL on Jurkat cells over the period of 12 weeks.
Project description:Gastric cancer cell line AGS was treated with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) for 24 hours. Microarray analysis was done to explore the differentially expressed genes betweenSAHA treated and control cells.
