Project description:The function of cell-cell contact for radiochemosensitivity is unclear. Here, we investigate the role of the E-cadherin/catenin complex proteins under more physiological three-dimensional (3D) cell culture conditions in a panel of CRC cell lines. To gain further insights, differential gene expression was investigated in DLD-1 subpopulations showing distinct morphology and invasion in 3D collagen type I.

Project description:DLD-1 and MOLT-4 cell lines were cultured in a Rotating cell culture system to simulate microgravity and mRNA expression profile was observed in comparison to Static controls Simulated microgravity affected the solid tumor cell line DLD-1 markedly which showed a higher percentage of dysregulated genes compared to the hematological tumor cell line, MOLT-4. Microgravity affects the cell cycle of DLD-1 cells and disturbs expression of cell cycle regulatory gene networks. Multiple microRNA host genes were dysregulated and significantly, mir-22, tumor suppressor microRNA, is highly upregulated in DLD-1.
