Project description:Little is known about THOC2 that affect melanoma cell growth,proliferation and invasion siRNAs may be used to address the role of individual gene in these processes. THOC2 RNAi were used to gain a comprehensive overview of all genes involved in cell growth, proliferation, migration and other cellular processes.
Project description:To generate drug signatures in human A375 melanoma cell lines. A375 cell line was plated at 4 x 105 cells/mL overnight and treated with ciclopirox or crizotinib at 75% inhibitory concentrations (IC75, determined previously at 72h of treatment) or DMSO (vehicle) for 8h or 24h before harvest.

A375 cell line was plated at 4 x 105 cells/mL overnight and treated with trifluridine or lactimidomycin at 75% inhibitory concentrations (IC75, determined previously at 72h of treatment) or DMSO (vehicle) for 8h or 24h before harvest.
Project description:Altered expression of miRNAs has been demonstrated in tumor tissue and plasma/serum of cancer patients. miRNAs have been shown to have both diagnostic and prognostic significance and to potentially constitute novel targets and therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. Experimental evidences also support a role of miRNAs in tumor cell response to therapy, including resistance to BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) in melanoma. In this study, miRNA expression pattern was determined in a BRAFV600E melanoma cell line sensitive to the BRAFi dabrafenib (i.e A375) and in its drug-resistant counterpart (i.e. A375R), derived in vitro by culturing the sensitive cell line with progressively increasing concentrations of dabrafenib (from 8 nM to 1.5 mM).
Project description:Skin melanomas are highly aggressive and metastatic. Omomyc is the best MYC inhibitor currently available. We analysed the effect of Omomyc expression in a transgenic and inducible (upon Doxycycline addition) manner in melanoma cells in vitro in A375 (mutated in BRAF) melanoma cell line. We used microarrays to detail the change in the gene expression programs induced by Omomyc on day 4.
Project description:NOS1 plays a vital role in tumor. A cell model of NOS1 gene knockout in human melanoma cell line A375 was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technique for the study of its function. We used microarrays to detail the Global gene expression underlying NOS1-knockout compare to wild type A375 cell.
