Project description:The epigenetic regulator LSD1 is overepxpressed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). HCI-2509 a LSD1 inhibitor leads to growth arrest in in vitro tumor models. To identify the underlying molecular mechanims behind LSD1 overexpression, we examined the gene expression patterns using microarray in the LUAD cell line PC9 after HCI-2509 treatment
Project description:Lysine-Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1) over-expression correlates with poorly differentiated neuroblastoma and predicts poor outcome despite multimodal therapy. We have studied the efficacy of reversible and specific LSD1 inhibition with HCI-2509 in neuroblastoma cell lines and particularly the effect of HCI-2509 on the transcriptomic profile in MYCN amplified NGP cells. Cell survival assays show that HCI-2509 is cytotoxic to poorly differentiated neuroblastoma cell lines in low micromole or lower doses. Transcriptional profiling of NGP cells treated with HCI-2509 shows a significant effect on p53, cell cycle, MYCN and hypoxia pathway gene sets. HCI-2509 results in increased histone methyl marks and p53 levels along with cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and inhibition of colony formation of NGP cells. Our findings indicate that LSD1 inhibition with HCI-2509 has a multi-target effect in MYCN amplified high-risk neuroblastoma cells.
Project description:Inhibition of LSD1 is a novel option for treatment of lung cancer. Using HCI-2509, a specific inhibitor of LSD1, results in a cell cycle arrest as wel as a shift in global histone 3 lysine 4 and lysine 9 dimethylation pattern. Using microarrays we aim to illucidate the changed transcriptome upon treatement of HCI-2509 in lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.
Project description:This study investigates the effect of NCAPD2 knockdown on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) by performing RNA sequencing on PC9 cell lines. The experiment included three control PC9 cells and three PC9 cells in which NCAPD2 was knocked down using shRNA. This RNA sequencing experiment aims to elucidate the role of NCAPD2 in regulating gene expression associated with tumor proliferation, migration, and survival in LUAD. Analysis of differential gene expression provides insights into the pathways affected by NCAPD2 knockdown, with an emphasis on signaling pathways critical to LUAD progression, such as the PI3K/AKT pathway.
Project description:Targeting drug tolerant persister (DTP) cells may present a therapeutic opportunity to eliminate residual surviving tumor cells and impede relapse. We sought to identify therapeutically exploitable vulnerabilities in DTP cells using the EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer cell line PC9 as an experimental model. Here we provide RNAseq gene expression profiling data generated from parental PC9 cells compared to PC9 DTP cells generated from nine days of treatment with 2 uM osimertinib. These data can be used to identify genes and pathways which are upregulated in DTP cells, revealing potential therapeutic targets.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to define biomarkers of sensitivty and mechanisms of resistance to the KDM1A/LSD1 inhibtor SP-2509 (HCI-2509) in Ewing sarcoma cell lines. We report that regardless of drug sensitivity all cell lines engage the UPR and ER-stress response following treatment with SP-2509 resulting in apoptotic cytotoxicity. In addition hypersentsitive cell lines shared a common basal transcriptnomic profile, with hypersensitive cell lines signficantly inducing ETS1 which was not observed in sensitive cell lines.
Project description:To investigate the abnormal gene expression in Osimertinib Resistance lung cancer cell line, We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of PC9 cell line and PC9-OR cell line.
Project description:Inevitable gefitinib resistance and relapse of the disease was the biggest hurdle to NSCLC treatment. Importantly, the role of hypoxia in solid tumor tissues in vivo in gefitinib acquired resistance and its relationship to lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs) has not been fully elucidated. Here, the PC9 cells were treated with short term gefitinib or/and hypoxia, also, PC9 gefitnib resistant (PC9-GR) cell line was established and ALDH positive PC9 cells were sorted by FACs. Transcriptome analysis among those PC9 cell groups revealed the important role of hypoxia in gefitinib acquired resistance and signaling transduction change, which may critical for NSCLC disease progression and recurrence.
