Project description:Investigating the effect of Pirfenidone on NSCLC cells Although immune checkpoint and targeted therapies offer remarkable benefits for lung cancer treatment, some patients do not qualify for these regimens or do not exhibit consistent benefit. Provided that lung cancer appears to be driven by transforming growth factor beta signaling, we investigated the single drug potency of Pirfenidone, an approved drug for the treatment of lung fibrosis which is known to inhibit TGFB1 mRNA. Human A549 and H1975 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were stimulated for 6h and 25h with 0.75 mg/ml or 1.5 mg/ml Pirfenidone or the respective volume of PBS as vehicle control. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to transcriptome analysis by microarrays.

Project description:Further to our previous study (E-MTAB-5997), here we performed transcriptome profiling on Anlotinib-resistant NCI-H1975 and Anlotinib-treated Anlotinib-resistant NCI-H1975, and would like to understand the effects of Anlotinib on Anlotinib-resistant NCI-H1975 cell, compare the different transcriptome profiling on NCI-H1975 cells and Anlotinib-resistant NCI-H1975 cells, sought to find the biomarker for explaining Anlotinib resistance.
Project description:Background: Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. It is characterized by prominent extracellular matrix, mesenchymal tumor cell phenotypes and chemoresistance. In this study, the ability of pirfenidone to alter mesothelioma cell proliferation and migration as well as mesothelioma tumor microenvironment was evaluated. Pirfenidone is an anti-fibrotic drug used in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and has also anti-proliferative activities. Aims: Transcriptional profiling using RNA sequencing of human mesothelioma xenograft tumors treated with PBS or pirfenidone. Aim was to compare extracellular matrix and fibrosis related genes. Results: Treatment of mice harboring mesothelioma xenografts with pirfenidone alone did not reduce tumor proliferation in vivo. However, pirfenidone modified the tumor microenvironment by reducing the expression of extracellular matrix associated genes. In addition, GREM1 expression was downregulated by pirfenidone in vivo. Conclusion: By reducing two major upregulated pathways in mesothelioma and by targeting tumor cells and the microenvironment pirfenidone may present a novel anti-fibrotic and anti-cancer adjuvant therapy for mesothelioma.
Project description:Earlier studies had shown that side population cells isolated from established non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines exhibit cancer stem cell properties. Microarray data from side population (SP) and main population (MP) cells isolated from 4 NSCLC lines (A549, H1650, H460, H1975) were used to examine gene expression profiles associated with stemness. Total RNA extracted from SP and MP samples were used to generate cRNA targets, which were hybridized to Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 probe arrays. Raw data was processed and the mean center expression level for each gene was determined. Four cell lines (A549, H1650, H460, H1975), each having 1 SP and 1 MP sample.
