Project description:Determination of the ion channel and transporters gene expression profile of Bevacizumab-adapted colorectal adenocarcinoma cells HCT116
Project description:Background: The efficacy of FOLFIRI plus an antiangiogenesis biologic agent as 2nd line therapy for metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma is limited. TAS-102 is a novel oral antimetabolite with a distinct mechanism of action from fluoropyrimidines. We evaluated the antitumor efficacy of TAS-102, irinotecan and bevacizumab in patients with pre-treated, advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma in a multicenter, phase II, single-arm study. Methods: Patients with advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma who had progressed after oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine and were eligible for treatment with bevacizumab were treated with irinotecan, bevacizumab, and TAS-102 in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: We enrolled 35 evaluable patients. The study was positive. The median PFS was 7.9 (90% CI 6.2-11.8) months (vs. 6 months in historical control, p=0.018). The median overall survival was 16.5 (90% CI 9.8-17.5) months. Sixty-seven percent of patients experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events. The most common toxicities were hematological (neutropenia) and gastrointestinal (diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting). Conclusions: Irinotecan, TAS-102 and bevacizumab is an active 2nd line therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Neutropenia is common and can affect dose density/intensity mandating use of G-CSF. A randomized study versus standard of care therapy is warranted.
Project description:The patients who underwent surgery for primary lesions were examined. All patients had metastatic or recurrent CRC and received bevacizumab therapy as first line or second line treatment. Responders and nonresponders were determined based on RECIST and confirmed by CT or MRI. Gene-expression profiles of primary CRC were determined using Human Genome GeneChip arrays U133. Colorectal cancer patients who had undergone surgical resection of colorectal cancer were studied. To identify molecular signatures to predict response to bevacizumab, gene expression profiles were compared between Reponder and Non-responder.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of hPTTG1-/- HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells comparing hPTTG1-/- HCT116 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1, and with hPTTG1-/- HCT116 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-hPTTG1 plasmid.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of hPTTG1-/- HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells comparing hPTTG1-/- HCT116 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1, and with hPTTG1-/- HCT116 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-hPTTG1 plasmid. Two-condition experiment, pchyg vs. 7-2 and 18-2 cells. 1 control, 2 different transfected cells.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of HCT116 cells transfected with either control siRNA or TET1 siRNA was analyzed using whole human genome microarrays. To identify genes regulated by TET1 in colorectal cancer, HCT116 cells were transfected with either control siRNA or TET1 siRNA, and total RNA was extracted from biologically duplicated samples.
Project description:The experiment was to study the gene expression changes in human colorectal cell HCT116 DICER Exon5 knockout cells comparing to that in parental HCT116 cellls. Experiment Overall Design: Experiment includes using of two Agilent human 44K microarrays with dye-swap replication.
Project description:We showed that a lot of genes were deregulated in colorectal adenocarcinomas in comparison with colorectal adenomas. 37 colorectal adenoma and 9 colorectal adenocarcinoma samples were analyzed. We generated a comparison between adenocarcinomas and adenomas.
