Description
Chemotherapeutic use of cisplatin is limited by its severe side effects. In this study, we demonstrated that cisplatin induces cell death in a proximal tubular cell line by suppressing glycolysis- and tricarboxylic acid (TCA)/mitochondria-related genes. HK-2 cells were cultured to confluence in 100mm dishes. Total RNA was extracted (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA), and the concentration in the samples was measured using a Micro UV-Vis fluorescence spectrophotometer (Malcom, Tokyo, JAPAN). Sample of 10g of Total RNA from HK-2 cells were labeled with biotin (3'IVT Labeling Kit, Affymetrix, USA) and hybridized (GeneAtlas Hybridization, Wash, and Stain Kit for 3' IVT Arrays, Affymetrix).
