Recently a lot of experiment were developed based on primary cell culture models, including several species of mammals, organs and tissues. The results from these studies revealed the differences in cells proliferation ability in vitro, which is significantly related to the type of tissue originated cells.

View SamplesThe proper mammalian oocytes maturation is recognized as reaching MII stage and accumulation of mRNA and proteins in cell cytoplasm following fertilization. The proper course of folliculogenesis and oogenesis is orchestrated with morphogenesis significantly influencing further zygote formation and embryos growth. This study was aimed to determinate new transcriptomic markers of porcine oocytes morphogenesis associated with cell maturation capacity.

View SamplesThe most experiments about buccal pouch mucosal cells were investigated in mice and hamster. In these studies we have used porcine buccal pouch mucosal cells cultured primarily in vitro to investigate the expression profile of new molecular markers of mucosal wounding, vascularization and proliferation.

View SamplesThe development of cytostatic-drug resistance renders chemotherapy ineffective in treating ovarian cancer, the most lethal gynaecological malignancy. In many cases, it is difficult to explain the development of drug resistance based on the expression patterns of genes known to be involved in this process. Microarray-based assays can provide information about new genes that are involved in the resistance to cytostatic drugs. This report describes alterations in the level of expression of genes in cisplatin- (CisPt), doxorubicin- (Dox), topotecan- (Top), and paclitaxel- (Pac) resistant variants of W1 and A2780 ovarian cancer cell lines. These drug-resistant variants of the W1 and A2780 cell lines were generated through the stepwise selection of cells tolerant of exposure to the indicated drugs at incrementally increased concentrations. Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome Array Strips were used for hybridization assays. The genes with significantly altered expression levels (upregulated by more than fivefold or downregulated by less than fivefold relative to the level in the parental line) in the drug-resistant sublines were selected and were filtered using volcano plotting.

View SamplesIn the ovarian follicle, maturation of the oocyte increases in the presence of somatic cells called cumulus cells (CCs). These cells form a direct barrier between the oocyte and external environment. Thanks to bidirectional communication, they have a direct impact on the oocyte, its quality and development potential. Understanding the genetic profile of CCs appears to be important in elucidating the physiology of oocytes. In this work, CCs were subjected to in vitro long-term culture. RNA was collected after 1, 7, 15 and 30 days of culture. Expression microarrays were used for analysis, which allowed to identify groups of genes characteristic for particular cellular processes.

View SamplesNon Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) causes the premature death of over 1 million people worldwide each year, but remains inadequately understood at the molecular level. To provide new insights for NSCLC treatment we performed a molecular characterisation of wild type and platinum drugs resistance in A549 cells. Transcriptome profiling revealed contrasting patterns of gene expression in sensitive and resistant cells and identified genes whose expression was highly correlated with the platinum drugs. Our results revealed a gene set of 15 transcripts whose expression was highly correlated with platinum-resistance in NSCLC A549 cell lines.

View SamplesHuman tumor cell lines are important tools in tumor biological studies, here the authors report the establishment and characterization of 7 new ccRCC stable cell lines with complete clinical data. Gene expression and methylation were profiled with microarrays between the new cells and those had a finite in vitro life span, and the results prompt that genes such as SLC34A2 and VHL play key roles in the continuous in vitro growth and development of ccRCC.

View SamplesMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an essential component of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment and have shown to support cancer evolution in multiple myeloma (MM). Despite the increasing evidence that MM MSCs differ from their healthy counterparts, little knowledge exists as to whether MSCs independently influence disease outcome. The aim of the present study was to determine the importance of MSCs in disease progression and outcome in MM.
