Differential gene expression analysis related to extracellular matrix components in drug-resistant RPMI-8226 cell line

2012-4
Drug resistance remains a major obstacle to the successful use of chemotherapeutic drugs for many types of cancers including multiple myeloma. It is becoming increasingly apparent that tumor microenvironment could provide a shelter to malignant plasma cells that allow their survival after initial drug exposure. This study demonstrates alterations in gene expression levels of several extracellular matrix (ECM) components in prednisone, vincristine and melphalan-resistant RPMI-8226 myeloma cells. Resistant RPMI-8226 cells were developed through stepwise selection of cells by increasing concentrations of drugs. Microarray analysis was carried out and genes up-or downregulated more than two-folds were considered as significant. Different types of ECM components were altered in different drug resistant RPMI-8226 sublines. ITGAL and ITGB2 were both overexpressed in vincristine resistant cell line whereas they were both downregulated in prednisone resistant subline. On the other hand, LAMC1 gene was drastically overexpressed in prednisone resistant subline whereas it was downregulated in its melphalan resistant variant. FN1 gene was only upregulated in vincristine resistant cells. However, COL21A1 which is an ECM component of the blood vessel walls, was drastically downregulated in all of the drug resistant RPMI-8226 sublines. ADAM17 gene was upregulated in melphalan resistant subline. This report provides a preliminary in vitro study to the relationship between drug resistance and ECM components in multiple myeloma. Since in vitro developed drug-resistant multiple myeloma sublines do not have similar microenvironment of tumor cells, correlation of ECM proteins with drug resistance requires further analysis.

Expression analysis of TOP2A, MSH2 and MLH1 genes in MCF7 cells at different levels of etoposide resistance
Kaplan, Esra; Gündüz, Ufuk (2012-02-01)
Purpose: Development of resistance against anti-cancer drugs is one of the major obstacles of chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer. Etoposide is a topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A) inhibitor, which is used in the treatment of breast cancer. Alterations in the expression of drug targets or DNA repair genes are among the important resistance mechanisms against TOP2A inhibitors. In this study, expression changes in TOP2A gene and two important mismatch repair (MMR) genes MSH2 and MLH1 were examined in order to...
Reversal of multidrug resistance in mcf-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell line by silencing interleukin 6 with RNA interference
Çakmak, Neşe; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2013)
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is characterized by development of resistance to several unrelated drugs upon long time administration of a certain type of chemotherapeutic agent. In doxorubicin resistant MCF-7 cell line, resistance is developed mainly by upregulation of MDR1 gene which encodes an ABC transporter protein known as P-glycoprotein. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine which acts as a growth factor for certain cell types including some cancer cells. IL-6 is found at high levels in cancer pat...
INVESTIGATION OF CLONAL EVOLUTION IN CAPECITABINE RESISTANT CACO-2 AND IRINOTECAN RESISTANT HT-29 CELL LINES BY USING CELLULAR BARCODING TECHNOLOGY
Danışık, Nurseda; Acar, Ahmet; Özen, Can; Department of Biotechnology (2022-10-31)
The development of drug resistance in tumor cells is one of the biggest problems currently in the clinic. As the pace of drug discovery slows and each new drug becomes increasingly expensive to bring to market, it is becoming clearer that better model systems and an understanding of drug resistance mechanisms are needed for second-line therapies. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the clonal evolution and drug resistance in colorectal cancer cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29 by using cellular barco...
Synthesis of poly (dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) coated magnetic nanoparticles for anti-cancer drug delivery
Tansık, Gülistan; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2012)
One of the main problems of current cancer chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity of anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells which leads to systemic toxicity and adverse side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, researches on controlled drug delivery systems have gained much attention. Nanoscale based drug delivery systems provide tumor targeting. Among many types of nanocarriers, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with their biocompatible polymer coatings can be targeted to an intented site by an extern...
