Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most-common cancer worldwide causing nearly 600,000 deaths esch year. Approximately 80% of HCC develops on the background of cirrhosis.It is necessary to identify novel genes involved in HCC to implement new diagnostic and treatment options. However, the molecular pathogenesis of HCC largely remains unsolved. Only a few genetic alterations, namely those affecting p53, -catenin and p16INK4a have been implicated at moderate frequencies of these cancers. Early detection of HCC with appropriate treatment can decrease tumor-related deaths

Description
CpG hypermethylation in gene promoters is a frequent mechanism of tumor suppressor gene silencing in various types of cancers. 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (AZA) is a DNA demethylating and anti-cancer agent resulting in induction of genes suppressed via DNA hypermethylation.
Publication Title
Transgelin gene is frequently downregulated by promoter DNA hypermethylation in breast cancer.

Description
Cellular senescence is a tumor suppressor mechanism, and immortalization facilitates neoplastic transformation. Both mechanisms may be highly relevant to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and its molecular heterogeneity. Cellular senescence appears to play a major role in liver diseases. Chronic liver diseases are associated with progressive telomere shortening leading senescence that is observed highly in cirrhosis, but also in some HCC. We previously described the generation of immortal and senescence-programmed clones from HCC-derived Huh7 cell line.

Description
Cholinergic Receptor Nicotinic Alpha 5 (CHRNA5), an important susceptibility locus for nicotine addiction and lung cancer, is not well studied in breast cancer. In our study, CHRNA5 was transiently depleted in MCF7 cells and transcriptomic changes were compared to siRNA controls. We for the first time showed by microarray analysis that silencing of CHRNA5 in MCF7 breast cancer cells, downregulated genes involved in the cell cycle and proliferation while resulting in reduced cell viability, DNA synthesis and G1 growth arrest. In addition, simultaneous treatment of CHRNA5 siRNA and topoisomerase inhibitors showed an important role of CHRNA5 in increased drug sensitivity. Phalloidin stained CHRNA5 siRNA treated cells on the other hand exhibited a distinct cellular morphotype with increased cellular extensions and a transcriptome characterized by mixed expression of epithelial-mesenchymal genes. Through bioinformatics analysis of the public transcriptome data we demonstrated a strong positive association of expression signature of CHRNA5 RNAi with that of a differentiated cell as well as hormone starvation. Hence, our study implicates CHRNA5 as an antiproliferative differentiation marker in breast cancer.
