GSE148251 MicroRNA profiling in resistance ovarian cell lines

Contributors : Radoslaw Januchowski ; Dominika Kazmierczak ; Marcin RucinskiSeries Type : Non-coding RNA profiling by arrayOrganism : Homo sapiens ; synthetic constructAlthough many genes associated with the development of resistance to chemotherapy are known, the mechanisms of their regulation are still poorly understood. One of the ways to regulate gene expression is regulation at mRNA level by small noncoding RNA particles – designated as a micro RNA (miRNA). Changes in miRNA expression were also observed in cell line studyes. Downregulation of miR-31 expression correlated with taxane resistance in ovarian cancer cell lines. In contrast upregulation of miR-98-5p was observed in cisplatin (CIS) -resistant cell lines. Changes in miRNAs expression were also noted in another cancers. miR-195 expression was downregulated in temozolomid-resistant glioma cells and miR-203 was downregulated in prostate cancer cells resistant to doxorubicin (DOX).The use of miRNA microarrays to analyse changes in miRNA gene expression is an effective molecular tool for the discovering new miRNA genes involved in drug resistance processes. The present study shows alterations in the miRNA expression levels in the CIS (W1CR), PAC (W1PR1 and W1PR2), DOX (W1DR), and topotecan (TOP) (W1TR) - resistant variants of W1 sensitive ovarian cancer cell line.
