Bioinformatics was used to identify their chromosomal localizations. A total of 1,237 genes were found to have a difference in expression levels more than eight times. Among them 597 were upregulated [Signal Log Ratio （SLR） ≥3], and 640 genes were downregulated （SLR≤-3）. Except one gene, whose location was unknown, all these genes were randomly distributed on all the chromosomes. However, chromosome 1 contained the most differentially expressed genes （115 genes, 9.3%）, followed by chromosome 2 （94 genes, 7.6%）, chromosome 12 （88 genes, 7.1%）, chromosome 11 （76 genes, 6.1%）, chromosomes X （71 genes, 5.7%）, and chromosomes l7 （69 genes, 5.6%）. These genes were localized on short-arm of chromosome （q）, which had 805 （65.1%） genes, and the short arms of No.13, 14, 15, 21, and 22 chromosomes were the only parts of the chromosomes where the differentially expressed genes were localized. Functional classification showed that most of the genes （306 genes, 24.7%） belonged to the enzymes and their regulator groups. The subsequent group was the nucleic acid binding genes （144 genes, 11.6%）. The rest of the top two groups were signal transduction genes （137 genes, 11.1%） and proteins binding genes （116 genes, 9.4%）. These comprised 56.8% of all the differentially expressed genes. There were also 207 genes whose functions were unknown （16.7 %）. Therefore it was concluded that differentially expressed genes in high metastatic ovarian cancer cell were supposed to be randomly distributed across the genome, but the majority were found on chromosomes 1, 2, 12, 11, 17, and X. Abnormality in four groups of genes, including in enzyme and its regulator, nucleic acid binding, signal transduction and protein binding associated genes, might play important roles in ovarian cancer metastasis. Those genes need to be further studied.展开更多

Methods： RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry were used to investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in 3 clones drug-sensitive and 5 clones drug-resistant ovarian cancer cell. Results： Strong COX-2 mRNA expressions were detected in 3 clones of drug-sensitive cell and weak expressions were detected in 5 clones of drug-resistant cell. The protein expression of COX-2 in drug-sensitive cell was strongly positive reaction in immunocytochemistry stain and there was a weak positive reaction in 5 clones of drug-resistant cell. Conclusion： The expression of COX-2 mRNA in drug-sensitive cell strains is much higher than that in drugresistant strains of ovarian cancer cell lines, providing a basis of the chemoprevention for ovarian cancer.展开更多

Methods cDNA retro-transcribed from equal quantities of mRNA derived from high and low metastatic tumor cells or normal ovarian tissues were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3 fluorescein as probes. The mixed probe was hybridized with two pieces of BioDoor 4096 double dot human whole gene chip and scanned with a ScanArray 3000 laser scanner. The acquired image was analyzed by ImaGene 3.0 software. Results A total of 355 genes with expression levels more than 3 times larger were found by comparing the HO-8910 cell with normal ovarian epithelial cells. A total of 323 genes with expression levels more than 3 times larger in HO-8910PM cells compared to normal ovarian epithelium cells were also detected. A total of 165 genes whose expression levels were more than two times those of HO-8910PM cells compared to their mother cell line (HO-8910) were detected. Twenty-one genes with expression levels 】3 times were found from comparison of these two tumor cell lines.Conclusions cDNA microarray techniques are effective in screening differential gene expression between two human ovarian cancer cell lines (H0-8910PM; HO-8910) and normal ovarian epithelial cells. These genes may be related to the genesis and development of ovarian carcinoma. Analysis of the human ovarian cancer gene expression profile with cDNA microarray may help in gene diagnosis, treatment and prevention.展开更多

Methods： OVCAR-3 cells were cultured in vitro and the membrane receptor ActR II was detected by immunohistochemical method. The OVCAR-3 cells were cultured with 10 ng/ml activin A for 7 d to observe the effects. Activin A at 5, 10, 15 and 20 ng/ml was used separately to treat the OVCAR-3 cancer cells for 24, 48 and 72 h in order to draw the growth proliferation rate curve measured by MTT method. The expression of protein bcl-2 was detected by western-blot. When OVCAR-3 cells were treated with 10 ng/ml activin A and 5 lag/ml DDP for 24, 48 and 72 h, cell apoptosis could be detected by electron microscopy and flow cytometry （FCM）. Results： Positive expression of ActR II was detected. We also found that the proliferation of OVCAR-3 reached to the climax on the 5th day of culture. The experiments showed that the cells treated with activin A increased quickly and grew faster than those in control group. Moreover, OVCAR-3 cells treated with activin A for 48 h proliferated significantly greater than those treated for 24 h or 72 h （P〈0.01）. bcl-2 protein expression increased expression in activin A treated group than in control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Activin A could increase the proliferation of OVCAR-3 cells which may be through bcl-2 anti-apoptosis pathway.展开更多

It has been reported that the paired box 8 (PAX8) gene is involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of human tumors. However, few researchers have investigated this phenomenon in detail. Methods Here, the BioGPS database was used to analyze the expression of the PAX8 gene in normal tissues. The Oncomine database was used to search for PAX8 gene information, and the findings were analyzed via a meta-analysis with regard to the significance of this gene in ovarian cancer. The Kaplan- Meier Plotter database was used to analyze the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) was used only for obtaining cell line analysis data regarding the PAX8 gene. Results The relevant results of the BioGPS database analysis showed that PAX8 is not expressed or under-expressed in normal ovarian tissues. Oncomine data showed 454 different results;there were 417 study samples in total, with 9 results showing a significant statistical difference in PAX8 expression, 5 of which were related to high expression of PAX8 and 4 of which were related to low PAX8 expression. Cell line analysis data of the PAX8 gene obtained from CCLE showed high expression in ovarian cancer, which is consistent with the high expression of PAX8 in ovarian cancer research found using the Oncomine database. The Kaplan-Meier Plotter database showed that the expression level of PAX8 had a significant effect on the overall survival time of patients (P = 0.042). Compared with the low expression group, the overall survival time of ovarian cancer patients in the high expression group of PAX8 was significantly low (P < 0.05). Conclusion Through an in-depth study of the gene information of ovarian cancer-related genes using the gene chip data in the Oncomine database, it was concluded that PAX8 is highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and directly correlates to the prognostic survival of ovarian cancer patients. These findings provide an important basis for the development of clinical gene-targeted cancer therapeutic drugs.展开更多
