Proteomics analyses of ovarian cancer using genetically defined human ovarian cancer models.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a genetically defined human ovarian cancer model, we have analyzed the protein expression profile of human ovarian cancer cells established by oncogenic RAS transformation. Cells were immortalized by retroviral transfection of SV40 t/T antigens and the catalytic subunit of telomerase (hTERT). Careful analyses of protein targets associated with oncogenic transformation have enabled us to identify several novel signaling pathways that play important roles in oncogenic transformation of human ovarian epithelial cells.

Up-regulation of tumor susceptibility gene 101 protein in ovarian carcinomas revealed by proteomics analyses.
Small GTPase RAS plays a critical role in cellular signaling and oncogenic transformation. Proteomics analysis of genetically defined human ovarian cancer models identified the tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101) as a downstream target of RAS oncogene. Mechanistic studies revealed a novel post-translational regulation of TSG101 through the RAS/RAF/MEK/MAPK signaling pathway and downstream mo...
متن کاملIntegrated Proteomic Analysis of Human Cancer Cells and Plasma from Tumor Bearing Mice for Ovarian Cancer Biomarker Discovery
BACKGROUND The complexity of the human plasma proteome represents a substantial challenge for biomarker discovery. Proteomic analysis of genetically engineered mouse models of cancer and isolated cancer cells and cell lines provide alternative methods for identification of potential cancer markers that would be detectable in human blood using sensitive assays. The goal of this work is to evalua...
متن کاملP-170: Animal Models of Human Artificial Ovary, Valuable Tools for Fertility Preservation in Cancer Patients
Background: With all the recent advances in cancer treatments, many young cancer patients find themselves facing the prospect of losing their fertility after aggressive chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Cryopreservation of ovarian cortical tissue has emerged as a potential option to restore fertility in these young women. Materials and Methods: Because autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian c...
متن کاملInvestigation on metabolism of cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer using a genome scale metabolic model and microarray data
Objective(s): Many cancer cells show significant resistance to drugs that kill drug sensitive cancer cells and non-tumor cells and such resistance might be a consequence of the difference in metabolism. Therefore, studying the metabolism of drug resistant cancer cells and comparison with drug sensitive and normal cell lines is the objective of this research. Material and Methods:Metabolism of c...
