Transcription profiling of human Hs 294T cells treated with elesclomol alone or in combination with paclitaxel compared to DMSO treated

We used microarrays to detail gene expression changes in Hs 294T human melanoma cells after treatment with elesclomol alone, or in combination with paclitaxel, to aide in identifing the mechnism of action of elesclomol. Experiment Overall Design: Hs 294T human melanoma cells were grown in vitro. They were seeded at a low density and were left untreated, treated with the vehicle, treated with elesclomol, treated with paclitaxel, or treated in combination with both elesclomol and paclitaxel. They were incubated for 6 hours before harvesting.
