Inhibition of LIFR blocks adiposity driven endometrioid endometrial cancer growth

We examined the mechanisms by which adiposity regulates EEC progression. EEC cells were incubated with or without adipocyte conditioned medium (ADP-CM), and total RNA was isolated for RNA-seq analysis. Our results demonstrated that ADP-CM stimulated EEC cells showed upregulation of several LIF/LIFR modulated pathways including Jak/STAT and cytokine pathways. Total RNA from RL95-2 control, and ADP-CM cells were isolated using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). For whole-genome transcriptome profiling, 2 libraries (3 replicates from each group) were generated using a TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina Inc.). Samples were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform (Illumina Inc.) using the 50 base-pair single-read (50SR) sequencing module.
