Analysis of gene expression in colorectal cancer cells with DGKG overexpression. Homo sapiens

To clarify the role of diacylglycerol kinase gamma (DGKG) in colorectal cancer, we carried out a gene expression microarray analysis using HCT116 cells infected with adenoviral vectors which express LacZ, kinase-dead mutant of DGKG (DGKG-KD) or constitutively active form of DGKG (DGKG-CA). Overall design: HCT116 cells were infected with an adenoviral vector for expressing LacZ, or DGKG-KD or DGKG-CA. Twenty-four hours after infection, total RNA was extracted and gene expression signatures were analyzed.
