Gene expression profiles of ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting Hh signaling

Analysis of gene expression levels in response to inhibition of Hh signaling in ovarian cancer cells using a cDNA microarray technique. Results suggest that 208 genes (50.5%) were up-regulated and 204 gene (49.5%) were down-regulated after GANT61 treatment.The focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction cross-talk in SKOV3 cells after treatment with GANT61, and the expression change of “focal adhesion” related genes play an important role in the processes of response to GANT61-treatment. SKOV3 cells were treated with GANT61 (20 μM for 60 hr) and control vehicle DMSO, respectively.
