摘要: Aim: The adrenolytic agent mitotane is widely used in the treatment of adrenocortical cancer; however, its mechanism action poorly elucidated. We have studied mitotane-induced mRNA expression changes NCI-H295R cancer cell line. Materials & methods: Cell viability and hormone assays were to select optimal concentration effectively inhibiting secretion without affecting viability. RNA isolated from cultures treated for 48 72 h was subjected Agilent 4×44K microarray platforms. Microarray results validated by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. Results: Altogether, 117 significantly differentially expressed genes detected at (p < 0.05) mitotane-treated samples relative controls. Three underexpressed involved steroid biosynthesis (HSD3B1, HSD3B2 CYP21A2) four overexpressed ( GDF15, ALDH1L2, TRIB3 SERPINE2) been validated. Conclusion: Gene-expression might be adrenal inhibition secretion. Original submitted 20 January 2012; Revision 17 May 2012
