Resveratrol, a natural phytoestrogen found in red wine and a variety of plants, is reported to have protective effects against lung cancer, however there is very little work directed towards the understanding of the mechanism of action of resveratrol in lung cancer. In this study we used an experimental approach to understand the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of resveratrol in A549 lung cancer cells. Gene expression profiles were compiled using an oligonucleotide microarray to determine altered expression levels in resveratrol treated cells. Keywords: Genetic modification of A549 cells in response to resveratrol Overall design: A549 cells were treated with resveratrol (25microM) or with ethanol control for 48 h. 4 samples in all were hybridized to the affymetrix chip, one control sample and 3 replicates of the resveratrol treated sample. Gene ontology-based gene lists are supplied in a supplementary file (Genelists.txt) at the foot of this record. Less...
