Summary (written by the submitters)
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one breast cancer with high mortality due to aggressive tumor behavior and limited treatment options. Natural products are studied for their potential to be an alternative to combining with cancer drugs to improve treatment efficacy. Plant phytoconstituents can regulate cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, invasion, angiogenesis, or migration.

Kalanchoe pinnata has been used in traditional medicine, it contains flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, glycosides, bufadienolides, and tannins among others. In the present investigation, we evaluated the effect of aqueous extract and underlying molecular mechanisms on two breast cancer cell lines, HCC1937 and MDA-MB-231, focusing on cellular migration. The cytotoxic activity revealed that HCC1937 cells exhibit more sensitivity than MDA-MB-231 cells. Cell migration was affected in HCC1937 cells after 24h of treatment compared to 48h in MDA-MB-231 cells. The extract had more anti-invasion properties on HCC1937 cells (37.7%, p<0.01) than MDA-MB-231 cells (47%, p<0.05). RNAseq assay showed 1850 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HCC1937 cells versus 1534 in MDA-MB-231 cells. The Webgestalt analysis revealed the downregulation of genes involved in cell-cell adhesion, ruffle organization, cell-substrate junction with more downregulated genes in HCC1937 cells. The downregulated genes analyzed with KOBAS-i showed association with MAPK signaling, Focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt signaling, Regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and ECM-receptor interaction pathway. In addition, IPA network analysis revealed the inhibition of signaling pathways RHO GTPase cycle, RHOA signaling, JAK/STAT signaling, Actin cytoskeleton signaling, and Integrin signaling. Data for the docking study indicated the binding potential of Quercetin-3-O-arabinoside, Kaempferol, Quercetin, Ferulic acid, alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside, and Apigenin with JAK2, ROCK1, ROCK2, and PIK3CA proteins. Thus, our results demonstrate that K. pinnata inhibits the proliferation and invasion of TNBC cells by targeting genes involved in these important processes, so it has the potential to be used in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs for cancer treatment.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE287572_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1213762 and SRA study SRP558721. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
12 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 12 sample titles: 12 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
