View SamplesBackground: Turner syndrome, a common sex chromosome aneuploidy, has characteristics and malformations associated with the phenotype. Fetal amniotic fluid is a complex biological material that could contribute to the understanding Turner syndrome pathogenesis. Global gene expression analysis of Turner syndrome fetal amniotic fluid supernatant was utilized to identify organ systems and specific genes that may play a role in the pathophysiologic changes that are seen in individuals with Turner syndrome.
Amniotic fluid RNA gene expression profiling provides insights into the phenotype of Turner syndrome.

View SamplesPulmonary alveoli are complex architectural units thought to undergo endogenous or pharmacologically induced programs of regeneration and degeneration. To study the molecular mechanism of alveoli loss mice were calorie restricted at different timepoints. Lungs were harvested and processed for RNA extraction.
Calorie-related rapid onset of alveolar loss, regeneration, and changes in mouse lung gene expression.

View SamplesIt has been shown that dexamethasone (Dex) impairs the normal lung septation that occurs in the early postnatal period. Treatment with retinoic acid (ATRA) abrogates the effects of Dex. To understand the molecular basis for the Dex indiced inhibition of the formation of the alveoli and the ability of ATRA to prevent the inhibition of septation, gene expression was analyzed in 4-day old mice treated with diluent (control), Dex-treated and ATRA+Dex-treated.
DNA microarray analysis of neonatal mouse lung connects regulation of KDR with dexamethasone-induced inhibition of alveolar formation.

View SamplesIn order to identify the gene targets of frequently altered chromosomal regions in retinoblastoma, a meta-analysis of genome-wide copy number alterations studies on primary retinoblastoma tissue and retinoblastoma cell lines was performed. Published studies were complemented by copy number and gene expression analysis on primary and cell line samples of retinoblastoma. This dataset includes the gene expression data of the retinoblastoma cell lines
A Meta-Analysis of Retinoblastoma Copy Numbers Refines the List of Possible Driver Genes Involved in Tumor Progression.

The ETS family member GABPα modulates androgen receptor signalling and mediates an aggressive phenotype in prostate cancer.
Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesIn prostate cancer, the androgen receptor (AR) is a key transcription factor at all disease stages. We recently showed that during progression to castrate-resistant prostate cancer the AR acquires the ability to bind to a distinct set of genomic sites in tissue samples and that some of the genes that are regulated by the AR in these conditions correlate with poor prognosis. Based on this work we hypothesised that the AR is reprogrammed through interactions with other transcription factors. In the present study we show that GABP, an ETS transcription factor which is upregulated in CRPC, is an AR-interacting transcription factor. Ectopic expression of GABPA in prostate cancer cell-lines enables them to acquire some of the molecular and cellular characteristics of CRPC tissues as well as more aggressive growth phenotypes.

View SamplesSalivary tumors isolated from MMTV-ras transgenic mice expressing wild-type p53, no p53 or p53R172H gain-of-funcion mutant were subjected to genome-wide gene expression profiling to assess the effect of the different p53 status on tumor gene expression.

View SamplesAll patients with suspected ovarian cancer (Raised CA 125 and a complex pelvic mass in a perimenopausal woman) were radiologically staged using CT scan and a chest x-ray. Patients with evidence of intra-abdominal metastasis and/or malignant pleural effusion were approached for entry to the study. Tissue biopsy was obtained either under radiological control (core needle biopsy) or via laparoscopic surgery (punch biopsy). Patients with histologicaly confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer were randomized to receive either three cycles of carboplatin (AUC 7) or paclitaxel (175 mg/m2).
The extracellular matrix protein TGFBI induces microtubule stabilization and sensitizes ovarian cancers to paclitaxel.
