Detection, treatment, and prediction of outcome for lung cancer patients increasingly depend on a molecular understanding of tumor development and sensitivity of lung cancer to therapeutic drugs. The application of genomic technologies, such as microarray, is widely used to monitor global gene expression and has built up invaluable information and knowledge, which is essential to the discovery of new insights into the mechanisms common to cancer cells, resulting in the identification of unique, identifiable signatures and specific characteristics. It is likely that application of microarray may revolutionize many aspects of lung cancer being diagnosed, classified, and treated in the near future. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression patterns of lung cancer.

View SamplesRetinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are two retinal cell types that are affected by the most prevalent retinal diseases leading to irreversible blindness, such as glaucoma affecting the former and age-related macular degeneration affecting the latter. One of the most promising approaches for the therapy of these diseases is via the autologous transplantation of RGC or RPE cells derived from the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This emphasizes the importance of detailed characterization and understanding of the mechanisms of differentiation of iPSCs into retinal lineages on the genome-wide scale. Such information can be used to identify novel crucial regulators of differentiation, optimisation of differentiation protocols to make them more efficient and safe, identification of novel specific biomarker signatures of differentiated cells. In this study, we performed the genome-wide transcriptome analysis of terminally differentiated RGC and RPE lineages, as well as intermediate retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) of optic vesicles (OVs) derived from the human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In our analysis we specifically focused on the classes of transcripts that encode regulators of gene expression, such as transcription factors, epigenetic factors, and components of signaling pathways.

View SamplesLebers hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited mitochondrial disease caused by homoplasmic mutations in complex I subunit genes, and is characterized by incomplete penetrance. The mechanism of low penetrance of complex I mutation is still largely unclear today. In this study, we created the patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from MT-ND4 mutated LHON affected patient, asymptomatic mutation carrier and control, and differentiated them into retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) for pathogenesis survey. We observed the following phenotypic features in the LHON-specific RGCs as compared to the control: 1) enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis in affected and carriers; 2) compensatory increased mitochondrial complex I activity in carrier, but not in affected patient; 3) reduced spare respiratory activity in affected and carrier. Microarray profiling of LHON-specific RGCs revealed abundant overexpression of genes encoding components of cell cycle regulation machinery as compared to the control.

View SamplesWith 350 million carriers worldwide who may suffer from serious sequelae, including hepatocellular carcinoma, chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection remains an important health issue. Current antiviral therapies hardly eradicate the virus. Therefore, there are still imperative need to develop new therapeutic strategies and predictors for treatment response to cure the disease and avoid futile treatment. By taking the advantage of having the paired liver biopsy samples of IFNalpha responders before/after treatment and pretreatment samples from responders and non-responders, we could characterize the intrahepatic expression profiles associated with necroinflammatory activity and the profiles/signature potentially predictive of response to IFNalpha therapy for CHB in this study.

View SamplesTazarotene-induced gene 1 (TIG1), also named as retinoic acid receptor responder 1 (RARRES1), is a retinoid inducible type II tumor suppressor gene; the TIG1B isoform inhibits growth and invasion of cancer cells. Expression of TIG1B is frequently downregulated in various cancer tissues; however, the expression and activities of the TIG1A isoform has yet to be analyzed. This study investigated the effects of TIG1A and TIG1B isoforms on gene expression profiles of colon cancer cells. TIG1A, TIG1B and control stable clones derived from HCT116 colon cells were established using the GeneSwitch system. TIG1 isoform expression was induced upon 5 micro Molar of mifepristone (MFP) treatment for 24 hr. Biological triplicate samples were prepared and gene expression profiles were determined by microarray using human genome HGU133 plus 2 array (Affymatrix). Upon induction of TIG1A and TIG1B expression for 24 hr, a total of 129 and 55 genes were significantly altered, respectively. Of the genes analyzed, 23 and 6 genes were up- and downregulated, respectively in both TIG1A and TIG1B expressing cells.
