Gene expression profiling: can we identify the right target genes?
Gene expression profiling allows the simultaneous monitoring of the transcriptional behaviour of thousands of genes, which may potentially be involved in disease development. Several studies have been performed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which aim to define genetic links to the disease in an attempt to improve the current understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of the disease ...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of gastrin target genes in parietal cells.
Previous studies demonstrated that mice with a null mutation in the gene encoding the hormone gastrin have impaired gastric acid secretion. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the acid-secreting parietal cell in gastrin-deficient (GAS-KO) mice. Analysis of several transcripts encoding parietal cell proteins involved in gastric acid secretion showed reduced abundance in the G...
متن کاملGene expression profiling using nanostring digital RNA counting to identify potential target antigens for melanoma immunotherapy.
PURPOSE The success of immunotherapy for the treatment of metastatic cancer is contingent on the identification of appropriate target antigens. Potential targets must be expressed on tumors but show restricted expression on normal tissues. To maximize patient eligibility, ideal target antigens should be expressed on a high percentage of tumors within a histology and, potentially, in multiple di...
متن کاملCan We Identify Cellular Pathways Implicated in Cancer Using Gene Expression Data?
The cancer state of a cell is characterized by alterations of important cellular processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, DNA-damage repair, etc. The expression of genes associated with cancer related pathways, therefore, may exhibit differences between the normal and the cancerous states. We explore various means to find these differences. We analyze 6 different pathways (p53, Ras, Brc...
متن کاملCan we ever identify the Urmetazoan?
Unraveling the root of the metazoan tree of life has been a difficult task since the time of Haeckel and the invention of phylogenetics. Even considerable amounts of recent molecular data have not provided a generally accepted answer. Here, we review the major problems of this phylogenetic conundrum and provide some directions for solving it.
