Gene expression profiling of DEHP-treated cardiomyocytes reveals potential causes of phthalate arrhythmogenicity

Gene expression profiling reveals potential biomarkers of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

PURPOSE Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common cancer worldwide, has a dismal outcome partly due to the poor identification of early-stage HCC. Currently, one third of HCC patients present with low serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, the only clinically available diagnostic marker for HCC. The aim of this study was to identify new diagnostic molecular markers for HCC, especially for individ...

Gene expression profiling reveals U1 snRNA regulates cancer gene expression

U1 small nuclear RNA (U1 snRNA), as one of the most abundant ncRNAs in human cells, plays an important role in splicing of pre-mRNAs. Compared to previous studies which have focused on the primary function of U1 snRNA and the neurodegenerative diseases caused by abnormalities of U1 snRNA, this study is to investigate how U1 snRNA over-expression affects the expression of mammal genes on a genom...

Phylogenetic expression profiling reveals widespread coordinated evolution of gene expression

Gene expression profiling of rat livers reveals indicators of potential adverse effects.

This study tested the hypothesis that gene expression profiling can reveal indicators of subtle injury to the liver induced by a low dose of a substance that does not cause overt toxicity as defined by conventional criteria of toxicology (e.g., abnormal clinical chemistry and histopathology). For the purpose of this study we defined this low dose as subtoxic, i.e., a dose that elicits effects w...

Gene Expression Profiling Reveals Potential Players of Left-Right Asymmetry in Female Chicken Gonads

Most female birds develop only a left ovary, whereas males develop bilateral testes. The mechanism underlying this process is still not completely understood. Here, we provide a comprehensive transcriptional analysis of female chicken gonads and identify novel candidate side-biased genes. RNA-Seq analysis was carried out on total RNA harvested from the left and right gonads on embryonic day 6 (...
