Identifying Differential Gene Expression in Monoterpene-treated Mammary Carcinomas Using Subtractive Display

Comparative Genomics: Differential Display and Subtractive Hybridization

Identification of differential gene expression in in vitro FSH treated pig granulosa cells using suppression subtractive hybridization

FSH, which binds to specific receptors on granulosa cells in mammals, plays a key role in folliculogenesis. Its biological activity involves stimulation of intercellular communication and upregulation of steroidogenesis, but the entire spectrum of the genes regulated by FSH has yet to be fully characterized. In order to find new regulated transcripts, however rare, we have used a Suppression Su...

Etiology-specific gene expression profiles in rat mammary carcinomas.

Identification of etiology of human cancers is important for effective cancer prevention, and attempts to estimate the roles of a variety of environmental carcinogens in human cancers are being made. Here, we applied cDNA microarray technology to estimate whether gene expression profiles of cancers would reflect their etiology. Using rat mammary carcinoma models, expression profiles were analyz...

Identification of a novel gene, selectively up-regulated in human carcinomas, using the differential display technique.

Using the differential display technique, selecting for genes up-regulated in renal cell carcinoma compared with normal renal parenchyma, we isolated a novel gene, designated DD96. As determined by in situ and Northern blot hybridization studies, DD96 is expressed only in rare normal epithelial cell populations, such as the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney. However, it is express...

Canine Mammary Carcinomas: A Comparative Analysis of Altered Gene Expression

Breast cancer represents the second most frequent neoplasm in humans and sexually intact female dogs after lung and skin cancers, respectively. Many similar features in human and dog cancers including, spontaneous development, clinical presentation, tumor heterogeneity, disease progression and response to conventional therapies have supported development of this comparative model as an alternat...
