Classification of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Gene Expression Profiling Analysis

چکیده
Previous papers reported the effectiveness in classification of cancers with their gene expression portraits [1, 2, 3]. Golub et al. [3] selected 50 genes of high predictive value to differentiate 2 types of leukemia by ‘weighted voting algorithm’. However it remains to be known whether we can apply this type of specific algorithms to classify different types of cancer. We, therefore, attempted to classify liver tissues by expression profiles among non-cancer, well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (WDH) and moderately-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (MDH) by applying clustering method and ‘weighted voting algorithm’.

Feature Selection and Classification of Microarray Gene Expression Data of Ovarian Carcinoma Patients using Weighted Voting Support Vector Machine
We can reach by DNA microarray gene expression to such wealth of information with thousands of variables (genes). Analysis of this information can show genetic reasons of disease and tumor differences. In this study we try to reduce high-dimensional data by statistical method to select valuable genes with high impact as biomarkers and then classify ovarian tumor based on gene expression data of...

Objective(s): Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most significant health condition around the world. As the only curative therapies, liver transplantation and surgical resection are the clinical treatments of HCC. Due to the systemic toxicity and severe side effects of these treatments, it is vital to establish new therapeutic approaches. The present study ai...

Background: Histone deacetylation of tumor suppressor genes such as estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) can induce cancer, which is reversible by epi-drugs such as valproic acid (VPA). The previous result indicated that tamoxifen (TAM) induced apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was designed to assess the apoptotic and antiproliferative effects of VPA and TAM and also the ef...

Background: DNA molecule of the eukaryotic cells is found in the form of a nucleoprotein complex named chromatin. Two epigenetic modifications are critical for transcriptional control of genes, including acetylation and DNA methylation. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes is catalyzed by various DNA methyltransferase enzymes (DNMTs), including DNMT1, DNMT2, and DNMT3. The most well chara...

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), primary liver cancer, is a major health problem and the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Epigenetic modulations are essential for the maintenance of gene expression patterns in mammals. Disruption of these processes can lead to silenced gene and malignant cellular transformation. The current study was designed to compare the...
متن کاملGSK3β and CREB3 Gene Expression Profiling in Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors (SGT) are rare lesions with uncertain histopathology. One of the major signaling pathways that participate in the development of several tumors is protein kinase A. In this pathway, glycogen synthase kinase β (GSK3β) and cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB3) are two genes which are supposed to be down regulated in most human tumors. The expression lev...
