Outline
Previous Studies Explored Function of
Unknown Genes May Identify Potential
Therapeutic Targets
•
•
•
La Tullippe et at. used high-throughput gene
expression analysis to study prostate cancer
metastasis
Differentially expressed genes between
metastatic and primary tumors were found in:
I. Cell Cycle Regulation
II. Mitosis
III. Signaling
IV. DNA Replication
Metastatic tumors had higher proliferation index
than primary tumors.
Genome Wide Expression Analysis of Primary
and Metastatic Prostate Cancers
• Tissues samples were taken from:
– 3 Non cancerous Patients
– 23 Primary Prostate Cancer Patients
– 9 Metastatic Prostate cancer Patients
• Collected as biopsies from 1993-1999
• Genes were considered to be differentially expressed
if they differed by 3 fold between two groups
Running GenMAPP & MAPPfinder
• The Log2 of the ratio of the means was calculated:
–

–
H vs PG fold
Met vs PG Fold
H vs Met Fold
AI vs PG Fold
• Number of errors 1793/11977
• Z score > 2
• PermuteP <0.05
