Description
Analysis of gene expression profile of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells exposed to hypoxic conditions (1% oxygen) or hypoxia mimicry (cobalt chloride) for 24 hours. Gene expression profiles were analyzed using MG-U74Av2 oligonucleotide microarrays. Data analysis revealed 2541 probesets (FDR<5%) for 1% oxygen experiment and 364 probesets (FDR<5%) for cobalt chloride, that showed differences in expression levels. Analysis of hypoxia-regulated genes (1% O2) by stringent Family-Wise Error Rate estimation indicated 454 significantly changed transcripts (p<0.05). The most upregulated genes were Lgals3, Selenbp1, Nppb (more than ten-fold increase). Both hypoxia and hypoxia-mimicry induced HIF-1 regulated genes. However, unsupervised analysis (Singular Value Decomposition) revealed distinct differences between gene expression induced by these two experimental conditions.
