Altered integrin expression patterns shown by microarray in human cutaneous melanoma.

View SamplesMetastatic process is considered the predominant cause of melanoma-specific death, decreasing survival dramatically, and resulting in difficulties in the effective treatment. Large variety of molecular pathways associated with disease development and progression suggests that no individual molecular alteration is crucial in these processes per se.

View SamplesPURPOSE: Despite over 70,000 new cases of bladder cancer in the United States annually, patients with advanced disease have a poor prognosis due to limited treatment modalities. We evaluate the role of Aurora A, identified as an upregulated candidate molecule in bladder cancer, in regulating bladder tumor growth.
The investigational Aurora kinase A inhibitor MLN8237 induces defects in cell viability and cell-cycle progression in malignant bladder cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.
Specimen part
View SamplesThe aim of this study is to analyze the transcriptome of epithelial (CD326+ enriched) and immune (CD45+ enriched) fraction in Celiac Disease and controls to find differentially expressed genes.
The methylome of the celiac intestinal epithelium harbours genotype-independent alterations in the HLA region.

View SamplesInduced sputum is used to sample inflammatory cells, predominantly neutrophils and macrophages, from the airways of COPD patients. Our aim was to identify candidate genes associated with the degree of airflow obstruction and the extent of emphysema by expression profiling, and then to confirm these findings for selected candidates using specific PCR and protein analysis.
