View SamplesProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men. We identified that miR-29 family is the most androgen-responsive miRNA in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cells. For the screening of miR-29b target, we performed microarray analysis in two prostate cancer cells. Because TET2 is the primary target of miR-29 family by our analysis, we also performed TET2 signaling by microarray.

View SamplesProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. We identified androgen-regulated genes, CTBP2, FOXP1 and RUNX1. These factors interact with AR ligand dependently.

View SamplesThe aim of this study is to identify responders to FOLFOX therapy by applying the Random Forests (RF) algorithm to gene expression data. Eighty-three unresectable colorectal cancer (CRC) patients including 42 responders and 41 non-responders were divided into training (54 patients) and test (29 patients) sets.

View SamplesProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. Androgen-deprivation therapy is the first-line treatment strategy for advanced prostate cancer. However, many tumors develop to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and relapse. Thus, analyzing key factors for development of CRPC is important. We found PSF functions as RNA binding protein and transcription factor to promote castration-resistant tumor growth. High expression of PSF in metastatic prostate cancer tissue indicates the clinical relevance.

View SamplesRetinoic acid (RA) signaling regulates a variety of developmental processes through controlling the expression of numerous genes. Here, we have identified and characterized RA-responsive genes in mouse kidney development. Analysis of isolated embryonic kidneys cultured in the presence and absence of RA identified 33 candidates of RA-responsive genes. Most of these candidate genes were down-regulated by treatment with the RA receptor antagonist. Many of them have potential binding sites for Elf5, one of the RA-responsive genes, in their promoter region. Whole-mount in situ hybridization demonstrated that specific expression of Elf5 in the ureteric trunk depends on RA. RA-dependent expression in the ureteric trunk was also demonstrated for the sodium channel subunit Scnn1b, which has been shown to be the marker gene of the collecting duct. In contrast, the expression of Ecm1, Tnfsf13b and IL-33 was detected in the stromal mesenchymal cells. Both Tnfsf13b and IL-33 were previously shown to cause NF-B activation. We have demonstrated that the inhibition of NF-B signaling with specific inhibitors suppresses branching morphogenesis of the ureteric bud. Our study thus identifies and characterizes RA-dependent upregulated genes in kidney development, and suggests an involvement of NF-B signaling in the branching morphogenesis.
