The aim of the present study was to compare, on a statistical basis, the performance of different microarray platforms to detect differences in gene expression in a realistic and challenging biological setting. Gene expression profiles in the hippocampus of five wild-type and five transgenic C-doublecortin-like kinase mice were evaluated with five microarray platforms: Applied Biosystems, Affymetrix, Agilent, Illumina and home-spotted oligonucleotide arrays. We observed considerable overlap between the different platforms, the overlap being better detectable with significance level-based ranking than with a p-value based cut-off. Confirming the qualitative agreement between platforms, Pathway analysis consistently demonstrated aberrances in GABA-ergic signalling in the transgenic mice, even though pathways were represented by only partially overlapping genes on the different platforms.
Can subtle changes in gene expression be consistently detected with different microarray platforms?

View SamplesA genetic association between the ANP32A gene and osteoarthritis has been suggested. We compared transcriptome profiles of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone from mice deficient in ANP32A with wild-type mice to get insights into the role of ANP32A in the pathogenesis of ostearthritis.
ANP32A regulates ATM expression and prevents oxidative stress in cartilage, brain, and bone.

View SamplesAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can be cured with combination chemotherapy in over 75% of children, but the cause of treatment failure in the remaining patients is unknown. We determined the sensitivity of ALL cells to individual antileukemic agents in 441 patients, and used a genome-wide approach to identify 45 genes differentially expressed in ALL exhibiting cross-resistance to prednisolone, vincristine, asparaginase and daunorubicin. We also identified a distinct phenotype of discordant resistance to asparaginase and vincristine and 139 genes whose expression was associated with this novel phenotype. The expression of these genes discriminated treatment outcome in two independent patient populations, identifying a subset of patients with a markedly inferior outcome (37%13% 5-year DFS).

View SamplesCellular drug resistance is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To identify genes conferring resistance to antileukemic agents, we analyzed the expression of >12,700 genes in sensitive and resistant ALL cells obtained at diagnosis from 174 patients. This revealed 42, 59, 54 and 22 genes (P0.001) that were differentially expressed in B-lineage ALL that was sensitive versus resistant to prednisolone, vincristine, asparaginase or daunorubicin, respectively, with prediction accuracies of 71-76%. Notably, 149 of the discriminating genes have not been previously associated with resistance to these anticancer agents. These included carbohydrate-metabolism and transcription-associated genes for prednisolone, cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix genes for vincristine, ribosomal protein and translation-associated genes for asparaginase, and RAS signaling and nucleosome remodeling complex genes for daunorubicin. The identification of novel genomic determinants of cellular drug resistance provides new insights for overcoming drug resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
