Transcription profiling of mouse transition from normal intestine to adenoma in the apc(min/+) mouse

Transcriptional Profiling of the Transition from Normal Intestine to Adenoma in the APC(Min/+) Mouse. Tissue was from male 91-days old APC(Min/+) mouse (an animal model for human colon cancer). RNA was purified using Trizol and labeled for hybridization to high density oligonucleotide Affymetrix MG_U74Av2 arrays, using manufacturer protocol. We measured the relative expression level of >12000 genes and ESTs. -----------------------------------------; Samples used in analysis:; * GSM12501: Normal intestine diet #1 sample C1_0112 Dnmt+/- Min/+; * GSM12502: Tumor diet #1 sample T1_0112 Dnmt+/- Min/+; * GSM12503: Normal intestine diet #1 sample C2_0112 Dnmt+/+ Min/+; * GSM12504: Tumor diet #1 sample T2_0112 Dnmt+/+ Min/+; * GSM12505: Normal intestine diet #2 sample C1_003 Dnmt+/- Min/+; * GSM12506: Tumor diet #2 sample T1_003 Dnmt+/- Min/+; * GSM12507: Normal intestine diet #2 sample C2_003 Dnmt+/+ Min/+; * GSM12508: Tumor diet #2 sample T2_003 Dnmt+/+ Min/+; * GSM12509: Normal intestine diet #3 sample C1_005 Dnmt+/- Min/+; * GSM12510: Tumor diet #3 sample T1_005 Dnmt+/- Min/+; * GSM12511: Normal intestine diet #3 sample C2_005 Dnmt+/+ Min/+; * GSM12512: Tumor diet #3 sample T2_005 Dnmt+/+ Min/+; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -; Comparisons were performed as described in Chen Z, Ge B, Hudson TJ and Rozen R. Gene Expression Patterns 1, 89-93, 2002. Comparing Normal intestine vs Adenoma. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -; This resulted in the identification of differentially expressed transcripts. Identified transcripts were clustered based on functional information which was publicly available at time of analysis, obtained through the NetAffx WEB portal (www.Affymetrix.com) and literature.
