Abstract:
Objective To investigate the genes differentially expressed in prostate cancer and to determine some prostate cancer associated genes for diagnosis and treatment prostate cancer. Methods cDNA microarray chips containing 4 366 human genes in full length were used to investigate the differential gene expression patterns of samples from human prostatie cancers and normal prostate tissues. Results A total of 287 genes differentially expressed with prostatie cancers and normal prostate were screened out,comprising 165 unknown genes and 122 known genes.Among the known genes we further identified 56 genes which were markedly differentially expressed (20 up-regulated and 36 down-regulated genes). Conclusions cDNA microarray chips for analysis of genes expression patterns is a powerful method for identification of novel prostatie cancer associated genes.
