View SamplesPrimary SCEC is a rare malignancy without established treatment strategy. Although previous studies suggested that there were similarities between SCEC and SCLC in clinical manifestation and pathological morphology, genetic studies on this highly malignant tumour remained sparse.

View SamplesChimeric mice with humanized livers are considered a useful animal model for predicting human drug metabolism and toxicity. In this study, the characteristics of fresh h-hepatocytes (cFHHs, PXB-cells®) isolated from chimeric mice (PXB-mice®) were evaluated in vitro to confirm their utility for drug development. The cFHHs cultured at high density (2.13 × 10^5 cells/cm2) displayed stable production of human albumin and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A activities for at least 21 days. The mRNA expression levels of 10 of 13 CYPs, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGP), and transporters were maintained at >10% of the levels of freshly isolated cFHHs after 21 days. From 7-days cultured cFHHs at high density, many bile canaliculi were observed between cFHHs, and the accumulation of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP2) and bile salt export pump (BSEP) substrates in these bile canaliculi was clearly inhibited by cyclosporin A.
Culture density contributes to hepatic functions of fresh human hepatocytes isolated from chimeric mice with humanized livers: Novel, long-term, functional two-dimensional in vitro tool for developing new drugs.

View Samples27 sample pairs were conducted exon microarrays and 25 sample pairs were retain for our further alternative splicing analysis. 260 genes showed differential expression in more than 50% of our samples and 21 genes among them were validated by real-time PCR. Six genes with splicing events, which were firstly found in gastric cancer, were confirmed by RT-PCR.

View SamplesTo uncover molecular mechanisms underlying reduction of responses to restraint stress by racemic (R,S)-linalool inhalation, gene expression profiling at the hypothalamus of restraint stressed rats exposed to racemic (R,S)-linalool was carried out.
Inhalation of a racemic mixture (R,S)-linalool by rats experiencing restraint stress alters neuropeptide and MHC class I gene expression in the hypothalamus.

View SamplesAnalysis of MOLT-4 cells at various time points up to 6 hours following treatment with mouse anti-CD47 antibody (MABL) and goat anti-mouse IgG (GAM) as the crosslinker of MABL. MABL induces apoptosis in CD47-positive MOLT-4 cells. Cell death signals via CD47 ligation were analyzed by using Affymetrix Human Genome U133A microarray.
A new disulfide-linked dimer of a single-chain antibody fragment against human CD47 induces apoptosis in lymphoid malignant cells via the hypoxia inducible factor-1α pathway.

View SamplesTo clarify the downstream signal pathway of EML4-ALK in NSCLC, we performed Affymetrix GeneChip analysis using ALK inhibitor CH5424802-treated NCI-H2228 xenograft tumors, and comprehensively characterized the gene expression regulated by inhibition of activated ALK.
CH5424802, a selective ALK inhibitor capable of blocking the resistant gatekeeper mutant.
