Analysis of three kinds of tumors gene expression by RNA microarray. Analysis of three kinds of tumors gene expression by RNA microarray

In order to detect the difference of tumorigenicity induced by different cell lines in nude mice. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the difference of genes expression. 10 week old 44 thymus-free nude mice were randomly divided into four groups, control group, A549 group, H1299 group and A549+H1299 group. 0.2ml saline suspension containing 5×10^6 cells were implanted subcutaneously in the flanks of each nude mouse in the control group. A549+H1299 group means 0.2ml saline suspension containing 2.5×10^6 A549 cells and 2.5×10^6 H1299 cells. After 30 days, Tumor tissue in each nude mouse Tumor tissue was taken out and detected with Agilent Human 4x44K Gene Expression Microarrays. Overall design: Gene expression in tumor tissue from A549, H1299 and A549+H1299 group were used for gene expression. Three independent experiments were performed at each group.
