Gene expression signatures for ELF4

To elucidate how ELF4 confers anti-growth activity, gene expression profiles were compared between wildtype- and mutant-expressing T3M-1 Cl-10 cells with the use of DNA microarrays. T3M-1 Cl-10 cells were infected with a mock retrovirus or virus generated from pMXS-ires-EGFP expressing ELF4 or ELF4(L211M), and EGFP?positive fractions were purified with a cell sorter. Thus gene expression profiling of purely mock/ELF4/ELF4(L211M)-expressing cells was performed with SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8×60K v2 Microarray.
