The gene expression data of drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) in male F344 rat livers were examined after treatments with phenobarbital (PB), clofibrate (CPIB), 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) or butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Nucleotide sequence-based phylogenetic trees combined with a heat map, that presents both quantitative and qualitative data, were created. Most DME gene probes were successfully classified into the corresponding gene families, although a few were not due to the presence of non-coding or promoter region sequences in the target gene. There were also some data discrepancies among probes of the same gene family, indicating the inappropriate design of these probes. With this method, microarray probes with confusing nomenclature and quality differences can be identified. In addition, a good correlation between the gene expression data and protein data was confirmed, indicating the usefulness of this method for the comprehensive monitoring of DME activity in rat livers treated with xenobiotics.

Myelodysplastic Neoplasm (MDS) is a cancer associated with aging, often leading to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). One of its hallmarks is hypermethylation, particularly in genes responsible for DNA repair. This study aimed to evaluate the methylation and mutation status of DNA repair genes (single-strand - XPA, XPC, XPG, CSA, CSB and double-strand - ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, LIG4, RAD51) in MDS across three patient cohorts (Cohort A-56, Cohort B-100, Cohort C-76), using methods like pyrosequencing, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and mutation screening.

The St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) beluga () population in Canada is Endangered, and endocrine disrupting contaminants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and other halogenated flame retardants, have been identified as a threat to the recovery of this population. Here, potential impacts of these contaminants on SLE beluga were evaluated by comparing skin transcriptome profiles and biological pathways between this population and a population less exposed to contaminants (Eastern Beaufort Sea) used as a reference.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 (NEDD4) is involved in various cancer signaling pathways, including PTEN/AKT. However, its role in promoting gastric cancer (GC) progression is unclear. This study was conducted to elucidate the role of NEDD4 in GC progression.
