Purpose: This study was conducted to characterize gene expression profile of survival in patients with surgically curable gastric cancer by using an in-house membrane microarray and developing a survival prediction model.
Materials And Methods: Data of cDNA microarrays were obtained from 18 pairs of cancerous and noncancerous gastric tissues. Nine patients who survived > 30 months were identified as good survival, and the other nine, who survived < 12 months, were identified as poor survival. Supervised analysis was performed to identify a gene expression profile by good and poor survival. Semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to confirm the microarray data in 10 patients with sufficient RNA. Using these 10 patients and another 10 patients selected randomly from 40 newly enrolled patients as the training group, the RT-PCR status of the confirmed genes was used for predicting good versus poor survival. Finally, the prediction model was tested in the remaining 30 newly enrolled gastric cancer patients.
Results: A survival prediction model consisting of three genes (CD36, SLAM, PIM-1) was developed. This model could correctly predict poor or good survival in 23 (76.7%) of 30 newly enrolled patients, and yielded a specificity of 80% and a sensitivity of 73.3%. The survival rate of the patients predicted to have good survival was significantly higher than that of those predicted to have poor survival in the test group as a whole (N = 30; P = .00531) and in stage III patients (n = 16; P = .04467).
Conclusion: The semiquantitative RT-PCR gene expression profiling of three genes extracted from microarray study can accurately predict surgery-related outcome in gastric cancer patients.

Background/objectives: Loss-of-function chymotrypsin C (CTRC) variants increase the risk for chronic pancreatitis (CP) by reducing protective pancreatic CTRC activity. Variants in the 5' upstream region that includes the promoter might affect CTRC expression but have not been investigated to date. The aim of the present study was to address this knowledge gap.

Personalized medicine is an emerging field that provides novel approaches to disease's early diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and prognosis based on the patient's criteria in gene expression, environmental factors, lifestyle, and diet. To date, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health burden, with an increasing incidence and significant death rates, despite advancements in surveillance, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches. The majority of HCC lesions develop in patients with liver cirrhosis, carrying the risks of mortality associated with both the tumor burden and the cirrhosis.

Introduction: High-density Wheat 660 K and 90 K SNP arrays are powerful tools for understanding the genetic basis of wheat traits. However, their inconsistantly physical positions that were caused by different versions of Chinese Spring genome during developing arrays are confused and inconvenient for further application.
Objective: With the repid development of wheat geonome sequencing, we aim to reconciliate Wheat 660 K and 90 K SNP arrays in modern cultivar and reveal the genetic basis of dough rheological properties in bread wheat.

Cry proteins, commonly found in gram-positive soil bacteria, are used worldwide as aerial sprays or in transgenic plants for controlling crop pest populations and as insect vectors. Via PCR analysis, a spore producing soil isolate (BV5) was speculated to encode a Cry gene. Partial nucleotide sequence of the amplified PCR fragment showed homology with the Cry8 genes present in GenBank.

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are key cells promoting cartilage damage and bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They are activated to assume an invasive and migratory phenotype. While mechanisms of FLS activation are unknown, evidence suggests that pre-damaged extracellular matrix (ECM) of the cartilage can trigger FLS activation.
