Differential gene expression patterns signifying loss of the mouse tumor supressor Gprc5a in lung epithelial cells

ABSTRACT: Increasing the understanding of the impact of changes in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is essential for improving the management of lung cancer. Recently, we identified a new mouse lung-specific tumor suppressor - the G-protein coupled receptor 5A (Gprc5a). We sought to understand the molecular consequences of Gprc5a loss and towards this we performed microarray analysis of the transcriptomes of lung epithelial cells cultured from normal tracheas of Gprc5a knockout and wild-type mice to define a loss-of-Gprc5a gene signature. Gprc5a wild type cells (WT-NLE) and Gprc5a knockout cells (NULL-NLE) were isolated and cultured from trachea of three week old Gprc5a wild type and knockout mice, respectively. Following RNA extraction and purification, the transcriptome of the Gprc5a wild type and knockout cells were analyzed by microarray analysis using the Affymetrix MG-430 2.0 murine array platform.
