ABSTRACT:
Methodology/Principal Findings: Affymetrix microarrays were conducted to study differentially (P<0.05) expressed genes in HSC-3 cells after 6h and 24h of EMD (200 ?g/ml) or TGF-beta1 (10 ng/ml) incubations. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses from the regulated genes were also conducted. After 6h of EMD or TGF-?1 treatment, 48 and 393 genes, respectively, were regulated. After 24h incubations, only 12 genes by EMD but 346 genes by TGF-beta1 were regulated. Among the most regulated genes by both of the study reagents were several genes commonly regulated in carcinomas, including MMP-9 and -10. The expression of MMP-10 by EMD treated carcinoma cells was also verified in protein level.
Conclusions/Significance: Our results show that EMD and TGF-beta1 can regulate genes related to carcinogenesis, but TGF-beta1 regulates significantly greater number of genes. This suggests that TGF-beta1 cannot be present in EMD at the studied concentration, if present at all.
