DNA microarray flow chart and predictions Mrs. Stewart Medical Interventions Central Magnet School Print DNA gene sequences onto a microarray (slide) Isolate mRNA from normal and “experimental” cells Prepare flourescent (labeled) cDNA from each of the mRNA samples Hybridize (place labeled cDNA sequences onto printed slides with known genes – complementary sequences will bind) Visualize results Analyze Gene 1: Human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEACAM6) This gene codes for a protein that is located in the extracellular matrix. This protein is involved with adhesion between cells and is thought to be a proto-oncogene and when over-expressed is an oncogene. Gene 2: Surfactant protein B (SFTPB) This gene codes for an extracellular protein. This protein enhances the rate of spreading and increases the stability of pulmonary surfactant, a lipid-rich material that prevents lung collapse by lowering surface tension at the air-liquid interface in the alveoli of the lungs. Gene 3: P53 tumor suppressor (TP53) Gene 4: SRY This gene codes for a protein that is located in the mitochondria and in the nucleolus. This protein is involved with cell cycle checkpoints. This gene is a tumor suppressor gene and is thought to be the “Guardian of the Genome.” This gene codes for a protein that is located in the nucleus. The protein that this gene codes for is testisdetermining factor (TDF) which initiates male sex determination. This protein has no function in lung cells. Gene 5: Cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1) This gene codes for a protein that is located in the endoplasmic reticulum. The protein catalyzes reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesizes cholesterol, steroids, and other lipids. The expression of this protein is induced by some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which are found in cigarette smoke. Gene 6: Glypican 3(GPC3) This gene codes for a protein that is located in the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix. The gene controls cellular response to damage and may control cellular growth regulation and apoptosis. This gene is considered to be a tumor suppressor gene for lung cancer.
