How the new tools to analyze the human genome are opening new perspectives: the use of gene expression in investigations of the adrenal cortex.

Abstract

With the promise of state-of-the-art molecular technologies and the tools provided by the human genome project, a number of investigators are trying to identify molecular targets of adrenocortical tumorigenesis. One path in this endeavor was the identification by positional cloning of genes that are mutated in rare adrenocortical tumors. The subject of this article is an update of the results of experiments in the second path that was followed by us and others: that of using genome-wide expression analysis of adrenocortical cells in normal and various disease states. Transcriptomic analysis is a rapidly evolving technology; this article summarizes some data on the adrenal cortex and points out how these new technologies can be used in the identification of important genes and molecular pathways in both normal and diseased adrenal cortex.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex, associated with a generally dismal prognosis owing to its aggressive behavior. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Angiogenesis Inhibitors to Treat Cancer

Cancer treatments including angiogenesis inhibitors prevent tumor cells from receiving nutrients and oxygen. Here is the latest research on angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.

Cancer Genomics (Keystone)

Cancer genomics approaches employ high-throughput technologies to identify the complete catalog of somatic alterations that characterize the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of cohorts of tumor samples. Discover the latest research using such technologies in this feed.
