Comprehensive gene expression profiles reveal pathways related to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
5 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
To better understand the molecular basis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) and microarray analysis to compare the gene expression patterns of lung tissues from COPD and control smokers. A total of 59,343 tags corresponding to 26,502 transcripts were sequenced in SAGE analyses. A total of 327 genes were differentially expressed (1.5-fold up- or...
