title: Down-regulated expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) involved in the development and progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the differential expression genes (DEGs) between esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and para-cancerous tissue (PCT) and explore the target genes related to the development and progression of EAC.
  
  
  METHODS
  The total RNAs of matched EAC and para-cancerous tissue of EAC patients were isolated using one step Trizol method. Matched RNAs were qualified using 10 g/L agarose gel electrophoresis. cRNAs were synthesized, fluorescence labeled and purified after total RNAs were purified. The RNAs of EAC and PCT were hybridized with Agilent oligomicroarray (30,968 probes). The fluorescence intensity features were detected by Agilent scanner and quantified by feature extraction software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  (1)The total RNA, reverse transcription product and fluorescence labeled cRNA were all of high quality; (2)There were 212 up-regulated genes and 126 down-regulated genes am- ong 2-fold DEGs, including 16 genes related to cytochrome P450 (CYP).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Many EAC-assoeiated genes were screened by the high-throughput gene chip method. The development and progression of EAC is a complicated process involving multigenes and multiprocedures. The down-regulated expression of CYP related genes and gene polymorphism of CYP2 subfamily may be involved in the onset and progress of EAC.
