Gene expression profiles of serous ovarian cancer samples

ABSTRACT: To elucidate the mechanisms of rapid progression of serous ovarian cancer, gene expression profiles from forty-three ovarian cancer tissues comprising eight early stage and thirty-five advanced stage tissues were performed using oligonucleotide microarrays of 18,716 genes. By non-negative matrix factorization analysis using 178 genes, which were extracted as stage-specific genes, 35 advanced-stage cases were classified into two subclasses with superior (n = 17) and poor (n = 18) outcome evaluated by progression-free survival (logrank test, p = 0.03). Of the 178 stage-specific genes, 112 genes were identified as showing different expression between the two subclasses. Of the 48 genes selected for biological function by Gene Ontology analysis or Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, 5 genes (ZEB2, CD
