Transcription profiling of human androgen receptor expressing prostate carcinoma cell line LNCaP and normal human foreskin fibroblasts expressing the androgen receptor treated with dihydrotestosterone (DHT), ethanol, or untreated vs. a common reference, see E-SMDB-3636

ABSTRACT: The text description is: LNCaP are androgen receptor expressing prostate carcinoma cells. Genital skin fibroblasts also express the androgen receptor. Cells were either proliferating or they were G0-arrested. Treatment of cells was performed with either the androgen DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the androgen analogue R1881 (methyltrienolone), or the solvent ethanol. Hybridizations were performed in the type 1 design for arrays # 1-8. In these cases, the hormone treated sample was hybridized against the ethanol treated sample on the same microarray. Hormone mediated induction or repression of gene transcription can directly be deduced from R/G normalized ratios on arrays. For other experiments (#9-24), the ethanol treated control and the hormone treated experiment were hybridized on separate microarrays against a common reference of RNA. This reference was composed out of common reference batch CRG (50%) and a fibroblast RNA (50%). This reference was called mixed reference. For all experiments, the same batch of mixed reference was used.
