(Submitter supplied) Testican 3 (coded for by SPOCK3), is an extracellular matrix heparan/chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan that possesses serine and cysteine protease inhibitor-like domains Based on the knowledge that serine proteases contribute to the destruction of the lung in cigarette smokers, but that only a fraction of smokers develop smoking-induced lung disease, we hypothesized that smokers expressed SPOCK3 at lower levels in the small airway epithelium, the initial site of smoking-induced disease, and further, that genetic variability modulates the expression of SPOCK3 in the airway epithelium. more...

(Submitter supplied) The glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene family codes for enzymes that detoxify xenobiotics by catalyzing the conjugation of xenobiotics to glutathione. Based on reports that inherited copy number variations (CNV) in the genome modulate some GST expression levels and with the knowledge that cigarette smoke contains >3000 xenobiotics, and that the small airway epithelium and alveolar macrophages are involved early in the pathogensis of smoking-induced lung disease, we asked: do germline CNVs modulate GST expression level in the small airway epithelium and alveolar macrophages? Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 microarrays were used to survey GST gene expression in the small airway epithelium and alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoscopic brushings from current smokers (n=35) and nonsmokers (n=35). more...

(Submitter supplied) Affymetrix submissions are typically submitted to GEO using the GEOarchive method described at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/geo/info/geo_affy.html The SNP Array 5.0 is a single microarray featuring all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the original two-chip Mapping 500K Array Set, as well as 420,000 additional non-polymorphic probes that can measure other genetic differences, such as copy number variation. more...
