  Mayo Clinic: Gene expression profiling not quite perfected in predicting lung cancer prognosis
Researchers caution that the science of gene expression profiling, in which scientists examine the genetic signature of a cell, is in its infancy, particularly in lung cancer.
Yang, a researcher with Mayo Clinic's Department of Health Sciences, said that while gene expression profiling has been successfully used to classify various tumors and assess tumor stage, metastasis and patient survival rates, the evidence suggests that gene-based prediction for lung cancer is not yet entirely dependable.
Current analytical algorithms favor genes at high expression or genes highly differentially expressed, most of which are related to tumor differentiation and may not correlate with clinical outcomes; conversely, genes expressed at low levels or in a subtle difference are often overlooked, which may be quite relevant biologically to clinical questions.

  Gene expression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gene expression is a multi-step process that begins with transcription and translation and is followed by folding, post-translational modification and targeting.
Indirectly, the expression of particular genes may be assessed with DNA microarray technology, which can provide a rough measure of the cellular concentration of different mRNAs; often thousands at a time.
Nonetheless, bacterial expression has the advantage of easily producing large amounts of protein, which is required for X-ray crystallography or NMR experiments for structure determination.

 Gene Expression Profiling
The correlation of transcript profiles, probe clustering, and expression patterns in a particular tissue or developmental stage may help to assign biological relevance to many of the unknown genes.
SAGE analyses have already been used to study gene expression in plant systems.12-13 Among the high-throughput, comprehensive technological methods used to analyze transcript expression levels, array-based hybridization and SAGE are currently the most common approaches.
In a recent comparison of SAGE and array-based technologies, the two methods correlated quite well in both absolute expression analyses and comparative analyses during differentiation.14 The correlation was better for genes with higher expression levels and greater changes in expression.

Following lead selection, we use gene expression microarrays to identify a set of biomarkers that describes the most desired effects of the compound series, and use this core gene set to drive chemical optimization toward the identification of a development candidate.
Additionally, gene expression biomarker sets are used in in vivo experiments that accelerate pharmacologic optimization and establish clinical biomarkers to 1) guide dose escalation 2) correlate patient responses with pre-clinical efficacy results, and 3) enrich for responsive patients.
In contrast, gene expression profile analysis could provide a physiological, as well as a thorough and unbiased snapshot of the gene expression changes resulting from compound treatment, and thus, a more accurate assessment of a compound selectivity in cells.
