    摘要: Prostasin protein has been found to be a useful marker for determination of the invasiveness of and as a means to treat human carcinomas. Using RT-PCR and western blot analyses, prostasin protein and mRNA expression were found in normal human prostate epithelial cells and the human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, but not in the highly invasive human prostate cancer cell lines DU-145 and PC-3. Imunohistochemistry studies of human prostate cancer specimens revealed a down-regulation of prostasin in high-grade tumors. Using RT-PCR and western blot analyses, prostasin protein and mRNA expression were found in a non-invasive human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, while invasive human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435s were found not to express either the prostasin protein or the mRNA. A non-invasive human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-453, was shown to express prostasin mRNA but not prostasin protein. Transfection of DU-145 and PC-3 cells with a full-length human prostasin cDNA restored prostasin expression and reduced the in vitro invasiveness by 68% and 42%, respectively. Transfection of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435s cells with a full-length human prostasin cDNA restored prostasin expression and reduced the in vitro invasiveness by 50% for either cell line.

    摘要: This invention relates a series of methods for the visual representation and subsequent application of analyses on complex data sets. In particular, this invention is useful for the analysis of multiple sample sets that share common features, for which similar types of analyses are desired. Three concepts are embodied to aid in this analysis: “Functional equivalence by Algorithmic Polymorphism” (FEAP), in which an analysis algorithm is abstracted through the use of an associated name; a genealogical metaphor for the representation of successive or parallel analysis steps, in which “families” of analyses can be easily copied between different sample data sets; and batch analysis through the creation of multi-sample analysis surrogates (MSAS), which are groups of samples wherein analyses applied to an MSAS is then applied to every sample within the MSAS group. This invention has particular utility in the analysis of data derived from flow cytometers, the analysis of complex demographic data, and other similar data sets.
