On the same two-dimensional view, we plotted one dataset of 86 profiles from lung adenocarcinomas and another dataset of 45 profiles from glioblastomas and astrocytomas, generated from previous global gene-expression studies [ 5 6 ] . Figure 1shows this principal components analysis (PCA) plot of the gene-expression profiles from cell cultures, xenografts, and human lung and brain tumors.
As with the genes expressed at higher levels in culture compared to xenografts, searches were made for significantly enriched GO and MeSH term classes for the set of 134 genes with significantly higher expression ( p < 0.01, fold change > 2) in the A549 tumors over the A549 cell cultures and the set of 112 genes upregulated in the U118 tumors over the U118 cell cultures.
In this study, we wanted to test the hypothesis that there are changes in the breast cancer xenografts of FOC fed mice that sensitize the tumor to oxidative stress.
Although tumors are known to express high levels of genes involved in cell adhesion and the ECM, as we observed in the xenografts, assessment of the specific contribution of cancer cells to the increased expression may be difficult.
Data shown in Figure 4Bindicates that induction of luciferase activity in tumor xenografts is prompt, peaking between 6-12 hours.
