In order to identify genes whose expression is associated with resistance to the chemotherapeutic agent oxaliplatin, transcripts differentially expressed between an oxaliplatin sensitive and a stably resistant subline were compared in six independent replicates using Stanford cDNA microarrays for five cell lines. "Significance analysis of microarrays" (SAM) was used to identify genes whose expression was statistically significantly different in the sensitive versus resistant members of each cell line pair. The biochemical pathways of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database were searched to identify those pathways in which the number of SAM-identified genes exceeded the number expected. This identified four pathways in which upregulated genes were significantly associated with resistance in two of the cell line pairs, and two pathways in which the association was found in three cell line pairs. The search also identified 12 pathways in which downregulated genes were associated with resistance in two cell line pairs and one pathway in which the association reached statistical significance in three cell line pairs. Pathways identified included the ribosome pathway, the Huntington's disease pathway that includes caspase 8, and the ATP synthesis pathways. Determination of the chromosomal location of each SAM-identified gene revealed several locales within which genes lay in close proximity, including three genes (APACD, IF-2, and REV1L) located on chromosome 2 that lie immediately adjacent to each other and were significantly upregulated in three of five cell line pairs. Biochemical pathway and chromosomal mapping of genes identified by SAM as differentially expressed in related cell line pairs points to mechanisms and chromosomal sites not previously suspected of association with the oxaliplatin-resistant phenotype.
