## Abstract An analysis of gene expression profiles obtained from cervical cancers was performed to find those genes most aberrantly expressed. Total RNA was prepared from 29 samples of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and 18 control samples, and hybridized to Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays

Abstract
The molecular signatures of 20 severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN3) cases and 10 cervical squamous cell cancers were determined to define cancer‐related gene expression profiles. RNAs extracted from microdissected tissues were amplified by SMART technology and used as probes for hybridization of commercially available cDNA array filters comprising 1,176 cancer‐related genes. Ninety‐two differentially expressed genes were identified by comparison of pooled cDNA from CIN3 vs. cervical cancer. Heterogeneity in expression of this subset of genes was then analyzed for each biopsy using an algorithm for self‐organizing maps. For several gene clusters, the expression pattern for CIN3 differed significantly from that of cancer. Moreover, hierarchical clustering revealed significant differences in distribution of CIN and cancer. Several CIN cases were more strongly related to cancer, suggesting that gene expression profiling may be useful for subdividing pathologically indistinguishable precancers into different biologic entities. This approach also provides a basis for the identification of putative prognostic markers and for targeted molecular therapy. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
