Abstract

Malignant transformation of mouse skin by chemical carcinogens and tumour promoters, such as the phorbol ester 12‐O‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA), is a multistage process that leads to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) formation. In an effort to identify tumour‐associated genes, we studied the influence of short‐term TPA‐treatment on the gene expression profile of murine skin. A comprehensive microarray with some 5,000 murine gene specific cDNA fragments was established and hybridised with pooled RNA derived from control and TPA‐treated dorsal skin samples. Of these genes, 54 were up‐ and 35 were down‐regulated upon TPA application. Additionally, we performed suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH) with respective RNA pools to generate and analyse a cDNA library enriched for TPA‐inducible genes. Expression data of selected genes were confirmed by quantitative real‐time PCR and Northern blot analysis. Comparison of microarray and SSH data revealed that 26% of up‐regulated genes identified by expression profiling matched with those present in the SSH library. Besides numerous known genes, we identified a large set of unknown cDNAs that represent previously unrecognised TPA‐regulated genes in murine skin with potential function in tumour promotion. Additionally, some TPA‐induced genes, such as Sprr1A, Saa3, JunB, Il4rα, Gp38, RalGDS and Slpi exhibit high basal level in advanced stages of skin carcinogenesis, suggesting that at least a subgroup of the identified TPA‐regulated genes may contribute to tumour progression and metastasis. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
