  4. Detection of abnormal gene expression using genome-wide screens and microarrays Allen et al., 2003; Kerr et al., 2005

  5. Functional genomics/Proof of concept • Does an asthma/COPD gene have a relevant function? • What is the effect of selective overexpression? • Does loss of function have functional significance?

  6. Asthma COPD Normal Normal Asthma COPD Localisation of DPP10 in biopsies of asthma and COPD patients. Results were confirmed using Western blot analysis

  7. DPP10 expression is increased in bronchial biopsies of asthmatic subjects DPP10 β-actin Normal Moderate asthma Severe asthma

  8. DPP10 GAPDH * * Increase from control 4hr 24hr Non-stim 1hr Effect of CSE on DPP10 mRNA expression in Beas2B cells

  9. CSE- and H2O2-induced DPP10 is attenuated by NAC * * # Non-stim CSE H2O2 NAC (1mM) CSE + NAC H2O2 + NAC

  10. Overexpression of target genes • Transfection using naked DNA • Transfection aided by Liposomes • Adenoviral infection of cells

  11. Transfection reagent Cell line specific. Need to optimise individually.
