PDGFRβ signaling cooperates with β-catenin to modulate c-Abl and biologic behavior of desmoid-type fibromatosis [microarray]

Default Boolean Operator: Terms in a search string will be connected by the AND operator, EXAMPLE: searching genomic melanoma will produce the same results as genomic AND melanoma .
AND, OR, NOT: Combine terms in a search with the boolean operators AND (to add specificity), OR (to broaden), or NOT (to eliminate a term). Operators must be capitalized (all other search terms are not case-sensitive).
Wild Card: Add wild card symbols * (open-ended) and ? (single character) to truncate terms. EXAMPLE: searching gen* shows results for 'gene', 'genetic', 'genomic, etc. Searching gene? returns results for 'gene' or 'genes' but not for 'genome'.
Phrase Searching: Enclose search in quotation marks "keyword or search term" to search for an exact phrase. EXAMPLE: "transcription factors" returns results for records where transcription is immediately followed by the word factors .
Diacritics: Words containing diacritics translate those characters to non-diacritic form. EXAMPLE: massague returns results for Massague&#769 .
Filter by: Located on the homepage (left panel), use filters to search for records or narrow the search. From search results page, filters can be removed by clicking on the term at the top of the page.

Description: Summary from GEO:

"Unsupervised clustering of desmoid tumors and normal mesenchymal tissues was performed using henes associated with HIF1 activity. This accurately distiguished neoplastic tissues from normal controls.

The study sought to identify genes differentially expressed in desmoid-type fibromatosis as opposed to normal mesenchymal tissues. We noted that beta-catenin, the central driver in desmoid-type fibromatosis, appeared to regulate HIF1 signaling in in vitro studies. Genes associated with HIF1 and angiogenesis pathways were then used to perform unsupervised clustering on desmoid tumors and normal mesenchymal tissues. The genes accurately differentiated neoplastic and normal samples."

Overall design from GEO:

"Gene set enrichment analysis of desmoid cells treated with shRNA to knockdown CTNNB1 suggested that β-catenin altered HIF1 target expression and angiogenesis-related genes. These genes were used to perform unsupervised clustering on desmoid tumors and normal tissue analyzed by Affymetrix U133A 2.0 gene expression arrays."
