Abstrakt     The purpose of this study was to find novel gene(s) involved in the development of lung adenocarcinoma (AD). Using DNA microarrays, we identified 31 up-regulated and 8 downregulated genes in 12 AD. Real time PCR was used to measure expression of VIPR1 and SPP1 mRNA and possible losses or gains of genes in 32 AD. We describe significant upregulation of the SPP1 gene, downregulation of VIPR1, and losses of the VIPR1 gene. Our findings complement a proposed VIPR1 tumor suppressor role, in which deletions in the 3p22 chromosome region are an important mechanism leading to loss of the VIPR1 gene.
