| Abstract | Expression pharmacogenomics includes differential gene expression (DGE) profiling of drug responses in model systems to generate a set of differentially modulated drug-responsive genes which can serve as a surrogate measure for drug action. In this manner, expression pharmacogenomics bridges the fields of genomics and medicinal chemistry. Additionally, modulated genes can be organized into metabolic and signaling pathways that highlight the mechanism of drug activity in a selected tissue. Here, we describe the application of expression pharmacogenomics to characterize a drug response in the clinically relevant in vivo model, the Sprague-Dawley rat. Following oral dosing of rats with GW9578, a novel synthetic peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα) ligand indicated for lipid disorders, we applied GeneCalling, a differential mRNA transcript profiling technique, to rat liver cDNA. Following GW9578 treatment, 2.4% of the rat liver genes were differentially expressed. We confirmed the sequence identity of 50 distinctly modulated genes. DGE was observed among genes representative of at least six discrete metabolic pathways. Furthermore, we observed up-regulation of 20 genes involved in mitochondrial, peroxisomal and microsomal fatty acid oxidation, consistent with molecular biological and clinical data indicating PPARα ligand principal efficacy to be through increasing fatty acid metabolism. Those pathways regulated in our study that are potentially contributory to target effect, non-target adverse effects, or of unknown consequence include xenobiotic detoxification and steroid modification. Finally, comprehensive drug response profiling can lead to the serendipitous discovery of novel disease indications. In this case, these results suggest a potential novel indication for GW9578 in the treatment of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. We have shown, therefore, that the organization of DGE results into metabolic and signaling pathways can elucidate mechanisms of pharmacologically desired (i.e., efficacious) and, where appropriate, undesired (i.e., potentially deleterious) effects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
