This protocol provides an overview of the comparative CT method for quantitative gene expression studies and various examples to present quantitative gene Expression data using this method.
Abstract
Two different methods of presenting quantitative gene expression exist: absolute and relative quantification. Absolute quantification calculates the copy number of the gene usually by relating the PCR signal to a standard curve. Relative gene expression presents the data of the gene of interest relative to some calibrator or internal control gene. A widely used method to present relative gene expression is the comparative C(T) method also referred to as the 2 (-DeltaDeltaC(T)) method. This protocol provides an overview of the comparative C(T) method for quantitative gene expression studies. Also presented here are various examples to present quantitative gene expression data using this method.

EDB fibronectin specific peptide for prostate cancer targeting

TL;DR: The development of a small peptide specific to EDB-FN for targeting prostate cancer is reported, which shows stronger binding to human prostate tumor specimens with a higher Gleason score compared to those with a lower score, with no binding in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Rac2 controls tumor growth, metastasis and M1-M2 macrophage differentiation in vivo.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the small GTPase, Rac2 controls macrophage M1 to M2 differentiation and the metastatic phenotype in vivo and a novel molecular mechanism by which signals transmitted from the extracellular matrix via the α4β1 integrin and MCSF receptor lead to the activation of Rac2 and potentially regulate macrophages M2 differentiate.

Fluoxetine treatment affects the inflammatory response and microglial function according to the quality of the living environment.

TL;DR: Results show that the effects of fluoxetine treatment on inflammation and microglial function, as compared to vehicle, were dependent on the quality of the living environment and may be crucial to devise pharmacological strategies aimed at enhancing antidepressant efficacy by means of controlling environmental conditions.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns

TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

A Multigene Assay to Predict Recurrence of Tamoxifen-Treated, Node-Negative Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The recurrence score has been validated as quantifying the likelihood of distant recurrence in tamoxifen-treated patients with node-negative, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer and could be used as a continuous function to predict distant recurrent in individual patients.
