| Abstract;Pharmacogenomics is defined to identify the therapeutic gene clusters which are involved in determining the responsiveness and to distinguish responders and non-responders to a given drug. Genome sequensing, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analysis are of particular significance in pharmacogenomics. Sequencing is used to locate polymorphisms, and monitoring of functional gene expression can provide clue about the genomic response to disease and treatment. The transcriptome analysis can be done by methods of random cDNA sequencing, mRNA display (fluorescent differential display et al.) and differential hybridization (cDNA microarray, oligomicrochip et al.). We used transcriptome/proteome/metabolome analysis to identify therapeutic target genes by studying change of gene expression in animal models and human model cells of various diseases and found novel drug target candidates through this pharmacogenomic strategy. The present study describes combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis for therapeutic target validation in hypoxia-induced vascular remodeling. The pharmacogenomic analysis and pharmainformatics has the potential for strategy to define novel therapeutic gene clusters in various diseases and holds the promise that drugs might be tailor-maid for individuals and adapted to each person's own genetic makeup. These techniques provided an excellent strategy for screening and validation of targets. (author abst.) |
