p53-interacting genes expressed in AML blasts following treatment in vivo with anthracycline and cytarabine and ex vivo with anthracycline. Average fold increase of gene expressions in isolated blasts from 7 AML patients 2–4 h (early response) and 18–24 h (late response) following treatment in vivo with anthracyclines according to Oligo DNA arrays, cDNA arrays and TaqMan Low Density Array (T-LDA).

Permuting relationship between GO-terms and genes induced at late response following in vivo chemotherapy. The iterative group analysis was used to analyze whether gene products associated with any term in gene ontology (GO) were over-represented among those found to be significantly regulated for early and late response. Source http://source.stanford.edu webcite. False discovery rates for the list of reported GO-terms were estimated by performing 100 permutations.

Early gene expression signature of chemotherapy treated AML in vivo. The gene expressions of p53-associated genes implicated in the response to oxidative stress, cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, autophagy and apoptosis using standard anthracycline and cytarabine-based chemotherapy are shown. Red colored receptors and nodes represent upregulated genes observed within the first 24 hours of chemotherapy in vivo.
