Abstract in Portuguese
Etiquetas de sequências expressas (ESTs) são fundamentais para a identificação de genes no genoma humano e para definir características de expressão gênica. Neste trabalho, descrevemos uma nova abordagem para a geração de bibliotecas de cDNA, utilizando iniciadores arbitrários para a produção, por PCR, de mini-bibliotecas a partir de mRNA derivado de câncer de mama. Clones destas bibliotecas foram sequenciadas para gerar 6029 ESTs. Utilizando esta abordagem, foi possível observar uma significante normalização das diferentes sub-populações de mRNA e amplificação preferencial de porções centrais dos genes. Análise bioinformática destas sequências mostra que 3.350 ESTs (56%) tem similaridade significante a sequências de DNA e/ou cDNA já conhecidas (sequências anotadas) descritas em diferentes organismos, e 1509 ESTs (25%) não possuem qualquer similaridade a diferentes bancos de dados. Dentre as sequências anotadas, identificamos algumas sequências com alta similaridade a genes conhecidos em diferentes organismos, indicando a descoberta de alguns genes homólogos possivelmente envolvidos com processos carcinogênicos. Como exemplo, isolamos e caracterizamos parcialmente (i) uma nova isoforma do gene NABC1 (novel amplified sequence in breast carcinoma 1), o qual é pouco expresso em tumores coloretais, (ii) um novo gene da família de semaforinas (moléculas de motilidade axonal) que apresenta uma baixa expressão em linhagens celulares de glioblastoma tratadas com ácido retinóico, um agente antitumoral e (iii) o gene ortólogo humano Notch 2, aparentemente superexpresso em tumores mamários com maior malignidade.

Abstract in English
Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are of fundamental importance for the identification of genes within the human genome and defining gene expression characteristics. In this work, we describe a new approach for generating cDNA libraries using essentially arbitrary primers to construct PCR-based minilibraries from breast tumor mRNA. Clones from these libraries were sequenced to generate 6,029 ESTs. Using this approach, we were able to observe a significant normalization of the different mRNA subpopulations and a preferential amplification of the central portions of the genes. Bioinformatic analysis of these sequences shows that 3,350 ESTs (56%) have significant similarity to known DNA and/or cDNA sequences (annotated sequences) from different organisms and 1,509 ESTs (25%) show no similarity to any sequences on different databases. From the annotated sequences, we have identified some sequences with high similarity to known genes from different organisms, indicating the discovery of some homologous genes possibly correlated with carcinogenic processes. For instance, we have isolated and partially characterized (i) a new NABC1 (novel amplified sequence in breast carcinoma 1) isoform which is downregulated in colorectal tumors, (ii) a novel semaphorin member of axon guidance molecules that is down-regulated in glioblastoma cell lines treated with all-trans-retinoic acid, an anti-tumor agent and (iii) the ortolog Notch 2 human gene, apparenty overexpressed in breast tumors with higher malignancy.
