My group is writing a grant with a proposed dose response experiment on two different rat strains that I have been tasked to provide an analysis method for. Briefly, we have two rat strains that have different preferences for alcohol (one drinks, the other doesn't). We are going to give each line injections for alcohol to see if gene expression in the brain is differentially affected between the 3 strains. We don't, however, know which of several possible doses of alcohol will provide the greatest effect on each of the thousands of genes on our Affy chipset. So, we are proposing to give each line one of 4 doses (zero, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/kg). For any gene, we have no way of knowing a priori what shape the dose response curve will take. We are, for screening purposes, not really interested in the shape of the curve, only that it is not a line with a slope of zero (i.e. no response). We are also, for screening purposed, only interested to know, for each gene, if the response of strain A is different from strain B. In other words, what we want to know is the interaction between strain and dose response. I have searched the literature and the Bioconductor mailing list and cannot find a reference to an experiment of this sort. Can anyone provide some advice? Thanks, Mark Mark W. Kimpel MD ?

Sean, Perhaps it will have to be, I can think of two ways to do that and neither seems entirely satisfactory. Firstly, one could assume that the response (for responding genes) would be linearly related to the dose or the log of the dose, but this might not be the case. So regressing by dose in a linear model might not be correct for all or even most of the affected genes. Secondly, one could simply assume that the dose is a factor with 4 non-ordered levels and look at contrasts and interactions for each level. This would be the approach I am most familiar with using Limma. This would, however, seem to be throwing information away regarding the relationship of the doses to one another. Mark Mark W.

Hi Mark I recommend you to have a look to the maSigPro package and the corresponding publication (Bioinformatics 2006 22(9):1096-1102). The methodology has been designed for decting genes that change between experimental conditions on a data series, normally this would be different treatments along the time component, but could also be different strains along a increasing dose value. You can model different type of responses (linear, quadratic or more sophisticated) although the method finnaly finds the model most suited for each gene. The method does not focus on pair-wise comparisons, but rather detects differences in expression patterns between conditons (thus, strain- dose interactions) or genes that significantly change "somewhere". I hope this package suits your analysis needs Best regards Ana On Sat, 4 Nov 2006 14:45:37 -0500, Kimpel, Mark William wrote > Sean, > > Perhaps it will have to be, I can think of two ways to do that and > neither seems entirely satisfactory.
