to assess the biological activity of vorinostat, including the identification of possible biomarkers of HDAC inhibitor activity, and to monitor radiological response when given with pelvic radiotherapy. The study data on patient treatment tolerability, tumor histone acetylation following vorinostat administration, and treatment-induced changes in tumor volume and DprE1-IN-1 apparent distribution coefficient, as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, have been reported in detail previously. This analysis was performed by the Norwegian Genomics Consortium. Briefly, cRNA synthesis, amplification, and hybridization to Illumina Human WG-6 v3 Expression BeadChip arrays, containing 48,000 probes, were carried out as per manufacturer��s instructions. Signal intensities were extracted by the BeadArray Reader Software, and raw data were imported into the GenomeStudio v2010.1 Software, Gene Expression module v1.6.0. The primary array data are available in the Gene Expression Omnibus data repository. Analysis was performed using Bioconductor vR2.11.1 and the Bioconductor packages lumi 1.14.0, linear models for microarray data 3.4.4, and illuminaHumanv3BeadID.db 1.6.0. Following quality control and pre-processing, the data were log2-transformed, and differential gene expression between the sample groups T0, T2, and T24 was determined by applying a Benjamin and Hochberg false discovery rate-adjusted P-value cut-off of 0.05. The total number of probes that were DEL-22379 identified as differentially expressed was analyzed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery, DAVID v6.7. Enriched biological processes and pathways were identified using the GOTERM_BP_FAT and KEGG_- PATHWAY algorithms, applying a P-value cut-off of 0.01. Differential expression analysis of the array data was also performed using a P-value of 0.01 and a log2-fold change cut-off of 1.0 in order to identify genes whose expression changes could have potentially high biological significance. Primary tumor biopsies were sampled at the time of diagnosis from LARC patients enrolled onto a phase 2 study on neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The biopsy samples were snapfrozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at
