These two compounds displayed potent cancer cell growth inhibition, their IC50 values reaching nanomolar order. To examine their effects on transcription, we carried out oligonucleotide microarray analysis with focus on the similarities and differences between the two compounds in terms of transcriptional profiles. We found that the down-regulation of PTPRK (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type K) can be considered as a biomarker responsive to the cytotoxic effects of this class of antitumor marine natural products. %K renieramycin M %K jorunnamycin C %K marine sponge %K oligonucleotide microarray %K antitumor agent %U http://www.mdpi.com/1660-3397/7/4/483
