Ductal Carcinoma Progression

ABSTRACT: To obtain insight into the molecular basis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and its progression by infiltrating surrounding tissue, we have performed cellular-based gene expression analysis of pure DCIS and DCIS with co-existing invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and compared the histological and molecular aspects between these morphologically identical lesions seeking to find key genes involved in DCIS progression. For that, 30 samples were evaluated, 4 non-neoplastic (N), 5 pure DCIS, 11 DCIS with co-existing IDC (DCIS-IDC) and 10 IDC. All samples were laser capture microdissected and RNAs were amplified using T7-based methodology. Microarray technology was performed using a customized cDNA platform containing 4,608 human genes. To classify the 4 sample groups according to molecular simil
