Microarray analysis of rat mammary carcinogenesis

ABSTRACT: 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat mammary carcinoma is a well-recognized model, however, the genetic alterations during its carcinogenesis have yet to be determined. We used laser capture microdissection to specifically isolate cells from terminal end buds (TEBs), the origin of carcinoma, at 2 weeks after sesame oil- treatment (control) or DMBA-treatment (DMBA-TEBs), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive mammary carcinoma (MC). Using an oligonucleotide microarray representing 20600 rat probe sequences, we analyzed gene expression profiles and validated mRNA and protein levels of genes of interest by real-time quantitative PCR, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The number of differentially expressed genes was smallest in DMBA-TEBs (63), followed by DCIS (79
