RNA-seq of mRNA from MCF7 breast cancer cells and samples derived from normal breast tissues

ABSTRACT: To improve our understanding of the effect of differential methylation on gene expression between normal and tumor breast cells, we carried out RNA sequencing evaluate mRNA expression changes in normal breast tissue and MCF7 breast cancer cell line. We identified 6632 protein-coding genes to be significantly differentially expressed (FDR threshold of 0.05) in the MCF7 cells. IPA Bio-Function enrichment analysis showed the 'cell death and survival' and 'cellular growth and proliferation' are the top 2 terms associated with differentially expressed genes. Cancer versus normal analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Breast data revealed genes that were differentially up and down-regulated in MCF7 are mostly respectively over- and under-expressed in clinical specimens.
