Gene expression analysis of Panc1 pancreatic cancer cells with shRNA mediated control (GFP) or ZEB1 knockdown

ABSTRACT: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process in development and disease. If aberrantly activated it is a trigger for tumour progression and metastasis (Thiery et al 2009 Cell). It is now known that EMT activation is also associated with the maintenance of stem-cell properties (Mani et al. 2008 Cell). Since Zinc-finger enhancer binding transcription factor 1 (ZEB1) is a crucial EMT activator, we analyzed the changes in the gene expression profile that accompany shRNA mediated loss of ZEB1 in Panc1 pancreatic cancer cells. Panc1 is a cell line that exhibits relatively high ZEB1 levels and changes to a more benign phenotype upon ZEB1 knock down (Wellner et al. 2009 Nature Cell Biology). Panc1 cells were stably transfected with control (GFP) or ZEB1 shRNA. Upon puromycin
