Transcription profiling by array of human breast cancer metastases

ABSTRACT: Comparisons among breast cancer metastases at different organs revealed distinct microenvironments as characterized by cytokine content. Such microenvironment distinction might be important to dictate how the cancer cells adapt to survival before they successfully colonize. Experiment Overall Design: 58 breast cancer metastases from different organs were profiled and compared by the expression level of over 400 cytokines. 29 samples were incuded in this series. 29 others as well as 7 in the present series were profiled on U133A platforms and included in series GSE14018.
