Transcription profiling by array of three non-small cell lung cancer cell lines upon TGFb-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) against untreated counterparts to study EMT's role in tumour metastasis

ABSTRACT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition has been implicated in tumor metastasis, cancer drug resistance and cancer stem cell features. In this study, we examined gene expression profiles of three non-small cell lung cancer cell lines, before and after experimentally induced EMT. We modeled epitheial-mesenchyml transition by culturing A549, HCC827 and NCI-H358 cells in the presence of TGFb for three weeks, and compared gene expression profiles of the paretnal cells and cells after EMT.
