Project description:To investigate the significant differently expressed genes upon the stimulation of breast cancer patients' sera. Cells were untreated or treated with 10% breast cancer patients' sera for 24h followed by isolation of total RNA using TRIZOL. Gene-expression profiling was performed on the CapitalBio 35k human Genome Array microchips (Beijing, China).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human MCF-7 breast cancer cells comparing MCF-7 cells treated with control medium (DMEM/F12 + 0,5% BSA) with MCF-7 cells treated with conditioned medium of cancer-associated adipose tissue (CMCAAT) obtained from 2 breast cancer patients. Goal was to determine the effects of CMCAAT treatment on global MCF-7 gene expression. Two-condition experiment: MCF-7 control vs. CMCAAT treated cells. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates pooled as 1 (LL 1-2-4), 4 CMCAAT replicates (LL 6, LL 8, LL 9, LL 10)
