Project description:To evaluate the function of ALK in breast cancer, we enforcing expressed full length wild type ALK in the parental MCF-7 breast cancer cell line that we have established in previous studies have a very low invasive capacity, do not form tumor emboli nor do they invade into the dermal lymphatics when grown as xenografts.
Project description:To evaluate the function of ALK in breast cancer, we enforcing expressed full length wild type ALK in the parental MCF-7 breast cancer cell line that we have established in previous studies have a very low invasive capacity, do not form tumor emboli nor do they invade into the dermal lymphatics when grown as xenografts. Whole unbiased transcriptome analysis were performed using ALK over-expressed MCF-7 clones and control clones. Pathway mapping revealed that the presence of ALK induced up and down regulation changes of series of genes within several canonical signal pathway.
Project description:We studied genes, that are differentially expressed between malignant and normal breast tissue, to find weak spots for anti-cancer therapy development. RNA sequencing of three cell lines was performed: MCF-7 (epithelial breast cancer cell line), BCC (primary breast tumour cell line) and MCF-10A (epithelial breast cell line).
