Project description:To identify biomarkers regulated by traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus Fischer Bge. var. mongolicus Bge. Hsiao in colorectal cancer. We have identified several differentially expressed genes including microRNAs using Affymetrix HTA-2.0 array. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from colon cancer cell line HCT116 grafted into nude mice. The mice was treated either water or traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus for 28 days. These data are used to obtain 1425 genes that are differentially expressed in response to Astragalus membranaceus treatment.
Project description:Astragalus polysaccharides (APS), as one of the main effective components of astragalus, have been reported to regulate the processes of inflammation, metabolism, and carcinogenes. We used microarrays to detect the different expression of mRNA in PC3 cells upon APS treatment.
