Project description:The expression level of S100A10 was much higher in the CD44+ cancer cells metastasized to the liver than those at the primary site in the breast cancer patient-derived tumor xenograft mice. Expression level of S100A10 increased by the oncoprotein, PML/RARα and RAS, and its higher expression is linked to worse outcome in a number of cancer types including breast cancers
Project description:Affymetrix microarray data was generated from MCF7 breast cancer cells treated in vitro with siRNAs against 78 transcription factors and signalling molecules. Gene expresion of 78 functionally important molecules were knocked down in MCF7 breast cancer cells using siRNA. Then the gene expression profiles of these MCF7 cells, along with untreated cells and non-targetting control (SICONTROL) treated cells were analysed using microarrays.
