Recently, long oligonucleotide (60-70mer) microarrays for two-color experiments have been developed and are gaining widespread use. In addition, when there is limited availability of mRNA from tissue sources, RNA amplification can and is being used to produce sufficient quantities of cRNA for microa...

Microarray data to accompany Gauger et al. (2009) Cancer Cell International paper A treated X untreated design was used whereby immortalized human mammary epithelial cell lines (TERT cells) were modified to stably express an siRNA that knocked down SFRP1 expression. These "treated" cells were label...

Cancer progression is mediated by processes that are also important in wound repair. As a result, cancers have been conceptualized as overhealing wounds or "wounds that do not heal," and gene expression signatures reflective of wound repair have shown value as predictors of breast cancer s...

Results: Normal tissue contamination caused misclassification of tumors in all predictors, but different breast cancer predictors showed different susceptibility to normal tissue bias. Sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of the PAM50 assay was improved by accounting for normal tissue. C...

Purpose: Previous studies of breast tissue gene expression have demonstrated that the extratumoral microenvironment has substantial variability across individuals, some of which can be attributed to epidemiologic factors. To evaluate how mammographic density (MD) and breast tissue composition relat...

Activation of inflammatory pathways is one plausible mechanism underlying the association between obesity and increased breast cancer risk. However, macrophage infiltration and local biomarkers of inflammation in breast adipose tissue have seldom been studied in association with obesity. Gene expres...

Basal-like breast cancers have several well-characterized distinguishing molecular features, but most of these are features of the cancer cells themselves. The unique stromal-epithelial interactions, and more generally, microenvironmental features of basal-like breast cancers, have not been well cha...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Basal-like and luminal breast cancers have distinct stromal-epithelial interactions, which likely play a role in progression to invasive cancer. However, little is known about how stromal-epithelial interactions evolve in benign and pre-invasive lesions.Methods: To study epit...

Introduction: Overall survival of early-stage breast cancer (BC) patients is similar for those who undergo breast conserving therapy (BCT) and mastectomy, however, 10-15% of women undergoing BCT suffer ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. The risk of recurrence may vary with age or breast cancer sub...

Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of tumor adjacent normal tissue from patients with invasive breast cancer, as well as tissue from women undergoing reduction mammoplasty or prophylactic surgery. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profil...
