Gene expression of invasive primary mammary tumor cells characterized
February 24th, 2005
The gene expression profile of invasive primary mammary tumor cells has been characterized. In a recent study, researchers in New York "subjected cells collected using an in vivo invasion assay to cDNA microarray analysis to identify the gene expression profile of invasive carcinoma cells in primary mammary tumors." "Expression of genes involved in cell division, survival, and cell motility were most dramatically changed in invasive cells, indicating a population that is neither dividing nor apoptotic but intensely motile," noted W.G. Wang and coauthors at Yeshiva University. "In particular, the genes coding for the minimum motility machine that...
