RNA-seq of the human breast cancer ERα-suppressed MCF-7(MCF-7/SP10+) cells and of their internal control MCF-7 (MCF-7/C) cells

ABSTRACT: Estrogens receptor a (ERα) is essential for breast tumors,since about seventy percent of breast cancers are detected as ERα positive.Recent studies suggest that ERα is related with the epithelial cell morphology. Recently, it has demonstrated that the suppression of ERα induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the MCF-7 breast cacner cells. Interestingly, the loss of ERa resulted in strong differences on the gene expression profile of a variety of genes. Therefore, the aim of the RNA-seq is to elucidate the effect of the silencing of ERα on the mRNA levels of a larger variety of genes, thus revealing possible target genes which may be implicated on the aggressive phenotype and behavior of the ERα-suppresed MCF-7/SP10+ breast cancer cells. For this reason total RNA from both MCF-7/SP10+ cells and of their internal control MCF-7/C cells was extracted in 3 biological replicates and 3 technical replicates.
