Project description:Metabolism of anticancer drugs markedly affects their antitumor effects. The major goal of our study was to investigate associations of gene expression of enzymes metabolizing taxanes and/or anthracyclines with therapy response and survival of breast carcinoma patients The present study investigated transcript levels of key modulators of oxysterol signaling pathway, including oxysterol receptors, metabolic enzymes and transporters in the group of hormone-receptor positive breast carcinoma patients to evaluated potential clinical significance of these genes.

The major goal of our study was to investigate associations of gene expression of enzymes metabolizing taxanes and/or anthracyclines with therapy response and survival of breast carcinoma patients The present study investigated differences in transcript levels of key modulators of oxysterol signaling pathway, including oxysterol receptors, metabolic enzymes and transporters in the groups of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast carcinomas in comparison to estrogen receptor negative (ER-) ones, and to control non-tumor tissues.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Refer to individual Series The SNP and expression datasets represent the same samples (i.e., the 26 SNP6 samples are a subset of the 28 expression samples)
