Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE18390: Effects of retinoids on estrogen-receptor-positive and -negative breast carcinoma cells: mRNA profiling GSE18628: MicroRNA profiling shows different response to retinoids in estrogen-receptor positive and negative cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:The overall study explores differential sensitivity of estrogen-receptor-positive and -negative breast carcinoma cells to retinoids via gene expression and microRNA profiling in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. This Series reports results of transcriptional profiling of breast carcinoma cell lines comparing the effects of retinoic acid treatment (6 and 48 hours) on estrogen-receptor-positive (MCF7) and estrogen-receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) cells.

This Series reports results of transcriptional profiling of breast carcinoma cell lines comparing the effects of retinoic acid treatment (6 and 48 hours) on estrogen-receptor-positive (MCF7) and estrogen-receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) cells. mRNA profiling: Retinoic-acid-treated (1microM) vs vehicle-treated cells, two time points (6 and 48h), two cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231). Two biological replicates for each condition, balanced dye design.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of invasive breast cancer events from the tamoxifen prevention trial validates low estrogen receptor mRNA level as the main determinant of tamoxifen resistance in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. In NSABP Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT), tamoxifen reduced the incidence of estrogen receptor (ER) positive tumors but not estrogen receptor negative breast cancer. More importantly, only 69% of estrogen receptor positive tumors were prevented by tamoxifen. The ER positive tumors arising in tamoxifen arm provides an ideal clinical model for acquired tamoxifen resistance. Based on data from NSABP trial B14 which showed linear prediction of the degree of benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen by the levels of ESR1 mRNA coding for ER-alpha, we hypothesized a priori that level of ESR1 mRNA would be lower in ER positive tumors arising in tamoxifen arm compared to those in placebo arm of BCPT.

Project description:Systems-wide profiling of breast cancer has so far built on RNA and DNA analysis by microarray and sequencing techniques. Dramatic developments in proteomic technologies now enable very deep profiling of clinical samples, with high identification and quantification accuracy. We analyzed 40 estrogen receptor positive (luminal), Her2 positive and triple negative breast tumors and reached a quantitative depth of more than 10,000 proteins. Comparison to mRNA classifiers revealed multiple discrepancies between proteins and mRNA markers of breast cancer subtypes. These proteomic profiles identified functional differences between breast cancer subtypes, related to energy metabolism, cell growth, mRNA translation and cell-cell communication. Furthermore, we derived a 19-protein predictive signature, which discriminates between the breast cancer subtypes, through Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based classification and feature selection. The deep proteome profiles also revealed novel features of breast cancer subtypes, which may be the basis for future development of subtype specific therapeutics.
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 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.
