Gene Expression Profiling Reveals Cross-talk between Melanoma and Fibroblasts: Implications for Host-Tumor Interactions in Metastasis
15 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Host-tumor interaction is considered critical in carcinogenesis, tumor invasion, and metastasis. To explore the reciprocal effects of host-tumor interaction, we developed a system to assess the gene expression patterns of A2058 human melanoma cells cocultured in fibrillar collagen with HS-68 primary human fibroblasts. The gene expression pattern of the cocultured A2058 cells was only modestly affected, whereas...
