Differential expression in normal-adenoma-carcinoma sequence suggests complex molecular carcinogenesis in colon
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The majority of colon cancers develop from pre-existing adenomas. We analyzed the expression profiles in the sequence of normal colon crypts, adenomas and early-stage carcinomas using microdissected cells from tubular adenomas with foci of malignant transformation. Differentially expressed genes were detected between normal-adenoma and adenoma-carcinoma, and were grouped according to the patterns of expression...
