Characterization of heterotypic interaction effects in vitro to deconvolute global gene expression profiles in cancer
14 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Perturbations in cell-cell interactions are a key feature of cancer. However, little is known about the systematic effects of cell-cell interaction on global gene expression in cancer. RESULTS: We used an ex vivo model to simulate tumor-stroma interaction by systematically co-cultivating breast cancer cells with stromal fibroblasts and determined associated gene expression changes with cDNA...
