ABCG2 Expression and Side Population Abundance Regulated by a Transforming Growth Factor β–Directed Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
1 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
We describe here the regulation of ABCG2 expression and side population (SP) abundance in MCF7 human breast cancer cells. The level of ABCG2 mRNA and protein were increased in purified MCF7 SP relative to non-SP cells, and incubation with an ABCG2-specific inhibitor or ABCG2 short interfering RNA eliminated the MCF7 SP. The purified MCF7 SP could generate a heterogeneous population containing both SP and non-SP...
