BRCA1 modulates malignant cell behavior, the expression of survivin and chemosensitivity in human breast cancer cells
23 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 is a multifunctional tumor-suppressive protein. Many functional aspects of BRCA1 are not fully understood. We used a shRNA approach to probe the function of BRCA1 in human breast cancer cells. Knocking down BRCA1 expression by shRNA in the wild-type BRCA1 human breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in an increase in cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, cell migration, invasion and a...
