Identification of Genes Regulating Breast Cancer Dormancy in 3D Bone Endosteal Niche Cultures
16 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Tumor cell dormancy is a significant clinical problem in breast cancer. We used a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro model of the endosteal bone niche (EN), consisting of endothelial, bone marrow stromal cells, and fetal osteoblasts in a 3D collagen matrix (GELFOAM), to identify genes required for dormancy. Human triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, but not the bone-tropic metastatic variant,...
