Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Differential gene expression is crucial in cancer.
  • Traditional methods for identifying these genes are time-consuming.
  • Novel, efficient techniques are needed for gene discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more efficient, nonradioactive method for identifying differentially expressed genes.
  • To combine PCR select cDNA subtraction hybridization with cDNA microarrays.
  • To apply this method to breast cancer cells treated with human prolactin (hPRL) or its antagonist.

Main Methods:

  • Isolated mRNA from treated and non-treated breast cancer cells.
  • Synthesized cDNA and performed PCR subtraction to enrich differentially expressed genes.
