GSE113162: The miR-200b/200a/429 cluster prevents metastasis and induces dormancy in murine claudin-low mammary tumor cells

Bulk RNA sequencing

The miR-200 family of microRNAs consisting of miR-141, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c and miR-429 are key regulators of breast cancer progression. The miR200 family maintains mammary epithelial identity and downregulation of miR-200 expression drives the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Re-expression of one or more miR-200 family members in tumor cells with mesenchymal characteristics may restore the epithelial phenotype and alter growth and metastatic potential. To test this, the miR-200b/200a/429 cluster was re-expressed in a murine claudin-low mammary tumor cell line, RJ423 SOURCE: Roger Moorehead (rmoorehe@uoguelph.ca) - University of Guelph
