GSE101745: FGF-13 promotes metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer

• Organsim human
• Type RNASEQ
• Target gene
• Project ARCHS4

To define the molecular regulators of metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer, we conducted a rigorous characterization of four isogenic populations of MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells that display a range of intrinsic spontaneous metastatic capacities in immuno-deficient mice, from non-metastatic to highly metastatic to lung, liver, spleen and spine. PAT-Seq gene expression profiling of primary tumor cells identified the fibroblast growth factor homologous factor, FGF13, as a candidate metastatic virulence gene highly upregulated in aggressively metastatic MDA-MB-231HM tumors.
