Journal ArticleDOI

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is shown that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression, indicating that l incRNAs have active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Definition of Breast Tumor Heterogeneity

TL;DR: In this paper, gene expression and genetic profiles of cells purified from cancerous and normal breast tissue using markers previously associated with stem-cell-like properties were determined using markers from the TGF-β pathway, where its inhibition induced a more epithelial phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct mutagenesis of Ha- ras -1 oncogenes by N -nitroso- N -methylurea during initiation of mammary carcinogenesis in rats

TL;DR: Each of the Ha-ras-1 oncogenes present in tumours induced by N-nitroso-N-methylurea, but not in those induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, became activated by the same G → A transition, the type of mutation induced by W → N → G → M transition.
