Project name: Mus musculus

Description: Primary prostate epithelial cell cultures were established from the VENTRAL prostates of FVB mice . Cells were transduced with retroviral expression vectors encoding a single distinct oncogene (c-Myc, Ha-Ras (V-12), v-Src and NeuT, an activating mutant of ErbB2). Individual colonies of oncogene-transduced cells were selected and characterized. These cell lines demonstrate contact-independent growth characteristics in soft agar and in immune competent mice.To further characterize the molecular genetic signaling pathways regulated by specific oncogenes in prostate epithelial cellsOverall design: mRNA was prepared from the oncogene transformed PEC cell lines, 12 samples(each oncogene has 3 lines) and 3 normal prostate epithelial cell controls in good condition.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
