Excerpt
BRCA1 possesses a number of features common to transcriptional regulatory proteins, suggesting that it may regulate the expression of one or more downstream genes. It is important to determine which genes are transcriptionally influenced by
BRCA1 in vivo to explain its role in tumor suppression and in cancer development. In our previous study, a BRCA1 overexpression system enabled us to define the genes whose expression levels were induced in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by using the PCR-dependent suppression subtractive hybridization technique [
