RNA-sequencing of tamoxifen-resistant and -sensitive breast cancer cell lines.. Homo sapiens

We performed RNA-sequencing on 7 tamoxifen-resistant (MCF-7 Tam1, T-47D Tam1, T-47D Tam2, ZR-75-1 Tam1, ZR-75-1 Tam2, BT474 Tam1 and BT-474 Tam2) and their isogenic parental (MCF-7, T-47D, ZR-75-1 and BT-474) breast cancer cell lines. The tamoxifen-resistant cell lines were generated from the parentel cell lines by continuous administration of 1 µM 4-OH-tamoxifen for eight to twelve months. RNA- sequencing was performed to determine the changes in the expression of genes in the resistant clones.
