Transcription profiling by array of BT474 and SKBr3 human breast cancer cell lines following treatment with hIgG or trastuzumab

We found that trastuzumab (herceptin) treatment significantly decreased five miRNAs and increased three others in SKBr3 cells, whereas in BT474 cells it significantly decreased two miRNAs and increased nine. The only miRNA that shared the same change in both cell lines was miRNA-194 (miR-194), which was upregulated following trastuzumab treatment.
