Microarray expression profiles in S18 and S26 human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines. Microarray expression profiles in S18 and S26 human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines

Metastasis accounts for the leading cause of treatment failure in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the exact mechanisms underlying metastasis remain elusive. S18 and S26 are a pair of NPC cell lines with high and low metastasis abilities, respectively. To evaluate the expression profiles of mRNA in S18 and S26 cells will help to demonstrate genes that contribute the metastasis of NPC. We performed microarray sequencing to clarify the genes that differentially expressed in S18 and S26 cells. Overall design: The total RNA of S18 and S26 cells was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.
