Transcription profiling by array of human breast cancer cell line MCF7 expressing TAP tagged ER-alpha following hormone treatment

MCF-7 TET Off cells (MCF-7 wt) were used to produce stable clones expressing ER-alpha tagged with TAP-tag at the C-term (C-TAP-ER-alpha). All cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), starved by using DMEM w/o phenol red and 5% Dextran Coated Charcoal stripped serum (DCC-FBS) for 5 days. Cells were stimulated with 17 beta Estradiol (E2), 4-idrossi-tamoxifen (Tam), raloxifene (Ral) and Fulvestrant (ICI) at the concentration of 10-8M for 12 hours or with vehicle Ethanol. Biological replicate were lysed and RNA extracted were pooled. For mRNA expression profiling, 500 ng total RNA were reverse transcribed and used for synthesis of cDNA and biotinylated cRNA. Finally cRNA were hybridized for 19 hours on Illumina HumanHT-12 v4.0 BeadChips and after scanning, data analysis was performed.
