Comparative analysis of gene expression of radioresistant prostate cancer cells and prostate cancer progenitors. Homo sapiens

By employing a global gene expression profiling, we performed analysis of the molecular pathways which are deregulated in DU145 ALDH+ prostate cancer progenitors and DU145-RR radioresistant cells. Overall design: Non-sorted, ALDH-negative, and ALDH-positive populations were analyzed, both for parental DU145 cell line and for its radioresistant sub-line. Three independent experiments were performed
