Expression data from ALK over-expressed MCF-7 clones and control clones. Homo sapiens

To evaluate the function of ALK in breast cancer, we enforcing expressed full length wild type ALK in the parental MCF-7 breast cancer cell line that we have established in previous studies have a very low invasive capacity, do not form tumor emboli nor do they invade into the dermal lymphatics when grown as xenografts. Overall design: Whole unbiased transcriptome analysis were performed using ALK over-expressed MCF-7 clones and control clones. Pathway mapping revealed that the presence of ALK induced up and down regulation changes of series of genes within several canonical signal pathway.
