FBP1 overexpression in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells

Fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase the key enzyme of gluconeogenesis has emerged as a potential metabolic tumor suppressor. In breast cancer distinct FBP1 expression levels are found depending on subtype. In MDA-MB-231 FBP1 expression is suppressed. To get more insight into potential functions of FBP1 we introduced a vector to reintroduce expression of FBP1. These experiments are part of a more comprehensive study on expression of FBP1 in breast cancer cells. Transfection of MDA-MB231 cells with FBP1 expression vector and empty vector for control.
