Neuropilin-1 Knockout and Rescue Confirm its Role to Promote Metastasis in MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells

To investigate the function of Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing was used to knockout (KO) the NRP-1 gene in MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined in NRP-1 KO and parental MDA-MB-231 cells using whole transcriptome next-generation sequencing. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for MDA-MB-231 cells and its KO derivatives (NRP-1 KO).
