Expression data from cells located at the invasive front and in the tumor mass of mouse cervical squamous cell carcinomas

Cells located at the invasive front and in the tumor mass of mouse cervical squamous cell carcinomas were isolated by laser microdissection from hematoxylin-stained HPV/E2 sections. 7 months old HPV/E2 mice treated with oestrogen develop invasive cervical squamous cell carcinomas. This model recapitulates human invasive cervical neoplasias. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome of cells located at the invasive front versus cells located in the tumor mass of mouse squamous cell carcinomas. 6 samples per condition (invasive front/tumor mass) were captured from one mouse in different parts of the cervical squamous neoplasias.
