Circulating adipose fatty acid binding protein promotes obesity associated breast cancer development

It is still unclear that how obesity increases the risk of breast cancer. To address this question, we used mRNA microarrays to characterize mouse breast tumor EO771 cells treated with mouse recombinant A-FABP protein and compared the data from their controls. EO771 cells were seperated into A-FABP treated group (A-FABP+) and non A-FABP treated group (A-FABP-). They were treated with 100ng/ml recombinant mouse A-FABP and control PBS. Each condition was performed in duplicates.
