Screening and identification of differentially expressed transcripts in circulating cells of prostate cancer patients using suppression subtractive hybridization

Abstract: Background: Tumor metastasis and changes in host immunosurveillance are important components in cancer development. Tumor cell invasion into the bloodstream is an essential step for systemic metastasis. Currently, the detection of tumor cells in the circulation is mainly dependent upon the utilization of known epithelial cell markers. However, expression of these molecules is not limited to cancer patients; healthy people also have a small number of epithelial cells in their circulation. Utilizing these marker… Show more

“…These authors (38) suggest that LNCaP cells should be a good model for many aspects of the study of prostate cancers. Several microarray studies have attempted to determine patterns of gene expression that predict therapeutic response (38)(39)(40)(41). In general, this work has identified patterns of differentially expressed genes, but so far it has not been able to establish a set of marker genes that can reliably predict therapeutic response.…”

“…In general, this work has identified patterns of differentially expressed genes, but so far it has not been able to establish a set of marker genes that can reliably predict therapeutic response. It is encouraging that gene expression profiling appears to be possible with circulating tumor cells, which clearly are more accessible than pre-and posttherapy prostate biopsy material (40,41).…”
