Er. To identify other prospective breast cancer-associated genes regulated by -D-glucan, we performed PCR array evaluation on 84 genes frequently dysregulated during breast carcinogenesis and in breast cancer cell lines (Breast Cancer PCR array PAHS-131Z, SABiosciences). For these experiments, MCF-7 or LCC9 cells were serum-starved for 48 h in phenol red-free medium after which treated in duplicate with DMSO (vehicle handle), ten nM E2, 100 nM 4-OHT, or 10 or 50 /ml -D-glucan for 24 h. Using a 2-fold reduce off, -D-glucan altered the expression of 17 genes in MCF-7 cells: eight downregulated and 9 upregulated. Some, but not all, genes showed a dose-dependent effect of -D-glucan, e.g., IGFBP3 showed a greater decrease with 50 than 10 /ml -D-glucan (Table I). Within the group of genes with elevated expression in MCF-7 with -D-glucan, some -D-glucan regulated genes had a related expression pattern as with E two therapy and other people showed similarity with 4-OHT treatment (Table II). -D-glucan altered the expression of eight genes in LCC9: 3 downregulated and 5 upregulated (Tables III and IV). E2 altered the expression of 17 genes in MCF-7: 9 downregulated and 8 upregulated. 4-OHT altered the expression of eight genes in MCF-7: 1 downregulated and 7 upregulated. E2 altered the expression of 5 genes in LCC9: 2 downregulated and three upregulated. 4-OHT altered the expression of ten genes in LCC9: 5 downregulated and five upregulated. We note that 17 genes showed reduce expression in LCC9 than MCF-7 cells (Table V). Conversely, 31 genes showed greater expression in LCC9 than MCF-7 cells (Table VI).JAFAAR et al: -D-GLUCAN IN BREAST CANCER CELLSTable II.
