title: Serial analysis of gene expression identifies putative metastasis-associated transcripts in colon tumour cell lines.
abstract: We have used serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to identify gene expression differences between a primary colon tumour cell line (SW480) and an isogenic lymph-node metastasis cell line (SW620). Differential expression was confirmed for the following genes: keratin K5, cystatin S, serum amyloid A, the human homologue of yeast ribosomal S28 and the p32 subunit of human pre-mRNA splicing factor SF2. Expression of confirmed differences were also analysed in other metastatic cell lines.
