Taxanes and gene expression in breast cancer cells.
We analyzed expression of genes participating in apoptotic and oncogenesis processes under influence of paclitaxel applied in treatment of breast carcinoma. Analysis showed, that in a group of cells where paclitaxel was administered at lower dose (60 ng/mL) it caused statistically significant increase of expression of pro and antiapoptotic genes, genes coding caspases and oncogenes in comparison to control group.
