Example sentences for: ecm-related
How can you use “ecm-related” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
To test our hypothesis that A549 cells and U118 cells each express a restricted set of ECM-related genes in tumors, we built a classifier for distinguishing between A549 and U118 cell-culture profiles.
Second, different cell adhesion and ECM-related genes are upregulated in tumors of different cell types (A549 versus U118); if the upregulation were due to a common mouse source, then the same genes should have appeared upregulated in both cell types, given that the cells were grown in the same site.
The classifier distinguished perfectly between A549 and U118 profiles, which indicates that the expression pattern of ECM-related genes upregulated in the A549 tumors is more similar to the expression pattern of the same genes in the A549 cell cultures than it is to the expression of these genes in the U118 cell cultures, and vice versa.
These observations gave rise to the hypothesis that, when placed in comparable tissue environments, cancer cells from different lineages may express different cell adhesion and ECM-related genes.
