Gene expression in human endometrial cancer tissues and serous papillary endometrial cancer cell line, SPAC-1L, treated by STAT1-siRNA and/or IFN-gamma

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies, and patients with high grade disease, especially serous papillary subtype (SPEC) are often related to the poor outcomes. Recent genome-wide analyses have revealed that SPEC exhibits gene expression profiles that are distinct from the endometrioid histologic subtype; therefore, it is important to identify the SPEC driver genes or pathways responsible for the inherently aggressive phenotypes and to develop SPEC-specific therapies to target these driver genes or pathways.
