Even in cancer cells, DNA synthesis, cell division and tumor growth are gated by the circadian clock. This study examined the gene expression profiles of transplanted mouse breast tumor cells under normal light-dark (LD) as well as constant dark (DD) conditions. It was found that the overall percentage of rhythmic transcripts in breast tumor tissue was lower than that in normal tissue. Few transcripts had unaltered rhythmic expression patterns under both LD and DD conditions. Most rhythmic transcripts in DD displayed 12h or shorter periods. These results suggest that in addition to the circadian clock control of gene transcription, altering light, feeding, physical activity and other factors characteristically affect the expression of many genes.}, issn = {1109-6535}, URL = {https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/7/6/311}, eprint = {https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/7/6/311.full.pdf}, journal = {Cancer Genomics \& Proteomics} }
