Description
Columnar cell hyperplasia (CCH) is the first histologically identifiable lesion in the breast with premalignant potential. Altered miRNA expression in the stroma surrounding CCH compared to normal tissue was discovered. The effect of upregulation of one specific miRNA was investigated by gene expression array in human mammary fibroblasts as well as in epithelial CCH cells coculterd with miR-132 oversexpressing human mammary fibroblasts.
