Abstract
Studies have shown that simulated microgravity (SMG) affects tumor cell growth and metastasis. However, the underlying molecular basis is still not known. In recent years, due to the high expression of CD44 in invasive basal breast tumors, it has been the subject of many studies. The aim of present study was to investigate the gene expression of CD44 in MDA-MB-231cell line of breast cancer in microgravity conditioncell line was proliferated under normal gravity and microgravity (1 and 3 days) using 2-D clinostat. Gene expression was measured using real-time PCR technique. SMG increased gene expression (100%) after 1 day and decreased it (15%) during 3 days in comparison to the control samples. It seems that the response of cancer cells to microgravity is time dependent and simulated microgravity treatment for 3 days may have a positive effect on cancer characteristics of MDA-MB-231 cell line in order to decrease the expression of CD44.
