Elevated expression of FOXM1 mRNA in breast cancer cell lines. Semiquantitative realtime PCR (LightCycler) of FOXM1 expression was performed on reverse transcribed RNA from non-malignant (white bars) and malignant cell lines (black bars). A significant difference in expression between both groups was detected (P = 0.048), whereas classification of malignant breast cell lines into oestrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative revealed no significant coherence with FOXM1 expression (P = 0.655; two-tailed Mann-Whitney U-test).
