I7f3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (I 7HSD) type I converts the weakly active estrogen, estrone, into highly active estradiol. In addition to being essential for gonadal estradiol biosynthesis, the enzyme is also expressed in a significant proportion of breast tumors. In order to study the role of th

## Abstract 1Ξ±,25βDihydroxyvitamin D~3~ [1Ξ±,25(OH)~2~D~3~], the hormonally active form of vitamin D~3~, has been shown to be a potent negative growth regulator of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. 1Ξ±,25(OH)~2~D~3~ acts through two different mechanisms. In addition to regulating gene tr
The drug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) appears to play an important role in the ability of tumor cells to evade killing by chemotherapeutic agents. Using pharmacological inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), it has been suggested that, similar to rodent model systems, the human P-gp
In many cancer cell lines, including breast, prostate, lung, brain, head and neck, retina, and the gastrointestinal tract, opioids decrease cell proliferation in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. Opioid and/or other neuropeptide receptors mediate this decrease. We report that only the steroid-
Since estrogens play a predominant role in the development and growth of human breast cancer, antiestrogens represent a logical approach to the treatment of this disease. The present study compares the effects of the novel nonsteroidal anti-estrogen EM-800 and related compounds with those of a serie
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in cancer chemotherapy and its inhibition is an effective way to reverse cancer drug resistance. In the present study, we investigated that puerarin, a natural isoflavonoid from Pueraria lobata, down-regulated MDR1 expression in MCF-7/adriamycin (MCF-7/
