## Abstract Estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive breast cancer cells have low levels of constitutive NF‐κB activity while ER negative (−) cells and hormone‐independent cells have relatively high constitutive levels of NF‐κB activity. In this study, we have examined the aspects of mutual repression betwe
## Abstract The cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor protein p21^Waf1/Cip1^ is a potent tumor suppressor. Here, we demonstrate that estradiol regulates the p21^Waf1/Cip1^ gene. Estradiol induces p21^Waf1/Cip1^ mRNA expression within 30–60 min independent of new protein synthesis in the estrogen recept
## Abstract We show that flavonoids positively regulate type‐II estrogen‐binding site (type‐ll EBS) levels both in MCF‐7 (ER‐positive) and in MDA‐MB231 (ER‐negative) breast‐cancer cells. Type‐ll EBS were measured by a whole‐cell assay at 4°C for 2.5 hr using [^3^H]‐estradiol as tracer. In both cell
We and others have shown previously that retinoic acid (RA) selectively inhibits the growth of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive human breast carcinoma (HBC) cells and ER-negative cells are refractory to RA inhibition o f growth. The ER-negative cells inherently express lower levels of RARa and retino
Although the androgen receptor (AR) has been detected by ligand-binding assays, there is little known about the expression and regulation of the AR gene in human breast-cancer cells. AR mRNA, measured by Northern analysis in 18 cell lines, was found to be expressed predominantly in oestrogen-and pro
