Data from immunocytochemical assessment of estrogen receptor (ER) regulation in MCF-7 cells under estrogenic and anti-estrogenic stimulation were compared with those obtained by enzyme immunoassay (Abbott ER-EIA). Similar trends were observed, although ER level variations were less marked when asses

This report describes an investigation of the role of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (VD 3 ) in the regulation of estrogen receptor-␣ (ER) in the ER-positive breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Treatment of cells with 10 nM VD 3 resulted in a 50% decline in the concentration of ER protein at 24 h. Scatchard an
## Abstract Breast cancer is the most common malignancy of women in Western societies. The increasing exposure to electromagnetic fields has been suspected to contribute to the rising incidence of breast cancer in industrialized countries. The majority of breast tumors is treated with the partial a
To analyze transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) response during MCF-7 cell progression, early passage (MCF-7E, õ200 passage) and late passage (MCF-7L, ú 500 passage) cells were compared. MCF-7E cells showed an IC 50 of Ç10 ng/ ml of TGF-b1, whereas MCF-7L cells were insensitive. MCF-7E cells contain
Endocrine treatments for human breast cancer have been based largely upon the removal of estrogenic stimuli. The regression of tumors after estrogen deprivation has generally been characterized as being due to reduced proliferation but more recently has been recognized to also involve increased apop
bcl-2 expression is often associated with poor prognosis in several types of tumors; however, the role of this molecule in breast cancer is still controversial. We found earlier that over-expression of bcl-2 in a human breast-cancer cell line (MCF7 ADR ) enhances its tumorigenicity and metastatic po
