Abnormal expression of homeobox genes may lead to the development of leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors. Expression of homeobox genes in mammary glands, however, has not been studied actively until recently. We have examined the expression of POU homeobox genes in human breast cancer cell lines

BACKGROUND. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome arm 18q is common in sporadic prostate cancer and may be involved in cancer development through inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes (TSG). Recent identification, at 18q21.1, of MADR2/Smad2, a key component in transforming growth factor β€ (TGF
As a first step towards elucidating the role that pro-protein convertases play in the growth regulation of breast cancer, we studied the gene expression of 6 known human convertase members (PC1/PC3, PC2, furin/PACE, PACE4, PC5/PC6 and PC7/LPC) in human breast cancer tumors and cell lines. PC1, furin
Glycodelin is a 28 kDa glycoprotein with structural homology to β€-lactoglobulins, particularly expressed in steroidresponsive tissues of the female reproductive tract. We previously found that transfection of glycodelin cDNA into MCF-7 breast cancer cells induces differentiation into organized acina
In primary breast cancer, mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene lead to loss of growth-suppressive properties and poor outcome. Recently, a p53-related gene, termed p73, has been cloned and its gene product possesses a function similar to p53. p73 has been mapped at chromosome 1p36.3, a region
A novel mRNA isoform (meprin b H ) of the cell-surface protease subunit meprin b was previously identified in human colon cancer cells. The study reported here revealed that this mRNA isoform was identical within the protein coding region and at the 3 H end to the b isoform of normal intestine but t
