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
Maspin is a tumor suppressor whose expression is lost in many advanced breast cancers. Maspin has been shown to inhibit cell motility, invasion and metastasis; however, its precise role in normal mammary epithelium remains to be elucidated. Although expression of maspin mRNA is low or absent in most
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-I (TIMP-I) is known to have at least 2 distinct types of activity, i.e., as a regulator of collagenolytic activity, and erythroid potentiating activity (EPA). In this study, we examined the expression of TIMP-I in human mammary carcinomas, non-malignant breast
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
