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

Expression of the c-erbB3 protein was determined in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder by immunohistochemistry. Strong membrane staining was observed in 10 per cent of cases (7/70) and cytoplasmic and membrane overexpression in 20 per cent (14/70). Overexpression of the epidermal growth fact
Lactogenic hormones which bind to the PRLR are likely to be growth-stimulatory in human breast-cancer cells. Oestrogen and progesterone control cellular expression of the PRLR however, elevated androgen levels in some breast-cancer patients raised the possibility that androgens may also influence br
