Since the small heat shock protein hsp27 enhances both growth and drug resistance in breast cancer cells, and is a bad prognostic factor in certain subsets of breast cancer patients, we have characterized the transcriptional regulation of hsp27, with the long-term goal of targeting its expression cl

โฆ Synopsis
The nuclear matrix, besides providing the structural support of the nucleus, is involved in various cellular functions of the nucleus. Nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs), which are both tissue-and cell type-specific, are altered with transformation and state of differentiation. Furthermore, NMPs have been identified as informative markers of disease states. Here, the NMP profiles from human breast cancer cell lines and breast tumours were analyzed using two-dimension gel electrophoresis. We identified NMPs that are associated with well and poorly differentiated human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Five NMPs (NMBC 1-5) were found to be exclusive for well-differentiated human breast cancer cells, while one NMP (NMBC-6) was found to be present only in poorly differentiated human breast cancer cells. The identification of these proteins suggests the potential use of nuclear matrix proteins as prognostic indicators. J.

We showed previously that a sequential treatment with doxorubicin (4 hr) followed by paclitaxel (24 hr) (Dox=Pacl) induces a synergistic cytotoxic effect in the BRC-230 breast cancer cell line and in human primary breast cancer cultures. The validity of this experimental finding was confirmed in a c
Ebp1, an ErbB-3 binding protein, translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of human breast cancer cells after treatment with the ErbB-3 ligand, heregulin. The purpose of these studies was to examine the effects of ectopic expression of ebp1 on the biological properties of human ErbB-3-expressin
This study explored the activity of natural interferon-alpha (nIFN-a) in regulating cell growth of 6 breast-cancer cell lines. The anti-proliferative effect of the combination nIFN-a and tamoxifen (TAM) or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in CG-5 estrogen-sensitive mammary cancer cells was investig
