## Abstract Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR) α is a ligand‐activated transcription factor that has been linked with rodent hepatocarcinogenesis. It has been suggested that __PPARα__ mRNA expression levels are an important determinant of rodent hepatic tumorigenicity. Previous work
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
## Abstract The retinoic acid deficiency in breast tumour epithelial cells has been ascribed to an insufficient expression of either the enzyme(s) involved in its biosynthesis or the cellular retinol binding protein (CRBP) or both. In an attempt to define the mechanisms underpinning retinoic acid d
