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

β¦ Synopsis
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 progesterone-receptor-positive (ER+, PR+) lines as a single species of approximately 10.5 kb but was also comparatively abundant in I ER-and PR-negative cell line, MDA-MB-453.

## Abstract Accumulating evidence indicates that androgens and the androgen receptor modulate the development and progression of breast adenocarcinoma; however, the precise role and actions remain poorly defined. We examined previously the steroid hormone regulation of 2 known androgenβregulated ka
This study examines the relative importance of transcriptional and posttranscriptional actions of retinoic acid (RA) in the regulation of osteopontin gene expression in a rat clonal preosteoblastic cell line, UMR 201. Nuclear run-on analysis demonstrated constitutive expression of the osteopontin ge
## Abstract We previously demonstrated that 4βoxoretinol (4βoxoβROL) activated retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in F9 stem cells. We showed that 4βoxoβROL inhibited the proliferation of normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). To understand the mechanisms by which 4βoxoβROL regulates HMEC growt
