The pituitary tumor transforming (PTTG) gene family comprises PTTG1, 2, and 3. Forced expression of PTTG1 (securin) induces cellular transformation and promotes tumor development in animal models. PTTG1 is overexpressed in various human cancers. However, the expression and pathogenic implications of
## Abstract Berberine has been shown to have anti‐carcinogenic effects. Since p53 is the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor gene, and a lack of functional p53 is associated with an increased risk of cancer development, we examined the effects of berberine on p53‐positive and p53‐deficient non‐s
We report here that the antiestrogen tamoxifen (TAM) induces cell death in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. We assessed the type of cell death induced by TAM in this breast cancer cell line on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics. Dying cells showed morphological characteri
## Abstract 2‐Methoxyestradiol, a well‐known nonpolar endogenous metabolite of 17β‐estradiol, has been shown to selectively induce apoptosis in a number of cancer cell lines, but not in normal cells. The mechanism of 2‐methoxyestradiol‐induced apoptosis appears to vary considerably in different cel
