## Abstract We have shown previously that withaferin A (WA), a promising anticancer constituent of Ayurvedic medicine plant __Withania somnifera__, inhibits growth of MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 human breast cancer cells in culture and MDA‐MB‐231 xenografts in vivo by causing apoptosis. However, the mecha

An association exists in primary human breast tumors between high epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and a reduced number or even absence of estrogen receptors (ER). To determine whether an increase in EGFR expression might alter the estrogen responsiveness of an ERpositive human bre
## Abstract Estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive breast cancer cells have low levels of constitutive NF‐κB activity while ER negative (−) cells and hormone‐independent cells have relatively high constitutive levels of NF‐κB activity. In this study, we have examined the aspects of mutual repression betwe
A number of studies suggest that an inverse correlation exists between the epidermal growth factor-receptor and the estrogen receptor expression in primary human breast carcinoma as well as in established human breast carcinoma cell lines. Recent studies suggest that the epidermal growth factor-rece
