Excerpt

The mechanism behind estradiol-dependent growth of breast cancer is presently not well understood. We show that the hairy and enhancer of split homolog-1 (HES-1) protein level in the breast cancer cell lines T47D and MCF-7 is down-regulated by 17β-estradiol treatment. This regulation could be reversed by addition of the anti-estrogens 4OH tamoxifen, raloxifen and Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) 182,780. Furthermore, T47D cells with inducible exogenous HES-1 expression showed that HES-1 protein needs to be removed in order for 17β-estradiol to have a proliferative effect and subsequently up-regulating proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
