Abstract excerpt
We examined transforming growth factor (TGF) alpha, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGF receptor (EGFR) expression and signaling in three drug resistant MCF-7 human breast cancer sublines and asked whether these pathways contribute to the drug resistance phenotype. In the resistant sublines, upregulation of both TGFalpha and EGFR mRNA was observed. In an apparent contrast with upregulated growth factor and...
