Abstract excerpt
PTHrP is secreted by breast cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. In the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, PTHrP overexpression is associated with increased mitogenesis. We used this cell line to study the mechanism for the proliferative effects of PTHrP. Clonal MCF-7 lines were established overexpressing wild-type PTHrP or PTHrP mutated in the nuclear localization signal (NLS). Mutation of the NLS negated the...
