Overlapping but Distinct Gene Regulation Profiles by Glucocorticoids and Progestins in Human Breast Cancer Cells
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids and progestins bind to receptors that share many structural and functional similarities, including virtually identical DNA recognition specificity. Nonetheless, the two hormones mediate very distinct biological functions. For example, progestins are associated with the incidence and progression of breast cancer, whereas glucocorticoids are growth suppressive in mammary cancer cells. To understand...
