Cloning and Characterization of a Novel Endothelial Promoter of the Human CYP19 (Aromatase P450) Gene that Is Up-Regulated in Breast Cancer Tissue
27 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Intratumoral expression of aromatase P450 (P450arom) promotes the growth of breast tumors via increased local estrogen concentration. We cloned a novel 101-bp untranslated first exon (I.7) that comprises the 5'-end of 29-54% of P450arom transcripts isolated from breast cancer tissues (n = 7). The levels of P450arom transcripts with exon I.7 were significantly increased in breast tumor tissues and adipose tissue...
