Estrogen Receptor/Sp1 Complexes Are Required for Induction of<i>cad</i>Gene Expression by 17β-Estradiol in Breast Cancer Cells
14 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
The cad gene is trifunctional and expresses carbamoylphosphate synthetase/aspartate carbamyltransferase/dihydroorotase, which are required for pyrimidine biosynthesis. Cad gene activities are induced in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, and treatment of MCF-7 or ZR-75 cells with 10 nM 17beta-estradiol (E2) resulted in a 3- to 5-fold increase in cad mRNA levels in both cell lines. The mechanism of hormone-induced...
