Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms involved in resistance to estrogen deprivation are of major importance for optimal patient therapy and the development of new drugs. Long term culture of MCF-7 cells in estrogen (E2)-depleted medium (long term estrogen deprivation; LTED) results in hypersensitivity to E2 coinciding with elevated levels of estrogen receptor (ER) alpha phosphorylated on Ser118 and MAPK, together with several of its...
