Abstract excerpt
17beta-estradiol (E2) induces ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in several E2-responsive tissues/cells, and this study investigated the mechanism of hormone-induced transactivation in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. E2-induced reporter gene (luciferase) activity in MCF-7 cells transfected with a construct (pODC1) containing the -164 to +29 region of the human ODC gene promoter linked to bacterial...
