Abstract excerpt
Beta-estradiol (17beta-E2) augments VEGF-A expression in various estrogen targeted organs and cells including breast tumor derived cell lines, via an ER-alpha mediated pathway. Ironically, 17beta-E2 is able to regulate some genes via ER-alpha independent pathways. In the present study, we sought to determine whether 17beta-E2 can modulate VEGF-A expression in absence of ER-alpha, and therefore, three different...
