Abstract excerpt
Sex hormone-binding globulin, the plasma carrier for sex steroids, inhibits the estradiol-induced proliferation of breast cancer cells. Estradiol induces cell proliferation triggering multiple mechanisms. Besides regulating growth factors, it activates Erk-1/-2, thus inhibiting apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of SHBG on estradiol-mediated anti-apoptotic effect in MCF-7 breast cancer...
