Estradiol Regulates Different Genes in Human Breast Tumor Xenografts Compared with the Identical Cells in Culture

Abstract excerpt

In breast cancers, estrogen receptor (ER) levels are highly correlated with response to endocrine therapies. We sought to define mechanisms of estrogen (E) signaling in a solid breast tumor model using gene expression profiling. ER(+) T47D-Y human breast cancer cells were grown as xenografts in ovariectomized nude mice under four conditions: 1) 17beta-estradiol for 8 wk (E); 2) without E for 8 wk (control); 3) E...
