Abstract excerpt
Low concentrations of tamoxifen or its active metabolite 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) induce estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-dependent apoptosis. To analyze the pathway of OHT-ERalpha-induced apoptosis, we developed stably transfected lines of HeLa cells expressing wild-type ER and an inactive mutant ERalpha unable to bind estrogen response elements. HeLa cells expressing the mutant ERalpha and HeLa cells...
