Positive Feedback Activation of Estrogen Receptors by the CXCL12-CXCR4 Pathway
7 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Induction of estrogen-regulated gene transcription by estrogen receptors ERalpha and ERbeta plays an important role in breast cancer development and growth. High expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12/stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) has also been correlated with aggressive breast tumor phenotypes. Here, we describe a positive regulatory loop between the CXCR4/SDF-1 signaling...
