High-throughput ectopic expression screen for tamoxifen resistance identifies an atypical kinase that blocks autophagy
13 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to tamoxifen in breast cancer patients is a serious therapeutic problem and major efforts are underway to understand underlying mechanisms. Resistance can be either intrinsic or acquired. We derived a series of subcloned MCF7 cell lines that were either highly sensitive or naturally resistant to tamoxifen and studied the factors that lead to drug resistance. Gene-expression studies revealed a signature...
