Insulin-like Growth Factor-I Receptor (IGF-IR) Translocates to Nucleus and Autoregulates IGF-IR Gene Expression in Breast Cancer Cells
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays an important role in mammary gland biology as well as in the etiology of breast cancer. The IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), which mediates the biological actions of IGF-I and IGF-II, has emerged in recent years as a promising therapeutic target. The IGF and estrogen signaling pathways act in a synergistic manner in breast epithelial cells. The present study was aimed at...
