Estradiol Represses the GD3 Synthase Gene ST8SIA1 Expression in Human Breast Cancer Cells by Preventing NFκB Binding to ST8SIA1 Promoter
23 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Recent data have underlined a possible role of G(D3) synthase (GD3S) and complex gangliosides in Estrogen Receptor (ER) negative breast cancer progression. Here, we describe the main transcript of the GD3S coding gene ST8SIA1 expressed in breast tumors. We characterized the corresponding core promoter in Hs578T breast cancer cells and showed that estradiol decreases ST8SIA1 mRNA expression in ER-positive MCF-7...
