Abstract excerpt
Tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen and breast cancer chemotherapeutic, exhibits both estrogen agonist and antagonist properties. Rat GC3 cells grown under estrogen-free conditions were analyzed for the expression of model luciferase reporter genes, either positively or negatively regulated by estrogens. Expression assays adding tamoxifen alone or in combination with 17 beta-estradiol were performed to...
