Abstract excerpt
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway plays an essential role in cell cycle progression and can be activated by many growth factor/mitogen pathways including estrogen. MAPK has also been implicated in ligand-independent activation of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha). The development of estrogen-independent growth in breast cancer is likely a first step in progression to hormone...
