Reversal of Tamoxifen Resistance of Human Breast Carcinomas In Vivo by Neutralizing Antibodies to Transforming Growth Factor-
6 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Overexpression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta has been reported in human breast carcinomas resistant to antiestrogen tamoxifen, but the role of TGF-beta in this resistant phenotype is unclear. We investigated whether inhibition of TGF-beta2, which is overexpressed in LCC2 tamoxifen-resistant human breast cancer cells, could modify antiestrogen resistance. METHODS: TGF-beta2 expression was...
