D. Chalbos et al., GENOMIC CROSS-TALK BETWEEN THE ESTROGEN-RECEPTOR AND GROWTH-FACTOR REGULATORY PATHWAYS IN ESTROGEN TARGET TISSUES, Seminars in cancer biology, 5(5), 1994, pp. 361-368
Cell proliferation and differentiation are modulated by both estrogens
and growth factors. Even though these two kinds of effectors interact
with receptors localized in different compartments of the cell, their
nuclear end points are often on the same genes. We review here the fi
rst evidence for transcriptional interference between these two regula
tory pathways which might be essential in understanding the control of
cell proliferation and invasion in human estrogen-responsive cancers.
