The 17β-estradiol (E2)/estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) signaling pathway is one of the most important pathways in hormone-dependent breast cancer. E2 plays pivotal roles cancer cell growth, survival, and architecture as well gene expression regulatory mechanisms. In this study, we established stably transfected MCF-7 cells by knocking down ERα (designated MCF-7/SP10 + cells), using specific shRNA lentiviral particles, compared them with control (MCF-7/c). Interestingly, silencing strongly...
Hyaluronan (HA) modulates key cancer cell functions through interaction with its CD44 and receptor for hyaluronic acid-mediated motility (RHAMM) receptors. HA was recently found to regulate the migration of fibrosarcoma cells in a manner specifically dependent on size. Here, we investigated effect HA/RHAMM signaling ability HT1080 adhere onto fibronectin. Low molecular weight (LMWHA) significantly increased (p ≤ 0.01) adhesion capacity cells, which high inhibited. The RHAMM-deficient but not...
