General description
Estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer is the most common type of breast cancer. About 80% of all breast cancers express the estrogen receptor (ER+) and depend on estrogen to support the growth and spread of the cancer cells. Hormonal therapy, such as tamoxifen, may help slow or stop the growth of ER+ breast cancers by blocking the actions of estrogen. Primary or acquired tamoxifen resistance poses a major clinical challenge in the treatment of ER+ breast cancer. The MCF-7/TAMR-1 cell line provides a model cell system for studying tamoxifen resistance, elucidating signaling pathways involved in tamoxifen-resistant growth, and identifying new predictive markers for response to hormonal therapy.
MCF-7/TAMR-1 is a tamoxifen-resistant cell line derived from the MCF-7/SO.5 cell line that has been adapted to grow at low serum concentration under the long-term treatment with 1 M with tamoxifen. MCF-7/TAMR-1 cells should be maintained in 1 M tamoxifen and may be compared with the parental MCF-7/S0.5 cells, which are sensitive to tamoxifen.

The human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 requires oestrogen to produce and promote growth of tumours in athymic mice. In vitro, however, MCF-7 cells proliferate rapidly without supply of oestrogen (Briand & Lykkesfeldt, 1984). Oestrogen stimulation of proliferation of MCF-7

In breast cancer, 17β-estradiol (E2) plays critical roles mainly by binding to its canonical receptor, estrogen receptor (ER) α66, and eliciting genomic effects. E2 also triggers rapid, nongenomic responses. E2 activates sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1), increasing sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) that binds

Breast cancer (BC) is a common malignant tumor in females. The challenge in treating BC is overcoming chemoresistance. Exosome-mediated transfer of miRNAs is a molecule-shuttle in intercellular communication. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether exosomal miRNA-205 could affect chemoresistance and
