| Abstract | We have investigated the expression of insulin-like growth factor I receptors (IGFR) by the ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cell line and tamoxifen-resistant (ZR-75-9a1) and oestrogen-independent (ZR-PR-LT) variants. ZR-75-1 cells expressed 6633+/-953 receptors per cell,(K(d) 0.24+/-0.06 nM). IGFR expression was reduced in ZR-75-9a1 cells (1180+/-614 receptors per cell, K(d) 0.13+/-0.05) and increased in the ZR-PR-LT cell line (18 430+/-3210 receptors per cell, K(d) 0.24+/-17). A comparison of these data with previously published findings for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression by these cell lines revealed that IGFR and EGFR expression are inversely related in the variant lines whereas ZR-75-1 cells express similar numbers of both receptors. Since the changes in IGFR expression observed are associated with changes in steroid hormone receptor status, we also investigated the effects of oestradiol, the synthetic progestin ORG 2058 and dexamethasone on IGFR expression. Oestradiol increased IGFR expression only in the ZR-75-1 cell line. Low concentrations of ORG 2058 increased IGFR levels in the two cell lines positive for progesterone receptor (ZR-75-1 and ZR-PR-LT). High concentrations of ORG 2058 increased IGFR expression in all cell lines, as did dexamethasone. These data suggest that EGFR and IGFR expression may be linked in breast cancer, and that EGFR/IGFR ratios in breast cancer may be a more sensitive prognostic indicator than EGFR expression alone. Regardless of basal IGFR expression by the cell studied, ORG 2058 increased IGFR expression, possibly via both the progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
