| Abstract | Estrogen and various growth factors affecting tumor behavior are present in the breast cancer microenvironment, but their comprehensive effects and signal crosstalks are different in each case. However, there is no system to evaluate the factors, detected in individual breast cancer cases, that regulate ER activity and tumor progression. In this study, we analyzed the effects of individual breast cancer extracts by our original system using an estrogen-signal reporter cell line, MCF-7-E10, which we previously established. MCF-7-E10 cell line is stably transfected by an estrogen response element (ERE)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene; it expresses GFP when estrogen receptors (ERs) are activated by estrogen or growth factor signal-mediated ER phosphorylation. Using this cell line, we analyzed the comprehensive effects of factors derived from breast cancer tissues on ER activity and growth of MCF-7-E10 cells for each case. We also analyzed relationships between these activities and clinicopathologic characteristics of patients who provided cancer specimens. The breast cancer extracts, which reflect the combined activities of growth factors present in individual cases, stimulated MCF-7-E10 cell growth in an estrogen-independent manner, and specifically stimulated growth of other breast cancer cell lines, regardless of ER expression. High growth-promoting activities were seen in tumor regions of specimens with tumors > 10 mm in size, HER2 intrinsic subtype, and scirrhous and solid-tubular carcinoma histological subtypes. Anti-human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) antibody and an inhibitor for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor inhibited MCF-7-E10 cell growth by the breast cancer extracts, indicating that signal pathways via HGF or IGF-1 receptor significantly affect breast cancer. These data suggest that growth factors other than estrogen in the tumor extract significantly affect breast cancer aggressiveness in an estrogen-independent manner, and could be useful therapeutic targets. |

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.
