Abstract P4-02-16: High miRNA26A1 and Low EZH2 Expression Levels Are Associated with Favorable Outcome to Tamoxifen in Advanced Breast Cancer through Similar Molecular Pathways
Abstract:Background: We showed that decreased expression levels of EZH2 are associated with a favorable outcome to tamoxifen in advanced breast cancer. Furthermore, EZH2 knockdown in MCF7 cells resulted in estrogen receptor (ER) upregulation and increased sensitivity to anti-estrogens. Recently, EZH2 has been identified as a target of miRNA26A1 and miRNA101.
Objective: To associate miRNA26A1 and miRNA101 expression levels with: A) EZH2 and B) molecular pathways and C) outcome to first-line tamoxifen mono… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
