Abstract:Background: Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) can regulate cellular signaling through non-genomic mechanisms, potentially promoting resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, the mechanisms underlying the ERβ-mediated resistance to EGFR TKIs remain poorly understood. Methods: qRT-PCR was performed to investigate ERβ1 and ERβ5 expression levels in cell lines. The localization of ERβ and ERβ1 within cells was assessed using immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence… Show more
