摘要: Summary Transactivation of the activation function-1 (AF-1) region estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α) gene is regulated by pathway “cross-talk” from Ras mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK). An analysis this system important for solving problem resistance to anti-estrogen agents used in treatment human breast cancer. We investigated ER-α and mutations MAPK-related status 103 cases carcinoma. None showed AF-1 gene. Despite extremely low frequency K - H-Ras codon 12 (2/103 0/103), p21 overexpression was identified 29.1% (30/103), suggesting that almost all we studied not caused point but enhanced expression. Our immunohistochemical with MAPK proteins (Ras p21, ERK-1, JNK-1, p38) had a progressive tendency towards invasive growth, advanced-stage cancer, decreased levels protein. These results suggest activity could be one characteristics advanced cancer it involved transformation into estrogenindependent growth.
