TWIST Represses Estrogen Receptor-alpha Expression by Recruiting the NuRD Protein Complex in Breast Cancer Cells Loss of estrogen receptor α (ERα) expression and gain of TWIST (TWIST1) expression in breast tumors correlate with increased disease recurrence and metas... J Fu,L Zhang,H Tao,.....
microRNAs (miRNA) have emerged as a major player in gene regulation, thus identification of miRNAs associated with normal or disrupted estrogen signaling is critical to enhancing our understanding of the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer. We have previously shown that 17β-estradiol (E2) ...
Breast cancer: Breast cancer is a variant of cancer that is very sensitive to high levels of estrogen. Those who had ovarian cancer before are at an increased risk of having the cancer. Answer and Explanation:1 Breast cancer is capable of metastasizing to the lungs. In fact, it has a hig...
A group of estrogen-blocking breast cancer drugs called aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole, exemestane, letrozole) may make your bones more brittle. That may cause bone and joint pain. Certain types of chemotherapy can also cause bone thinning. If you aren’t already inmenopause, it may start pre...
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the effects of continuously raised estrogen levels in the female body due to taking birth control pills may include anincreased risk of breast cancer, blood clotting, migraines, liver problems, increased blood pressure, weight gain, and spotting...
Rapid Weight Loss and Estrogen Levels Being overweight or obese can increase your risk of developing certain types of breast cancer. Extra body fat may increase levels of estrogen and other hormones, which can increase breast cancer risks. Losing weight can lower hormone levels, and also the risk...
Researchers believe that there are many ways to induce or increase the risk of cancer. Increased body fat content is directly related to increased levels of inflammation, increased estrogen release, and decreased insulin sensitivity. In obese people, the levels of insulin, insulin-like growth factor...
