Journal ArticleDOI

Common non-hormone binding component in non-transformed chick oviduct receptors of four steroid hormones.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the antigenic determinant recognized by BF4 is present on a non-hormone binding unit, which is identified as a polypeptide of molecular weight (MW) 90,000 in the case of the progesterone receptor, and that this unit is common to other 8S non-transformed chicken steroid receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estrogen induction of the cyclin D1 promoter: involvement of a cAMP response-like element.

TL;DR: A mechanism in which ATF-2/c-Jun heterodimers bind to the CRE-D1 element and mediate the activation of cyclin D1 promoter by the ER is proposed, which represents a pathway by which estrogens control the proliferation of target cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antitumor activity of oxaliplatin in combination with 5-fluorouracil and the thymidylate synthase inhibitor AG337 in human colon, breast and ovarian cancers

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro, synergistic antiproliferative effects were observed when oxaliplatin was added to 5-FU and AG337, and synergistic effects of combinations were maintained in colon HT29-5-FU cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tamoxifen is a potent "pure" anti-oestrogen in chick oviduct.

TL;DR: Results are presented which illustrate that the theory of anti-oestrogenic action does not hold for tamoxifen (ICI 46,474) in the chicken oviduct.
Journal Article

The c-kit Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor STI571 for Colorectal Cancer Therapy

TL;DR: Encouraging results warrant further preclinical investigations and clinical trials on the use of the c-kit inhibitor STI571 as a chemotherapeutic agent in colon cancer prevention and in treatment of advanced colorectal cancers associated with liver metastases.
