Journal ArticleDOI

Estrogen synthesis, estrogen metabolism, and functional estrogen receptors in rat arterial smooth muscle cells in culture

TL;DR: The aromatase and dehydrogenase activity results, coupled with the estrogen receptor immunological, RNA analysis, and transfection data strongly support the contention that rat aortic smooth muscle cells are estrogen target cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zoledronic acid treatment impairs protein geranyl-geranylation for biological effects in prostatic cells

TL;DR: Zoledronic acid is currently the most efficient bisphosphonate in metastatic prostate cancer management, its mechanism of action in prostatic cells remains unclear but it is suggested that its main biological actitivity is directed against protein Geranylgeranylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Characterization of the Microsomal Tamoxifen Binding Site

TL;DR: The modulation of the biosynthesis of cholesterol in tumor cell lines by AEBS ligands is investigated, providing strong evidence that the AEBS is a hetero-oligomeric complex including 3β-hydroxysterol-Δ8-ΓΔ7-isomerase and the 3 β-Hydroxysterl-΢7-reductase as subunits that are necessary and sufficient for tamoxifen binding in mammary cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

RhoB prenylation is driven by the three carboxyl-terminal amino acids of the protein: Evidenced in vivo by an anti-farnesyl cysteine antibody

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the three last carboxyl amino acids are the main determinants for RhoB prenylation and described an anti-farnesyl cysteine antibody as a useful tool for understanding the cellular control of protein farnesylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tamoxifen Is a Potent Inhibitor of Cholesterol Esterification and Prevents the Formation of Foam Cells

TL;DR: This work constitutes the first evidence that tamoxifen is an inhibitor of ACAT and foam cell formation at therapeutic doses and that this may account for its atheroprotective action.
