Ator of nuclear receptors, we explored its prognostic value in relation to estrogen-receptor-a (ESR1) and -b (ESR2) and evaluated its predictive value for response to tamoxifen treatment. Methods: DC-SCRIPT mRNA levels were measured by real-time PCR in 1,505 primary invasive breast cancers and associated with outcome (disease-free survival (DFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival

Apart from breast epithelial tumor cells, ESR2 is also expressed in adjacent infiltrating lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, all of which are known to influence tumor growth [3]. However, its precise role in bre

DC-SCRIPT is in this respect a unique co-regulator as we have shown that it enhances the activities of the nuclear retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor (PPAR) heterodimers, RARa/RXRa?2010 Sieuwerts et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
