Hypoxia up-regulated 1, BTG family member 2 and endothelin 1 may be associated with the progression of breast cancer through interaction with CtBP in different biological processes.
As previous studies have shown that the G protein estrogen receptor (GPER) may regulate ET-1 dependent effects on the vascular system, we evaluated whether GPER could contribute to the effects elicited by ET-1 in breast cancer and hepatocarcinoma cells.
The present study was undertaken to clarify the function(s) of Endothelin-1 and its receptors ETAR and ETBR in osteolytic-bone metastasis from breast cancer, and their regulation by hepatocyte and transforming growth factors (HGF, TGF-β) and hypoxia.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin A receptor (ETAR) contribute to the development and progression of breast carcinomas by modulating cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and anti-apoptosis.
