1 Dichloroacetate potentiates tamoxifen-induced cell death in breast cancer cells via downregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. Dichloroacetic Acid epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
2 In the present study, we found that DCA sensitized MCF7 breast cancer cells to tamoxifen-induced cell death by decreasing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression. Dichloroacetic Acid epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
3 In the present study, we found that DCA sensitized MCF7 breast cancer cells to tamoxifen-induced cell death by decreasing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression. Dichloroacetic Acid epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase played an important role in DCA/tamoxifen-induced EGFR degradation. Dichloroacetic Acid epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
5 In summary, our results suggest that DCA is an attractive potential drug that sensitizes cells to tamoxifen-induced cell death and overcome tamoxifen resistance via downregulation of EGFR expression in breast cancer cells. Dichloroacetic Acid epidermal growth factor receptor Homo sapiens
