Tamoxifen 77-86 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 39-42 20531297-5 2010 In tamoxifen response experiments, RET downregulation resulted in 6.2-fold increase in sensitivity of MCF7 cells to antiproliferative effects of tamoxifen, whereas GDNF stimulation had a protective effect against the drug. Tamoxifen 3-12 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 35-38 20531297-5 2010 In tamoxifen response experiments, RET downregulation resulted in 6.2-fold increase in sensitivity of MCF7 cells to antiproliferative effects of tamoxifen, whereas GDNF stimulation had a protective effect against the drug. Tamoxifen 145-154 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 35-38 20531297-6 2010 In tamoxifen-resistant (TAM(R)-1) MCF7 cells, targeting RET restored tamoxifen sensitivity. Tamoxifen 3-12 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 56-59 20531297-6 2010 In tamoxifen-resistant (TAM(R)-1) MCF7 cells, targeting RET restored tamoxifen sensitivity. Tamoxifen 69-78 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 56-59 20531297-7 2010 Finally, examination of two independent tissue microarrays of primary human breast cancers revealed that expression of RET protein was significantly associated with ERalpha-positive tumors and that in primary tumors from patients who subsequently developed invasive recurrence after adjuvant tamoxifen treatment, there was a twofold increase in the number of RET-positive tumors. Tamoxifen 292-301 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 119-122 20531297-7 2010 Finally, examination of two independent tissue microarrays of primary human breast cancers revealed that expression of RET protein was significantly associated with ERalpha-positive tumors and that in primary tumors from patients who subsequently developed invasive recurrence after adjuvant tamoxifen treatment, there was a twofold increase in the number of RET-positive tumors. Tamoxifen 292-301 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 359-362 20531297-8 2010 Together these findings identify RET as a potentially important therapeutic target in ERalpha-positive breast cancers and in particular in tamoxifen-resistant tumors. Tamoxifen 139-148 ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens 33-36
