1 We have shown that tamoxifen treatment resulted in G(1) arrest in two cell lines, HN5 and HN6. Tamoxifen MT-RNR2 like 6 (pseudogene) Homo sapiens
2 There was a significant sensitizing effect of tamoxifen on cisplatin-induced apoptosis in HN5 and HN6 cells, with the combined treatment being more effective in inducing apoptosis. Tamoxifen MT-RNR2 like 6 (pseudogene) Homo sapiens
3 However, tamoxifen treatment resulted in increased secretion of TGF-beta1 by HN5 and HN6 cells. Tamoxifen MT-RNR2 like 6 (pseudogene) Homo sapiens
4 An anti-TGF-beta blocking antibody prevented both the blockade of cellular proliferation and the increased expression of CDKIs associated with tamoxifen treatment of HN5 and HN6 cells. Tamoxifen MT-RNR2 like 6 (pseudogene) Homo sapiens
