Role of the Androgen Receptor in Breast Cancer and Preclinical Analysis of Enzalutamide

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The androgen receptor (AR) is widely expressed in breast cancers and has been proposed as a therapeutic target in estrogen receptor alpha (ER) negative breast cancers that retain AR. However, controversy exists regarding the role of AR, particularly in ER + tumors. Enzalutamide, an AR inhibitor that impairs nuclear localization of AR, was […]

Molecular characterization of a novel Na+/H+ antiporter cDNA from Eucalyptus globulus

ABSTRACT: Environmental stress factors such as salt, drought and heat are known to affect plant productivity. However, high salinity is spreading throughout the world, currently affecting more than 45 million ha. One of the mechanisms that allow plants to withstand salt stress consists on vacuolar sequestration of Na+, through a Na+/H+ antiporter. We isolated a […]

Drought and salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis by overexpression of the vacuolar pyrophosphatase 1 (EVP1) gene from Eucalyptus globulus

ABSTRACT: Vacuolar solute accumulation has been shown to be a mechanism by which plants are capable of increasing drought and salt tolerance. The exposure of plants to NaCl induces Hþ transport into the vacuole by specialized pumps. One of them corresponds to the vacuolar Hþ-pyrophosphatase, which generates a Hþ gradient across the vacuolar membrane. In […]
