CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Prostate specific antigen has recently been shown to be an independent favourable prognostic marker for breast cancer. 12439720 2002
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Like the genes that encode PSA and other kallikreins, the KLK5 gene was found to be regulated by steroid hormones in the BT-474 breast cancer cell line. 12142380 2002
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The substantial decrease in breast cancer mortality in women below regular screening age and the reductions in mortality from both cancers in Denmark from the mid-1990s are consistent with beneficial contributions from improved treatment besides mammography screening and increased PSA testing. 28795403 2017
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We screened 13 well-characterized breast cancer cell lines for hK2 and PSA production upon <i>in vitro</i> hormone stimulation by testosterone [dihydrotestosterone (DHT)]. 30254080 2019
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The breast carcinoma cell line T-47D produces PSA when stimulated by androgens, progestins and glucocorticoids/mineralocorticoids but not oestrogens. 9052414 1997
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Differential steroid hormone regulation of human glandular kallikrein (hK2) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in breast cancer cell lines. 10832596 2000
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE However, highest levels were seen in prostatic tissue extracts and seminal plasma. hK11 in seminal plasma and prostatic extracts is present at approximately 300-fold lower levels than prostate-specific antigen and at approximately the same levels as hK2. hK11 expression in breast cancer cell lines is up-regulated by estradiol. 11782391 2002
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The (TA)(9) allele has been reported to be associated with higher serum prostate-specific antigen levels in breast tumors and lower risk of relapse in breast cancer patients and more recently has also been reported to be linked to the codon 89 valine variant, which is itself associated with higher serum prostate-specific antigen levels in breast tumors and a more favorable breast cancer prognosis. 11751447 2001
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism underlying the expression of the PSA gene in breast cancer and breast cancer cell lines. 10188912 1999
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Breast cancer cell lines were treated with various steroid hormones and kallikrein (KLK/hK) expression of hK3 (prostate-specific antigen, PSA), hK5, hK6, hK7, hK8, hK10, hK11, hK13, and hK14 was analyzed at the RNA level via RT-PCR and at the protein level by immunofluorometric ELISA assays. 16897430 2007
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between telomerase activity and PSA gene expression with steroid hormone receptors in breast cancer patients. 22329196 2011
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We conclude that PSA mRNA and protein frequently can be detected in lung tumors and normal tissues from men and women but at levels much lower than those seen in breast carcinomas in women. 9260759 1997
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE The importance of this observation in relation to PSA gene regulation and breast cancer pathobiology remain to be determined. 9470845 1997
CUI: C0678222
Disease: Breast Carcinoma
Breast Carcinoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Every breast cancer cell line exhibited a distinct expression pattern of the nuclear receptor co-regulators examined raising the possibility that the relative levels of these co-activators/-repressors might differentially modulate androgen receptor transcriptional activity within the promoter/enhancer region of KLK2 and KLK3 of these cells. 12124798 2002
CUI: C0678222
