The estrogen receptor α:insulin receptor substrate 1 complex in breast cancer: structure–function relationships
2007
Background: Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) is a signaling molecule that exerts a key role in mediating cross talk between estrogen receptor a (ERa) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in breast cancer cells. Previously, we demonstrated that a fraction of IRS-1 binds ERa, translocates to the nucleus, and modulates ERa-dependent transcription at estrogen response elements (ERE). Here, we studied structure-function relationships of the ER-a:IRS-1 complex under IGF-1 and/or estradiol (E 2 ) stimulation. Materials and methods: ERa and IRS-1 deletion mutants were used to analyze structural and functional ERα/IRS-1 interactions. IRS-1 binding to ERE and IRS-1 role in ERa-dependent ERE t…
Delisting HCV-infected liver transplant candidates who improved after viral eradication: Outcome 2 years after delisting
2018
International audience; BACKGROUNDS & AIMS: Treating patients with decompensated cirrhosis with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy while on the waiting list for liver transplantation results in substantial improvement of liver function allowing 1 in 4 patients to be removed from the waiting list or delisted, as reported in a previous study promoted by the European Liver and Intestine Transplant Association (ELITA). The aim of this study was to report on clinical outcomes of delisted patients, including mortality risk, hepatocellular carcinoma development and clinical decompensation requiring relisting. METHODS: One hundred and forty-two HCV-positive patients on the liver transplant waiti…
