Abstract A43: Increased cyclin A expression is associated with antiprogestin resistance and progesterone receptor isoforms ratio in experimental models of breast cancer

Deregulation of cyclin A expression has been associated with prognosis and tamoxifen responsiveness in breast cancer. We have previously reported an overexpression of cyclin A in two antiprogestin-resistant tumors derived from a hormone-dependent mammary carcinoma induced by medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). MPA-induced tumors show high levels of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) and transit through different stages of hormone...
