ABSTRACT: In the current study, we aimed to simulate the GPR30/PI3K/MAPK/STAT signaling pathway in normal and cancer cells by the use of ordinary differential equation modeling. In addition, we planned to show that MAPK activation pattern is different between normal and cancer models.

Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) is one of the most widely used and effective therapeutic agent for breast cancer. It benefits nearly 75% of patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer that receive this drug. Its effectiveness is mainly attributed to its capacity to function as an ER antagonist, blocking estrogen binding sites on the receptor, and inhibiting the proliferative action of the receptor-hormone complex. Although, tamoxifen can induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells via upregulat ...[more]
