In the present investigation, we have exploited the opportunity provided by neoadjuvant treatment of a group of postmenopausal women with large operable or locally advanced breast cancer (in which therapy is given with the primary tumour remaining within the breast) to take sequential biopsies of th...

Since differential miRNA expression patterns associated with acquired AI resistance have been poorly investigated, the aim of this study was to delineate the deregulation of miRNA expression associated with letrozole response failure in a new model of letrozole resistance. For this purpose, we gener...
Anti-estrogens and aromatase inhibitors are important drugs in the treatment of estrogen-dependent breast cancer. In order to investigate the effects of these drugs on gene expression in breast cancer cells, we treated estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 cells, stably transfected with the aromatase ge...
Invasive lobular cancer (ILC) accounts for approximately 10-15% of breast carcinomas and although it responds poorly to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, it appears to respond well to endocrine therapy. Pre- and on-treatment (after 2 weeks and 3 months) biopsies and surgical samples were obtained from 14 ...
Biopsies were collected from post-menopausal women with ER+ HER2- breast cancer who were subsequently treated with either letrozole or letrozole plus bevacizumab.
These are tumor biopsies and corresponding normal samples from patients with early stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer who had received the aromatase inhibitor letrozole for 10-21 days prior to surgery.
Male and female golden hamsters (n = 5 per group) were either control (PBS) treated or infected with SARS-CoV-2 (105 pfu), following treatment with vehicle or the CYP19A1 (aromatase) inhibitor letrozole for 8 consecutive days. At 21 days post infection, animals were sacrificed; subsequently, the lun...
