SRC and breast carcinoma: Significantly, our recent studies in an additional ER-positive, E-cadherin-positive breast cancer cell model (T47D cells) also demonstrate that similar pro-invasive effects can be elicited by tamoxifen following suppression of E-cadherin; importantly, this is also accompanied by an increase in Src activity [see Additional data file 1] thus suggesting that these events are not specific to MCF-7 cells, but may represent a generic effect in such breast cancer subtypes.
