EIF4E and breast carcinoma: Firstly, eIF4E overexpression may directly promote protein synthesis of two other important estradiol targets, MYC and cyclin D1 that have eIF4E-sensitive mRNA, which are known to play major roles in driving ER+ breast cancer growth, though our data suggests they more important in driving cell proliferation rather than modulating tamoxifen response (Figs. S8 and S9).
