Triiodothyronine (T3) increases the expression of the amphiregulin (AREG) oncogene by activating extranuclear pathways in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by Maria Teresa De Sibio, Fernanda Cristina Fontes Moretto, Regiane Marques Castro Olimpio, Miriane de Oliveira, Lucas Solla Mathias, Vinícius Vigliazzi Peghinelli, Helena Paim Tilli, Bianca Mariani Gonçalves, Dariane Beatriz Marino Cardoso, Larissa Silva Dall Aqua, Igor de Carvalho Depra, Mariana Menezes Lourenço, Aline Carbonera Luvizon, Paula de Oliveira Montandon Hokama, Maria Tereza Nunes, Marna Eliana Sakalem, Célia Regina Nogueira

“…Results: We observed that T3 increased AREG expression, an effect that was suppressed by all inhibitors. This finding indicates that the activation of the αvβ3 integrin signaling pathway, via PI3K, MAPK/ERK, is necessary for the T3-mediated effects on AREG expression and highlights the involvement of nongenomic mechanisms. …”
