title: About GATA3, HNF3A, and XBP1, three genes co-expressed with the oestrogen receptor-alpha gene (ESR1) in breast cancer.
abstract: In breast tumours and breast cancer cell (BCC) lines, microarray analyses have revealed that a series of genes are expressed in close association with the oestrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) gene, ESR1. Three of them, GATA3, HNF3A (also known as FOXA1), and XBP1 encode transcription factors. Here, we present these factors and we discuss their potential involvement in the ER-alpha-mediated actions in BCC. We notably show the relations that exist, or that might exist, between these factors and the oestrogen-inducible trefoil factor TFF1.
