Expression of aspartate‐β‐hydroxylase (ASPH) is upregulated when tamoxifen sensitivity is reduced. (a) Dose–response curves of 4‐hydroxytamoxifen (4‐OHT) in parental (●) and TamR (□) MCF7 cells. The x‐axis is expressed on a logarithmic scale. Mean ± SD of multiple samples (N = 6) is shown. (b) Quantitative RT‐PCR (qRT‐PCR) analysis of ASPH mRNA expression in parental and TamR MCF7 cells grown in maintenance medium. Mean ± SD of triplicate samples is shown. (c) Western blot analysis of ASPH and phosphorylated ERK1/2 and Akt in parental and TamR MCF7 cells grown in maintenance medium. (d) qRT‐PCR analysis of ASPH mRNA expression in MCF7 cells stimulated with maintenance medium for 12 h in the presence or absence of PD98059 or LY294002. Mean ± SD of triplicate samples is shown. **P < 0.01 (Student's t‐test).
