In a previous study we compared the influence of several growth factors on breast cancer cells in culture and observed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) enhanced the invasiveness of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells. The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of three unique antiestrogens on EGF-mediated movement of human breast cancer cells. The rate of movement of MCF-7 breast cancer cells was measured using time-lapse videomicroscopy (TLVM). The MCF-7 cells were pretreated with antiestrogen (either tamoxifen, ICI-182-780 (ICI) or 1,1-dichloro-cis-2,3-diarylcyclopropane (AII)) at 10–6mol/l for 4 days, and then treated with EGF (10–10mol/l) immediately prior to TLVM. EGF enhanced the motility of the MCF-7 cells at 30–90 min post-administration. However, EGF-mediated motility of the MCF-7 cells was inhibited by antiestrogen pretreatment, with TAM and ICI producing complete inhibition of EGF-induced motility. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that EGF enhances the rate of movement of MCF-7 breast cancer cells and that antiestrogen pretreatment inhibits EGF-mediated motility.
