We established a simplified method for the quantitative measurement of pS2 mRNA using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Expression of the pS2 gene, which is transcriptionally induced by estrogen in breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells, can be repressed by retinoic acid (RA) in unstimulated cells. The suppressive effect of RA on pS2 mRNA was inhibited by cycloheximide.
