TAM treatment inhibits significantly MCF7 cell proliferation. Low doses of TAM are able to induce structural chromosomal aberrations (deletions, isochromosomes, translocations, and dicentric chromosomes) in both ER+ and ER- breast cancer cells. This genotoxic effect is higher in those cell lines with HER2 gene amplification[2]. Whereas TAM at lower concentrations (0.1-1 μM) induces a cell-cycle arrest, pharmacological concentrations (above 5 μM) of TAM have been found to induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells. 5 μM TAM rapidly induced sustained activation of ERK1/2 in ER-positive breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and T47D)[3] |

| In vivo | Tamoxifen (TAM) is widely used for both treatment and prevention of breast cancer. However, it is also carcinogenic in human uterus and rat liver[2]. Tm-inducible Cre-loxP systems are being used in broad areas of research and are providing important biologic insights in tissue development, maintenance, and function. Tamoxifen-induced nuclear localization of Cre recombinase is time- and dose-dependent. Higher doses of tamoxifen induce recombination weeks following administration and Lower doses of tamoxifen induce recombination up to one week following administration. Duration of tamoxifen-induced gene recombination is also dose-dependent. Administration of high Tm doses leads to extended CreER nuclear localization. Tm treatment induces side effects that may have physiologic consequences in Tm-inducible models[4]. |

Bio Calculators
Molarity Calculator
Calculate the mass, volume or concentration required for a solution. The Selleck molarity calculator is based on the following equation:
Mass (g) = Concentration (mol/L) × Volume (L) × Molecular Weight (g/mol)
*When preparing stock solutions, please always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the via label and MSDS / COA (available on product pages).
Dilution Calculator
Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution. The Selleck dilution calculator is based on the following equation:
Concentration (start) x Volume (start) = Concentration (final) x Volume (final)
This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2 ( Input Output )
* When preparing stock solutions always use the batch-specific molecular weight of the product found on the vial label and MSDS / COA (available online).

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
Could you tell me if you have a protocol for the use of tamoxifen (S1238) in vivo in mouse? Is there an administration way that is better than another?
-
Answer:
Tamoxifen (S1238) can be dissolved in 10% ethanol/10% Tween 80/ddH2O at 5 mg/ml clearly. But precipitation will form if the formulation was left at RT for an hour or longer. So we'd suggest that you use it quickly after formulation. Tamoxifen is often administrated via i.p injection.
