Selective oestrogen receptor downregulators (SERDs) are a class of highly effective steroidal antitumour agents that reduce cellular levels of the oestrogen receptor (ER). In this study, we compared the efficacy by which three novel molecular approaches: (1) antisense oligonucleotides; (2) antisense RNA; and (3) dominant negative mutants are able to act as SERDs. Using transient and, where appropriate, stable gene transfection experiments we found that constitutive overexpression of ER antisense RNA and a hormone-binding domain compromised dominant-negative ER mutant (DNER-1), were most effective at downregulating ER expression and/or activity in vitro.
