“…In recent years, much evidence has shown that in multiple cell types under different experimental conditions, steroid receptors directly interact with several signaling effectors and trigger various biological effects. In addition to Src, these effectors include calmodulin (Castoria et al, 1988), the regulatory subunit of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase, p85a (Simoncini et al, 2000;Castoria et al, 2001), Shc (Song et al, 2002), modulator of non genomic activity of receptor (Wong et al, 2002), protein kinase Cz (Castoria et al, 2004), EGF receptor (Marquez et al, 2001;Migliaccio et al, 2005), and many other signaling or signaling-related proteins. Therefore, approaches similar to those followed in this report, that is, recognition of new receptor/signaling effector interactions and identification of new inhibitors of such interactions, could enable us to specifically inhibit different hormone actions mediated by signal transducing pathways in multiple cell types and in different pathological conditions.…”
