Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), a cytoplasmic protein transmitting signals from the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptors, has been implicated in breast cancer. Previously, it was reported that IRS-1 can be translocated to the nucleus and modulate oestrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) activity in vitro. However, the expression of nuclear IRS-1 in breast cancer biopsy specimens has never been examined.
