Transcriptional Activation of c-fos Protooncogene by 17β-Estradiol: Mechanism of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor-Mediated Inhibition
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
17Beta-estradiol (E2) induced c-fos protooncogene mRNA levels in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, and maximal induction was observed within 1 h after treatment. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) inhibited the E2-induced response within 2 h. The molecular mechanism of this response was further investigated using pFC2-CAT, a construct containing a -1400 to +41 sequence from the human c-fos protooncogene...
