Ethanol Modulates the Growth of Human Breast Cancer Cells In Vitro
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
The role of ethanol or its metabolites on breast neoplasm has not been characterized. We hypothesized that ethanol may alter the growth rate of human breast tumor epithelial cells by modulating putative growth-promoting signaling pathways such as p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The MCF-7 cell line, considered a suitable model, was used in these studies to investigate the effects of ethanol on...
