Raloxifene Inhibits Estrogen-induced Up-regulation of Telomerase Activity in a Human Breast Cancer Cell Line
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which raloxifene acts in the chemoprevention of breast cancer remains unclear. Because telomerase activity is involved in estrogen-induced carcinogenesis, we examined the effect of raloxifene on estrogen-induced up-regulation of telomerase activity in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Raloxifene inhibited the induction of cell growth and telomerase activity by 17beta-estradiol (E2). Raloxifene...
