Hormone-Induced Chromosomal Instability in p53-Null Mammary Epithelium
15 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
The absence of p53 function increases risk for spontaneous tumorigenesis in the mammary gland. Hormonal stimulation enhances tumor risk in p53-null mammary epithelial cells as well as the incidence of aneuploidy. Aneuploidy appears in normal p53-null mammary epithelial cells within 5 weeks of hormone stimulation. Experiments reported herein assessed a possible mechanism of hormone-induced aneuploidy. Hormones...
