Abstract excerpt
The elevated incidence of breast cancer in women has been associated with prolonged exposure to high levels of estrogens. Our laboratory has demonstrated that treatment of the immortalized human breast epithelial cells MCF-10F with 17beta-estradiol (E2) or its metabolites 4-hydroxy-estradiol (4-OH-E2) and 2-hydroxy-estradiol (2-OH-E2) induces phenotypical changes indicative of neoplastic transformation. The...
