Abstract excerpt
To know whether the molecular responses to chemical carcinogens reflect only cell line specific molecular responses, or whether they can be regarded as characteristic of breast tissue, we have characterized four human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, T47-D, ZR-75-1). The activation of benzo(a)pyrene (BP), a model compound of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, to its genotoxic BP-diolepoxide (BPDE)...
