Characterisation of oestrogenic activity of ginsenosides in MCF-7 cells using a customised DNA microarray
2009-03-01
Abstract excerpt
We studied oestrogenic activity of components of ginseng: ginsenosides F1, Rb1, Rg1 and Rh1. These ginsenosides dose-dependently stimulated the proliferation and oestrogen-responsive luciferase activity of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, with a maximal level at 100μM. Both proliferation and luciferase activities induced by ginsenosides were blocked by ICI 182,780, an oestrogen receptor antagonist. We further exam...
