Phytoestrogens regulate genes in breast cancers that lack estrogen receptors
Published in Cancer Weekly, August 31st, 2004
According to recent research published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, "a growing body of evidence concerning estrogen effects cannot be explained by the classic model of hormone action, which involves the binding to estrogen receptors (ERs) alpha and ERbeta and the interaction of the steroid-receptor complex with specific DNA sequences associated with target genes."
"Using c-fos proto-oncogene expression as an early molecular sensor of estrogen action in ERalpha-positive MCF7 and ER-negative SKBR3 breast cancer cells, we have discovered that 17beta-estradiol...
