Estrogens play an important role in the growth and terminal differentiation of the mammary gland. Prolonged exposure to estrogens seems to predispose women to breast cancer. It recently became evident that not only the intrinsic hormonal status but also external factors such as the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and chemicals with hormone activity in the environment may put women at greater risk of developing breast cancer. We focused on the interference of endocrine disruptors in breast cancer therapy. We observed that phenol red added to the culture medium strongly promoted the cell proliferation and cell cycle progression of human cells expressing the estrogen receptor, and affected their susceptibility to chemotherapy.
雌激素在乳腺的生长和终末分化中起重要作用。长期暴露于雌激素似乎会使女性易患乳腺癌。最近变得明显的是,不仅内在激素状态,而且环境中具有激素活性的药物和化学物质的出现等外部因素也可能使女性患乳腺癌的风险更高。我们专注于内分泌干扰物在乳腺癌治疗中的干扰作用。我们观察到,添加到培养基中的酚红强烈促进了表达雌激素受体的人类细胞的细胞增殖和细胞周期进程,并影响了它们对化疗的敏感性。
