## Scope: The aim of this research was to explore whether the tea-polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (egcg) could be used as a potential agent for blocking smoking (nicotine, nic)- or hormone (estradiol, e2)-induced breast cancer cell proliferation through inhibition of a common signaling pa

## Abstract Adipositas correlates with an enhanced risk of developing malignant diseases such as breast cancer, endometrial tumor or prostate carcinoma, but the molecular basis for this is not well understood. Potential mechanisms include increased bioavailability of adipocytokines (__e.g.__ leptin
## Abstract We show that flavonoids positively regulate type‐II estrogen‐binding site (type‐ll EBS) levels both in MCF‐7 (ER‐positive) and in MDA‐MB231 (ER‐negative) breast‐cancer cells. Type‐ll EBS were measured by a whole‐cell assay at 4°C for 2.5 hr using [^3^H]‐estradiol as tracer. In both cell
## Abstract Kruppel‐like factor 5 (KLF5) is implicated in human breast cancer by frequent genomic deletion and expressional deregulation, but the molecular mechanisms by which KLF5 affects breast tumorigenesis are still unknown. This study was conducted to examine whether and how KLF5 affects the f
An association exists in primary human breast tumors between high epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and a reduced number or even absence of estrogen receptors (ER). To determine whether an increase in EGFR expression might alter the estrogen responsiveness of an ERpositive human bre
