The objective of this study was to investigate whether polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contribute to the etiology of sporadic breast cancer by altering the expression of BRCA-1. Acute exposure to the PAH benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) inhibited in a time-and dose-dependent fashion cell proliferation

Objective. The cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolite, 15-deoxy-⌬ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), has been reported to inhibit the expression of a number of genes involved in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, its effects on COX-2 remain controversial. We undertook this study to investigate the
The expression of several cancer-related genes has been reported to be silenced by DNA methylation of their promoter region. 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR), a potent and specific inhibitor of DNA methylation, can reactivate the in vitro expression of these genes. In future clinical trials in tumo
