## 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

Quercetin and tamoxifen, in a range of concentrations between 0.01 and 5 M, exert a dose-dependent inhibition on the anchorage-dependent and anchorage-independent cell growth of Hep2 and CO-K3 laryngeal cancer cell lines. Cell cycle analysis revealed that the growth-inhibitory effect was associated
Type4 estrogen-binding sites (type-ll EBS) have been demonstrated in the human lymphoblastoid cell line IM-9 using a whole-cell assay with (6,7-'H) estradiol ('H-E,) as tracer. Competition analysis showed that the anti-estrogen tamoxifen and the flavonoids quercetin and rutin competed for (lH)-E, bi
We examined the levels of activity of methyl-p-hydroxyphenyllactate esterase (MeHPLA-ase) and cytosolic Type-ll-estrogenbinding sites (Type-ll EBS) in 61 and 71 cases, respectively, of primary ovarian cancer. MeHPlA-ase activity and Type-ll EBS were seen to by asymmetrically distributed, in that lev
We analyzed by restriction mapping the genomic organization of the estrogen receptor gene in several primary human brain tumors in order to investigate the possible relationships between the development of these tumors and gonadal steroid hormones. In 5 out of 23 meningiomas the Eco RI restriction o
