Protein Expression in Breast Tissue Challenged With Environmental Estrogens
Abstract
Estrogen (E2) has many beneficial effects but paradoxically estrogen
exposure increases cancer risk in the breast and in the uterus. Bisphenol
A (BPA) and methylparaben (MP) are environmental estrogens that are
known to influence the expression of estrogen sensitive genes. To
further elucidate the mechanism of action of environmental estrogens in
breast cancer cells, we treated T47D and MCF-7 cells with MP and
BPA, respectively, and measured the expression of proteins in the E2
signaling pathway utilizing Coomassie blue staining and Western Blotting.
