1 Effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and 17 beta-estradiol on estrogen receptor regulation in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
2 Comparative studies were conducted with E2 and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), as both compounds are known to suppress ER expression. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
3 Comparative studies were conducted with E2 and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), as both compounds are known to suppress ER expression. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
4 Our results indicate that 1 nM E2 and 100 nM TPA both suppress ER mRNA levels as early as 4 h after exposure and to 33.6% and 16.5% of control levels, respectively, after 72 h. In contrast, no significant effect on ER mRNA levels was attributed to exposure to 10 nM TCDD. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
5 Our results indicate that 1 nM E2 and 100 nM TPA both suppress ER mRNA levels as early as 4 h after exposure and to 33.6% and 16.5% of control levels, respectively, after 72 h. In contrast, no significant effect on ER mRNA levels was attributed to exposure to 10 nM TCDD. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
6 A greater than 50% reduction in positive staining was observed by ER-ICA after 72 h exposure to 1 nM E2 and to 100 nM TPA, while only an 11% reduction in positive staining was observed with 10 nM TCDD. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate estrogen receptor 1 Homo sapiens
7 In conclusion, while TPA and E2 effectively down-regulate ER expression, TCDD, under antiestrogenic conditions, has little if any effect on total ER levels in MCF-7 cells, and thus ER modulation is probably not necessary for the suppression of estrogenic activity in MCF-7 cells by TCDD.
