Is estradiol a genotoxic mutagenic carcinogen?
The natural hormone 17 beta-estradiol (E2) induces tumors in various organs of rats, mice, and hamsters. In humans, slightly elevated circulating estrogen levels caused either by increased endogenous hormone production or by therapeutic doses of estrogen medications increase breast or uterine cancer risk. Several epigenetic mechanisms of tumor induction by this hormone have been proposed based ...
متن کاملIs phenylbutazone a genotoxic carcinogen? A weight-of-evidence assessment.
Published in silico, in vitro, in vivo laboratory animal and human data, together with information on biotransformation and data from structure-activity analyses with two decision-tree systems (ACToR and Toxtree), have been used in a weight-of-evidence (WoE) assessment to determine whether phenylbutazone (PBZ) is a genotoxic or a non-genotoxic carcinogen. This was undertaken to facilitate the r...
متن کاملEffect of long-term tamoxifen exposure on genotoxic and epigenetic changes in rat liver: implications for tamoxifen-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.
Tamoxifen is a non-steroidal anti-estrogen used for the treatment of breast cancer and, more recently, as a chemopreventive agent in healthy women at high risk of developing breast cancer. On the other hand, tamoxifen is a potent hepatocarcinogen in rats, with both tumor-initiating and tumor-promoting properties. There is substantial evidence that hepatic tumors in rats are initiated as a resul...
متن کاملAIB1 is a predictive factor for tamoxifen response in premenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Clinical trials implicate the estrogen receptor (ER) coactivator amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) to be a prognostic and a treatment-predictive factor, although results are not unanimous. We have further investigated this using a controlled randomised trial of tamoxifen versus control. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 564 premenopausal women were entered into a randomised study ...
متن کاملGenotoxic activity and inhibition of soil respiration by ptaquiloside, a bracken fern carcinogen.
Ptaquiloside (PTA) is a natural toxin produced by bracken (Pteridium aquilinum [L.] Kuhn). Assessment of PTA toxicity is needed because PTA deposited from bracken to soil may leach to surface and groundwater. Inhibition of soil respiration and genotoxic activity of PTA was determined by a soil microbial carbon transformation test and an umu test, respectively. In the carbon transformation test,...
