ESTABLISHMENT OF BIOASSAY TO DETECT ESTROGENIC FLAVONOIDS USING STABLE MCF-7-ERE CELL AND MCF-7 CELL PROLIFERASTION ASSAY

  • Published : 2001.10.01

Abstract

Stable MCF-7-ERE cells, in which pERE-Luc reporter gene has been stably integrated into the genome of the MCF-7 cells, were used to detect the estrogenic activity of various dietary flavonoids.in either pure chemical or mixtures. Estradiol (E2) induced luciferase activity in dose dependent manner and this activity was inhibited by tamoxifen (Tam) concomitant treatment.(omitted)
