Article Title: Induction by estrogen metabolite 16α-hydroxyestrone of genotoxic damage and aberrant proliferation in mouse mammary epithelial cells
Abstract: Background: Estrogens are potent mammary tumor promoters influencing post-initiational events via epigenetic mechanisms. The upregulation (i.e., induction) of the C16α-hydroxylation pathway during 17β-estradiol (E2) biotransformation has been associated with mammary cell transformation. The action of E2 metabolites on tumorigenic transformation, however, is poorly understood. Purpose: The newly established mammary epithelial cell line C57/MG, derived from the C57BL mouse strain, was used to examine whether E2 or its metabolites, 16-hydroxyestrone (16α-OHE1) and estriol (E3), function as initiators of mammary cell transformation. Methods: DNA repair (hydroxyurea-insensitive thymidine uptake), estrogen metabolism (3H exchange to form 3H20), hyperproliferation (increased cell number), and acquisition of anchorage-independent © 1992 Oxford University Press.
