Figure 1. Upregulation of helicases and nucelases that are highly mutated in breast or ovarian cancers by estrogen.
(A) screen architecture. The screen scored for genes that are upregulated by estrogen, part of the DNA damage response and highly mutated in estrogen-dependent cancers. (B) MCF7 cells were treated with E2 (25nM) or mock treated for 24h. Expression levels of indicated genes were detected by real-time PCR. Gene expression levels were normalized to GAPDH. Black bars represent control genes. Gray bars represent genes of interest.
