The potential repressive effects of the tested combinatorial exposures of ClF with EGCG or genistein on modulation of DNMT1 transcription and/or activity in breast cancer cells. Implications of RARB and PTEN-mediated negative regulation of intracellular oncogenic signaling pathways, including MAPK/AP-1 and PI3K/AKT. A competition of CDKN1A (p21) with DNMT1 for the same binding site on PCNA. Shc, SH2-containing collagen-related proteins; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; AP-1, activator protein 1; PI3K, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase; PIP2, phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate; PIP3, phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate; SMRT, thyroid-, retinoic-acid-receptor-associated corepressor; SAM, S-adenosyl-l-methionine; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
