摘要
The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of breast cancer in general, and estrogen-associated breast carcinogenesis in particular, are not completely understood. There are three mechanisms considered responsible for the carcinogenicity of estrogens in the human breast: (i) receptor-mediated hormonal activity, which stimulates cellular proliferation, resulting in more opportunities for accumulation of the genetic damage that leads to carcinogenesis; (ii) a cytochrome P450-mediated metabolic activation, which elicits direct genotoxic effects by increasing mutation rates; and (iii) the induction of aneuploidy by estrogen. In this article, we concentrate on discussing the role of estrogen receptors and the metabolic activation of 17beta-estradiol (E-2) as mechanisms of breast cancer initiation.
