Zusammenfassung
Serum levels of adiponectin are inversely associated with breast cancer risk. Adiponectin is reported to exert direct antitumoral effects by inhibition of cell proliferation and increase of apoptosis of breast cancer cells. We examined molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumoral action of adiponectin. For this purpose, we studied the effect of adiponectin on gene expression in a breast cancer cell line and a non-tumorigenic human mammary epithelial cell line. MCF–7 breast cancer cells and MCF–10A immortalized mammary epithelial cells were treated with adiponectin (10µg/ml) for 48h. Adiponectin effect on gene…
