Deregulation of cell proliferation by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells reflects both genotoxic and nongenotoxic events

Abstract

Selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benz[a]anthracene (BaA), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and fluoranthene, stimulated proliferation of human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells in ER-dependent manner
