  1. Discussion • 4-NP interferes with genes involved in estrogen signaling and cell proliferation • ~9% of portfolio genes altered significantly by 4-NP and estrogen • Supports Teresaka (04) –estrogenicity of industrial compounds • Half-life of estrogen is 13 hours • Half-life of 4-NP is 8.2 DAYS (Staples ‘01) Ongoing Research • MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells • BRCA1/BRCA2 • 4-NP up regulates the BRCA genes** • ** BRCA genes repair DNA + control cell proliferation The first gel electrophoresis relating to the BRCA genes. Results represented by the graph on the left. BRCA1 is up regulated by 4-NP at every single concentration. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that the “safe” value of 4-NP in the environment is around 7nM. However, our results show that even 3nM 4-NP induces immediate effects of MCF7 cells. Increase BRCA genes Suspect tumorigenesis Future Work • Effects of other environmental endocrine disruptors • Short term v. Long term effects of 4-NP Conclusion • 4-NP mimics estrogen • 4-NP and estrogen induce similar changes in expression of estrogen-signaling genes • 4-NP increases breast cancer risk Selected Bibliography • -Adami, H., Lipworth, L., Titus-Ernstoff, L., Hsieh, C., Hanberg, A., Ahlborg, U., Baron, J., and Trichopoulos, D.
