Abstract

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural or synthetic exogenous substances affecting human health. Although present at low concentrations in the environment, they can cause a broad range of negative effects on the endocrine functions by mimicking the action of steroid hormones due to their structural similarity. Hormonal unbalance can play an important role in carcinogenesis at any stage of disease. In the case of the breast cancer, EDCs directly affect the transformation of normal breast cells into cancer cells by interfering with hormonal regulation and by inducing the alteration of factors that regulate gene expression. The principal aims of this work were to study the interaction networks of proteins modulated in breast cancer by either environmental EDCs or mycotoxins, and to identify the proteins with the strongest coordination role defined as hub nodes. Our studies evidenced the presence of seven and six hub proteins in two EDCs and mycotoxins networks, respectively. Then, by merging the two networks, we identified that three hub nodes (BCL2, ESR2 and CTNNB1) in the environmental EDCs network show direct interactions with three hub nodes (CASP8, RELA and MKI67) in the mycotoxins network. These data highlighted t...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
