The ability of the mammary procarcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) to induce the expression of selected molecular and cellular biomarkers for preneoplastic transformation is examined in a newly developed, immortalized but nontumorigenic mammary epithelial cell line C57/MG. This cell line is established

Breast cancer is the leading cause of new cancer diagnoses among women. Using peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ((+/-)) mice, we showed normal expression of PPARγ was critical to stop 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast tumorigenesis. PPARγ is expressed in many breast cell types
