Pitaya Extracts Induce Growth Inhibition and Proapoptotic Effects on Human Cell Lines of Breast Cancer via Downregulation of Estrogen Receptor Gene Expression

Figure 6

Profile of gene expression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-435 cells. Quantitative analysis of real-time PCR in different genes associated with cancer progression, after 48 h incubation with PE. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation of 3 independent experiments, each performed at least in triplicate. Differences significant between treated cells with PE (500 and 1000 μg/mL) were compared using the Tukey test ().
