Dose-dependent dual function of ROS, that is, low dose-induced growth and high dose-induced cell apoptosis in acute exposure as observed in this study is consistent with these earlier reports. hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) like a source of ROS at doses of 25 Rabbit polyclonal to ZC3H12D M and 250 M for acute (24 hours) and chronic period (3 months) and their effects on cell growth/survival and tumorigenic potential were evaluated. The results of cell count, MTT and cell cycle analysis showed that while acute exposure inhibits the growth of MCF-7 cells inside a dose-dependent manner, the chronic exposure to H2O2-induced ROS prospects to improved cell growth and survival of MCF-7 cells. This was further confirmed by gene manifestation analysis of cell cycle and cell survival related genes. Significant increase in number…
