| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MCF10A cells stably expressing ERα together with BRCA1-spedific shRNA in a doxycycline-inducible manner were investigated to analyze mechanisms underlying ERα-induced genomic instability in BRCA1 deficient background. ERα expressing BRCA1-depleted cells exhibited flattened morphology, increased multiple nuclei with micronuclei, and tended to display increased mitotic chromosomal bridges, whereas they did not show significant difference in secondary DNA structures such as R-loop and G-quadruplex when compared to control cells.
