Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental estrogen that exhibits non-genotoxic carcinogenicity, causing concern globally. The aim was to investigate the effects of BPA on the proliferation and cell cycle of human normal breast cells HBL-100. An improved E-Screen assay was used to study cell proliferation, and flow cytometry was used to study cell cycle phases. Western blot analysis was utilized to detect cell cycle proteins and estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) expression. The results showed that the highest cell proliferation rate induced by BPA was at 1.0 x 10(-6) mol/L At 1.0 x 10(-10), 1.0 x 10(-8), and 1.0 x 10(-6) mol/L, BPA promoted more cells to enter into G2/M phase and caused an increase in the expression of cyclinD1 and CDK4. After adding ICI182780 into the system, the promoting effects of BPA on cell proliferation and cell cycle change decreased, but these promoting effects were still significantly greater compared with the solvent control (P < 0.05). Regardless of ICI182780 exposure, BPA did not have significant effect on ER alpha expression. BPA has estrogen-like activity and can stimulate HBL-100 proliferation and cell division through the estrogen receptor pathway. BPA may have other pathways through which it can exert stimulating effects and exhibit non-genotoxic carcinogenicity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
