Obesity and p16 Downregulation Activate Breast Adipocytes and Promote Their Protumorigenicity.

Obesity is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for breast cancer development. However, the molecular basis of obesity-related breast carcinogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we have shown that obesity reduces the level of the tumor suppressor p16 protein in breast adipocytes, which showed active features and strong procarcinogenic potential both and in orthotopic tumor xenografts compared to mature adipocytes from lean women.
