Background: Chronic inflammation is considered to be a risk factor for carcinogenesis, tumor development and metastasis by providing tumor-related factors.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) as a key mediator of inflammation on multidrug resistance associated protein 2 (MRP2) expression and tamoxifen toxicity in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Methods: The effects of IL-1β on tamoxifen toxicity following 20-day treatment of MCF-7 cells with IL-1β and/or 17β-estradiol (E2) were measured by MTT assay.
