Purpose In the following work, we investigated the effect of matcha green tea extract (MTE) on MCF-7 breast cancer cell viability and estrogen receptor-beta expression (ER beta). Methods MCF-7 cells were stimulated with MTE at concentrations of 5 and 10 mu g/ml. Cell viability was assessed using a water-soluble tetrazolium assay (WST-1 assay) after an incubation time of 72 h. ER beta was quantified at gene level by realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A western blot (WB) was carried out for the qualitative assessment of the expression behavior of on a protein level. Results The WST-1 test showed a significant inhibition of viability in MFC-7 cells after 72 h at 10 mu g/ml. The WB demonstrated a significant quantitative decrease of ER beta at protein level with MTE concentrations of 10 mu g/ml. In contrast, the PCR did not result in significant downregulation of ER beta. Conclusion MTE decreases the cell viability of MCF-7 cells and furthermore leads to a decrease of ER beta at protein level.
