From: Gene expression profiling reveals effects of Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) NUTT. (black cohosh) on the estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line MCF-7

Figure 3

Functional categories of genes regulated in MCF-7 cells after 24 h incubation with black cohosh extract. Genes were grouped in 5 large groups (Apoptosis, Proliferation, General Growth, Signaling & Transport, Metabolism), some consisting of subgroups. Genes that are not clearly associated with these groups are summarized in the category others. The category stress response contains genes also grouped into one of the 6 main classes. Each bar represents the number of genes that were up- (dark) or downregulated (white) in the respective group.
