This study utilized the methodology of treating U937 human immune cells with estrogen and 4-nonylphenol at specific concentrations. RNA isolation and RT to cDNA processes were performed before applying cDNA to microarray chips and analyzing the data using Spotfire software. RT-PCR was conducted to measure the expression of ER-beta, Bcl-2, and Her-2 genes, with B-actin serving as the reference gene. Gel electrophoresis on a 2% agarose gel was employed for further analysis.
