TL;DR:
A role for impaired EGFr function in PhB liver tumor promotion due to effects on existing EGFr protein is supported and it is suggested that EGFr down-regulation by PhB in culture is independent of CYP2B1/2 activity but shares mechanistic components involved in its transcriptional activation byPhB.
