摘要
Progestins diminish the estrogen-induced angiogenic potential related to basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in uterine endometrial cancer cells. This led us to study the effect of various steroids on the expression of platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) as the other pertinent angiogenic factor in well-differentiated uterine endometrial cancer cell line Ishikawa. In Ishikawa cells, estradiol induced the expression of PD-ECGF and its mRNA. The estrogen-induced expression was increased approximately two-fold by progesterone and by its metabolite, 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, but not by medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Therefore, progesterone and 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone as endogenous steroids might induce PD-ECGF-related angiogenic potential in uterine endometrial cancer cells, but not MPA as a synthetic steroid. In conclusion, the failure of PD-ECGF induction by MPA might be the great merit of anti-angiogenic treatment with MPA for uterine endometrial cancers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
