摘要: Estrogen receptor positive ovarian cancer is often refractile to antiestrogen therapy. Here we describe the SKOV3 human carcinoma cell line as an in vitro model for estrogen and resistant cancer. While cells expressed (ER) mRNA protein at a similar level responsive T47D breast line, their growth was not estradiol (E2) inhibited by antiestrogens OH-tamoxifen ICI 164,384. The ER normal with respect apparent Kd binding E2, E2 regulation of transiently transfected ERE driven reporter gene, stimulation expression early response genes c-myc c-fos. However, exhibited no progesterone gene (PR) even after addition products HER-2/neu cathepsin D were constitutive levels that regulated E2. Therefore, resistance these may be result loss selected regulatory rather than defect activation transcriptional regulator.
