Abstract
Background
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy that originates from the inner lining of the uterus and predominantly affects postmenopausal women. Prolonged exposure to estrogen, family history of endometrial cancer, obesity, and hormonal imbalance are some of the risk factors associated with endometrial cancer. In our study, we investigated the effect of estradiol, a potent form of estrogen at various concentrations on endometrial cell line RL95–2.
Methods
Endometrial cell RL95–2 were cultured in DMEM medium with optimal conditions required to maintain the cells. MTT assay and colony formation assay were further performed after treating the cells with different concentrations of estradiol (1, 10, and 100 nM) and TAM (100 nM). Moreover, the effect of genes regulated by estradiol was also examined using microarray and validated using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
Results
Time-dependent MTT assay shows a significant change in the ability of the cells to survive relative to concentrations. Colony formation was found to be directly proportional to the concentration of the estradiol (p < 0.05). Among genes, MMP14 (p = 0.03), SPARCL1 (p = 0.005), and CLU (p = 0.06) showed a significant up-regulation in their expression after estradiol treatment while NRN1 (p < 0.001) showed significant downregulation in expression pattern compared to control. However, the TAM treatment was found to be significantly effective after 72 h (p < 0.001) compared to control and 100 nM E2 (p = 0.0206).
Conclusion
Our study suggests that estradiol significantly contributes to regulating the viability, colony formation, and expression of genes associated with endometrial cancer.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
