Estradiol Up-Regulates Antiapoptotic Bcl-2 Messenger Ribonucleic Acid and Protein in Tumorigenic Ovarian Surface Epithelium Cells*
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Most epithelial ovarian tumors appear to arise from the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). Even though it has been suggested that estrogen may be associated with ovarian tumorigenesis, the exact role of estrogen in the regulation of apoptosis in neoplastic OSE cells remains uncertain. Immortalized OSE (IOSE) cell lines were generated from human normal OSE. These cell lines represent early neoplastic (IOSE-29),...
