Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor Mediates Proliferation of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cells by Positive and Negative Regulation of Growth-associated Genes
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) inhibits chymotrypsin, trypsin, elastase, and cathepsin G. This protein also exhibits proliferative effects, although little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this activity. We have generated SLPI-ablated epithelial sublines by stably transfecting the Ishikawa human endometrial cell line with an antisense human SLPI RNA expression vector. We...
