Transfection of Antisense Chorionic Gonadotropin β Gene into Choriocarcinoma Cells Suppresses the Cell Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Choriocarcinoma cells not only synthesize human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but also express LH/CG receptors on the cell membrane. This suggests that the hCG and LH/CG receptors may play a role in regulating the biological function of choriocarcinoma cells in an autocrine/paracrine manner. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: The objective of this study was to ascertain whether the inhibition of CGbeta gene...
