Constitutive co-expression of estrogen and progesterone receptor mRNA in human meningiomas by RT-PCR and response ofin vitro cell cultures to steroid hormones
4 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Although it is well recognised that human meningiomas are rich in progesterone receptor (PgR), controversy has existed about the presence of the estrogen receptor (ER) in these tumours. We have investigated the presence of both ER and PgR in a series of 20 human meningiomas, spanning the main histological groups, using reverse transcription linked PCR (RT-PCR). Total RNA was extracted from whole tissues and...
