Retinoic Acid Receptor β Expression and Growth Inhibition of Gynecologic Cancer Cells by the Synthetic Retinoid N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) Retinamide
15 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The synthetic retinoid N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide (4HPR) can inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Preliminary results from a clinical trial suggest that 4HPR may reduce ovarian cancer incidence. We examined the growth-inhibitory effects of 4HPR on gynecologic cancer cell lines in vitro and the role of retinoid receptors in modulating this effect. METHODS: Twelve human gynecologic cancer cell lines...
