Evidence in the literature suggests that cancer cell growth in vitro is generally not sensitive to external calcium. A human ovarian carcinoma cell line (SKOV3) retained 60% of its normal growth in Dulbecco modified Eagle's medium (DME) when the calcium concentration was reduced from 3 m M to 10 pM.

The dissemination of ovarian carcinoma cells within the abdominal cavity involves interaction of tumor cells with the peritoneal mesothelium. The aim of our study was to investigate whether mesothelial cells might directly affect the spreading of this tumor by inducing motility and invasiveness of h
## Abstract The expression and functions of ILโ12 receptor (ILโ12R) in human ovarian carcinoma cell lines have been investigated. Ovarian carcinoma cells express both the ILโ12Rฮฒ1 and the ILโ12Rฮฒ2 subunits. ILโ12R crosslinking resulted in phosphorylation of Tyk2, p44 (ERK1) and Akt kinases and acti
## Abstract Taxol is extensively used clinically for chemotherapy of patients with ovarian, breast, and lung cancer. Although taxol induces apoptosis of cancer cells, its exact mechanism of action is not yet known. To determine the mechanism of action of taxol in ovarian cancer, we tested the effec
