I7f3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (I 7HSD) type I converts the weakly active estrogen, estrone, into highly active estradiol. In addition to being essential for gonadal estradiol biosynthesis, the enzyme is also expressed in a significant proportion of breast tumors. In order to study the role of th

We have previously reported that the proliferation of cloned MCF-7 and T47D human mammary tumor cells can be inhibited by increasing concentrations of charcoal-dextran stripped female human serum (CDFHS). The maximal proliferation rate was restored by the addition of 3 X 10(-11) M estradiol-17 beta
## Abstract Estradiol levels in breast tumors from post‐menopausal women are similar to those in pre‐menopausal women even though plasma estrogens are much lower after the menopause. __In situ__ estrogen production by the tumor provides a potential means of maintaining high estradiol levels in post
## Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that cultured human breast fibroblasts secrete a high‐molecular‐weight polypeptide which stimulates the ability of human breast‐cancer MCF‐7 cells to convert oestrone (E1) to the biologically more active 17β‐oestradiol (E2). This effect is mediated by
A comparative study of the proliferative effect of 17 beta-estradiol and 17 alpha-estradiol on human estrogen-sensitive cell lines was performed. When using charcoal-dextran stripped human female sera-supplemented media the administration of t h e hormones, 17 alpha-estradiol at 3 x IO-"M, and 17 be
