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

✦ Synopsis
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 to the culture media. These observations suggest that the proliferation of T47D and MCF-7 cells is regulated by a blood-borne inhibitor whose effects are neutralized by estrogens. In the present report we explore the possibility that progesterone alters the estrogenic response. MCF-7 cells were grown in DME containing 2-40% CDFHS. Progesterone, at 3 X 10(-7) M to 3 X 10(-12) M, had no effect on the yield of MCF-7 or T47D cells that were cultured in the presence or absence of estradiol-17 beta.

In many cancer cell lines, including breast, prostate, lung, brain, head and neck, retina, and the gastrointestinal tract, opioids decrease cell proliferation in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. Opioid and/or other neuropeptide receptors mediate this decrease. We report that only the steroid-
