✦ Synopsis


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 beta-estradiol at 3 x IO-"M, resulted in a ten-fold increase in cell yield when compared with non-estrogen supplemented controls after cells were grown for periods between 10 to 14 days. No significant metabolization of 17 alphaestradiol into 17 beta-estradiol occurred as measured by the E2 levels in the supernatants of the cell culture flasks. Increased concentrations of 17 betaestradiol and 17 alpha-estradiol added to the media bathing C7MCF7-173 cells resulted in a triggering of a partially successful shut-off effect; this phenornenon was not observed with T47D-All cells. These results are compatible with predictions stemming from the indirect and direct negative working hypothesis for t h e regulation of cell Proliferation.
