β¦ Synopsis
Cancer of the genital tract is the final outcome of some infections with human papillomavirus (HPVs), and the most estrogen-sensitive cells are at greatest risk for the HPV-related cancers. Therefore we investigated relationships between HPVs and estrogen metabolism in cells of the genital tract. Increased conversion of estradiol to I6a-hydroxyestrone, known to be a risk factor for cancer in some other estrogen-sensitive cells, was investigated in keratinocytes from the genital tract. Primary cells, particularly those explants from the transformation zone of the cervix, are able to 16a-hydroxylate estradiol. Both cervical and foreskin cells immortalized with HPV-16 are greatly enhanced in the 16~x1-hydroxylation of estradiol as compared with normal cells. We suggest a model whereby the combined action of 16~-hydroxylation of estrogen and HPV work together to promote cell proliferation.

It has been shown that angiogenesis plays an important role not only in tumor growth, but also in early carcinogenesis. The expression of a potent angiogenic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), increased during the early stage of carcinogenesis. In this study, the effects of the neutr
The responsiveness of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer to endocrine therapy is frequently reduced in cells over-expressing c-erbB-2. Stimulation of ER suppresses c-erbB-2, indicating that estrogen controls the activity of c-erbB-2. Heregulin (HRG) has been described to bind to c-erbB-3/
