We have introduced the human estrogen receptor (ER) gene into HeLa cells, a human adenocarcinoma cell line of uterine origin, by infection. The ER cDNA was inserted into a retroviral vector (pMV7-ER) which also contains the neomycin resistance gene to allow for selection of stable infected clones. Northern analysis showed exogenous ER expression in stable clones. The ER protein expressed was about 66 kDa, similar to native MCF-7 ER, and binds with high affinity to estrogen (E2). We have also observed that addition of E2 at 10(-8) M inhibits the growth of the I-1 clone which expresses high levels of the ER (223 fmol/mg cytosol protein). The inhibitory effects of E2 directly correlate with the quantity of ER in the cells. E2-induced gene expression analysis showed that pS2 and progesterone receptor (PgR), genes induced in MCF-7 cells by E2, are not induced in the ER+ HeLa clones. However, c-myc expression was found to be decreased and may be responsible for the observed growth inhibition by E2.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.
