Sex hormone receptors in mammary tumours of GR mice. 1976

M Sluyser, and S G Evers, and C C De Goeij

Studies of the growth behaviour and hormone receptor contents of GR-mouse mammary tumours suggest that the hormone responsive tumours are mixed populations of hormone-dependent cells and autonomous cells. The hormone-dependent moiety of these tumours contains high levels of progesterone receptor and oestrogen receptor. The autonomous moiety has a low but probably significant oestrogen receptor level, and is practically devoid of progesterone receptor. Androgen receptor levels in both moieties are low. Endocrine ablation prevents growth of the hormone-dependent moiety of the tumours, but not of the autonomous moiety.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D004970 Estrone An aromatized C18 steroid with a 3-hydroxyl group and a 17-ketone, a major mammalian estrogen. It is converted from ANDROSTENEDIONE directly, or from TESTOSTERONE via ESTRADIOL. In humans, it is produced primarily by the cyclic ovaries, PLACENTA, and the ADIPOSE TISSUE of men and postmenopausal women.
