Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of antiestrogen and antiprogestin on the proliferation of ovarian epithelial cancer (OEC) cell lines in vitro. Methods A variety of protocols were utilized to conduct this study. Results OEC cell line SKOV3 is ER(+)/PR(-), while OVCAR-3 is ER(+)/PR(+). High dose of tamxifen inhibited the proliferation of both cell lines, while mifepristone only inhibited OVCAR-3. Conclusion Antiestrogen and antiprogestin can inhibit the proliferation of some ovarian epithelial cancer cel...
