Project description:Comparison between the effects of progesterone (P4) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) combined to estradiol (E2) on gene expression in normal breast cells to provide insight on their possible different impact on breast cancer risk in vivo.
Project description:Cells were cotreated with dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate and estrdiol to assess the combinatorial effects of hormone exposure in breast cancer cells
Project description:Cells were cotreated with estrogen and dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate to assess the combinatorial effects of progestogens or androgens with estrogen in T47D breast cancer cells
Project description:Comparison between the effects of progesterone (P4) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) combined to estradiol (E2) on gene expression in normal breast cells to provide insight on their possible different impact on breast cancer risk in vivo. Total RNA obtained from cultures of normal human breast epithelial cells (HBE) under E2, E2+MPA and E2+P4 six hour treatments, compared to untreated HBE cells
Project description:Cells were cotreated with dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate and estrdiol to assess the combinatorial effects of hormone exposure in breast cancer cells Cells were plated in hormone stripped media for 56h, followed by treatment for 16h with 10nM of the nominated hormone(s)
Project description:Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is a progestin that can bind to and activate progesterone, androgen and glucocorticoid receptors. However, it is not known which receptor mediates MPA action in a cellular context where all three of these receptors are co-expressed and functional. This microarray experiment was performed to compare the transcriptomes induced by MPA and the cognate ligands for these receptors ie progesterone (PROG), 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dexamethasone (DEX) in breast cancer cells to determine which was most similar to MPA.
Project description:Here we report the gene expression profile of in vitro cultured human endometrial stromal cells treated with siRNA targeting FOXO1 piror to eutherian differentiation media exposure. The eutherian differentiation media contains cyclic AMP (cAMP) analogue 8-Br-cAMP and the progesterone (P4) analogue medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA).
Project description:Serum starved MDAMB453 cells were serum starved and treated for 4 hours with vehicle control (ethanol), 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT; 10nM) or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA; 10nM). AR binidng peaks were determined. Subsequent analysis showed that binding sites for androgen receptor are enriched at breast cancer risk loci.
Project description:Endometriosis is characterized by progesterone resistance and is associated with infertility. KrM-CM-<ppel-like Factor 9 (KLF9) is a progesterone receptor (PGR)-interacting protein, and mice null for Klf9 are subfertile. Whether loss of KLF9 contributes to progesterone resistance of eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate KLF9 and PGR co-regulation of human endometrial stromal cell (HESC) transcriptome network. Microarray gene expression analysis was conducted in decidualizing HESC by silencing the expression of KLF9 and PGR, alone or in combination by a siRNA approach, to identify additional KLF9 and PGR co-regulated genes and signaling networks/pathways. HESC also treated with 8-bromo-cAMP, 17M-CM-^_-estradiol, and medroxyprogesterone acetate (cAME) to mimic stromal progression from a proliferative to a differentiated state.
