Abstract: | MCF7 cells were cultured with steroids, labelled with (35S)-methionine and the secreted and intracellular proteins were examined by one and two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Estradiol (0.1 nM) increased the synthesis of some of the secreted proteins; the induction of a protein of molecular weight 46,000 daltons being the most dramatic. The 46,000 daltons secreted protein was heterogeneous with respect to molecular weight and isoelectric point. The antiestrogen Tamoxifen did not stimulate the synthesis of any of the estrogen induced proteins, but completely inhibited the induction by estradiol. The effect of estradiol on internal proteins was much more subtle; only 3 proteins out of about 250 were stimulated. The functions of these Proteins are unknown, however they appear to be good markers for studying the mechanism of action of estrogens and antiestrogens in breast cancer and might be related to the control of cell proliferation by estrogen. |
