Estradiol agonists inhibit human LoVo colorectal-cancer cell proliferation and migration t... Hsi-Hsien Hsu, Wei-Wen Kuo, Da-Tong Ju... World journal of gastroenterology : WJG 11/2014 20(44):16665-73. World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG 11/2014; 20(44):16665-73. DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v20.i44.16665 Source: PubMed ABSTRACT To investigate the effects of 17β-estradiol via estrogen receptors (ER) or direct administration of ER agonists on human colorectal cancer. LoVo cells were established from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center and cultured in phenol red-free DMEM (Sigma, United States). To investigate the effects of E2 and/or ER selective agonists on cellular proliferation, LoVo colorectal cells were treated with E2 or ER-selective agonists for 24 h and 48 h and subjected to the MTT (Sigma) assay to find the concentration. And investigate the effects of E2 and/or ER selective agonists on cell used western immunoblotting to find out the diver...
