Adjuvant anastrozole versus exemestane versus letrozole, upfront or after 2 years of tamoxifen, in endocrine-sensitive breast cancer (FATA-GIM3): a r…
2018
Background: Uncertainty exists about the optimal schedule of adjuvant treatment of breast cancer with aromatase inhibitors and, to our knowledge, no trial has directly compared the three aromatase inhibitors anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole. We investigated the schedule and type of aromatase inhibitors to be used as adjuvant treatment for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Methods: FATA-GIM3 is a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial of six different treatments in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed invasive hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that had been completely remov…
Dietary exposure in utero and during lactation to a mixture of genistein and an anti-androgen fungicide in a rat mammary carcinogenesis model
2015
Endocrine disruptors may play substantial roles in the high incidence of breast cancer. We previously described how early exposure to the mixture of phytoestrogen genistein (G) and the anti-androgen vinclozolin (V) affects peripubertal mammary development. This study evaluates the carcinogenic potential of exposure to V alone or associated with G from conception until weaning in Wistar rats. Dams were exposed to V, G or GV during pregnancy/lactation. At PND50 offspring were treated with DMBA[7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene]. V or GV maternal exposure decreased number of DMBA-induced mammary tumors in the offspring, without significant modifications in tumor incidence, multiplicity and latenc…
Circulating progesterone levels and ongoing pregnancy rates in controlled ovarian stimulation cycles for in vitro fertilization: analysis of over 400…
2010
background: The influence of elevated serum progesterone levels during in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ ICSI) cycles on pregnancy rates is a matter of continued debate among fertility clinicians. Efforts to resolve this question have been impeded by the various assays used to measure progesterone and the different, arbitrary threshold values for defining ‘high’ progesterone levels. methods: A non-interventional, retrospective, observational, single-centre cohort study evaluated the relationship between serum progesterone levels on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) administration and the ongoing pregnancy rate in 4032 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI cyc…
Letter to the Editor regarding the paper by Aurilio et al., A meta-analysis of oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth f…
2014
Sir,We have read with great interest the article in press ofAurilio et al., A meta-analysis of oestrogen receptor, pro-gesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factorreceptor 2 discordance between primary breast cancerand metastases (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejca.2003.10.004), which will appear in Eur J Cancer. In the paper,the Authors have performed a meta-analysis of the stud-ies published in the literature concerning the discor-dance rate in oestrogen receptor (ER), progesteronereceptor (PgR) and HER2 status between primarytumour and corresponding relapse. It is well known thata considerable controversy concerns the issue of hor-mone receptors (HRs) expression as well as HER2 sta…
Low estradiol-to-testosterone ratio is associated with oligo-anovulatory cycles and atherogenic lipidic pattern in women with polycystic ovary syndro…
2010
The estradiol-to-testosterone (E2/T) ratio has been investigated in different diseases but few in vivo data are available with regard to its role in women with ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the E2/T ratio in the ovulatory function and metabolic pattern in such women.We retrospectively evaluated hyperandrogenemia, clinical hyperandrogenism, ovarian morphology, hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis and metabolic syndrome parameters in a cohort of 202 consecutive women affected by PCOS. An oral glucose tolerance test measured areas under the curve for insulin (AUC(2hIRI)), for glucose (AUC(2hglucose)), and the HOMA-IR and Matsuda index of insulin resistance we…
An in vitro investigation on the cytotoxic and nuclear receptor transcriptional activity of the mycotoxins fumonisin B1 and beauvericin.
2016
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) and beauvericin (BEA) are secondary metabolites of filamentous fungi, which under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions may develop on various foods and feeds. To date few studies have been performed to evaluate the toxicological and endocrine disrupting effects of FB1 and BEA. The present study makes use of various in vitro bioassays including; oestrogen, androgen, progestagen and glucocorticoid reporter gene assays (RGAs) for the study of nuclear receptor transcriptional activity, the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay to monitor cytotoxicity and high content analysis (HCA) for the detection of pre-lethal toxicity in the RGA and Caco-2 human colon …
Inducibility of the avidin gene by progesterone is suppressed during estrogen-induced cytodifferentiation.
1992
Abstract We have studied epithelial differentiation of the chick oviduct as induced by diethylstilbestrol (DES) and 17β-estradiol (E 2 ). The proportion of goblet cells in the oviduct was slightly higher after E 2 than after DES treatment. Also avidin induction by progesterone was stronger following DES than E 2 priming. In the estrogen pretreated oviduct epithelium, avidin expression was induced by progesterone in the surface epithelial cells, protodifferentiated gland cells and tubular gland cells, but not in goblet cells. During prolonged estrogen treatment, however, the inducibility of avidin by progesterone ceased in tubular gland cells but not in surface epithelial cells. The estrogen…
Análisis molecular de la valoración del intervalo de tiempo óptimo entre la administración de acetato de triptorelina y la punción folicular en los t…
2023
Los fármacos análogos de la GnRH y la hCG han demostrado ser igualmente eficaces en la activación de la cascada de intermediarios de la maduración final ovocitaria que ocurre tras el estímulo ovulatorio. Sin embargo, su mecanismo de acción y por tanto los perfiles hormonales hallados tras el estímulo de los dos fármacos son muy diferentes. El tiempo más adecuado para programar la recolección ovocitaria tras la administración de acetato de triptorelina podría no ser 36 horas como ampliamente se ha pautado en los tratamientos de FIV con hCG. Este intervalo de tiempo es sumamente importante para obtener la mayor proporción posible de ovocitos MII porque procesos como el inicio de la luteinizac…
C-myc mRNA Expression in Epithelial Ovarian Carcinomas in Relation to Estrogen Receptor Status, Metastatic Spread, Survival Time, FIGO Stage, and His…
1998
Recently, it has been suggested that c-myc expression might correlate with estrogen receptor (ER) status and metastatic spread in ovarian cancer. In this study, expression of c-myc mRNA in 90 epithelial ovarian carcinomas was determined using the S1 nuclease protection assay. Expression of c-myc mRNA was detectable in 27 of 90 tumors. There was no significant association between c-myc mRNA expression and metastatic spread, survival time, FIGO stage, or histologic grade and type. C-myc mRNA was expressed in 45% of ER-positive tumors but only 24% of ER-negative tumors (p = 0.094; Fisher's exact test). Similarly, 44% of progesterone receptor (PR)-positive and 23% of PR-negative tumors expresse…
SENSITIZED LANTHANIDE FLUORESCENCE DETECTION OF STEROIDAL HORMONES
2000
Several steroidal hormones with an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group sensitized the fluorescence of terbium(III) ions: medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, methyltestosterone, nandrolone, nandrolone decanoate, progesterone, testosterone, testosterone enanthate, and testosterone propionate, but other steroids which have this chromophore did not give any signal: clostebol acetate, dehydrotestosterone, dydrogesterone, methandienone, and methenolone enanthate. Sensitized fluorescence was used to detect the steroids when eluted with micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-acetonitrile and SDS-pentanol containing 0.01 M Tb(III), with 245 nm and 545 nm as excitation and e…
