Research Abstract |
Estrogens stimulate cell proliferation of estrogen-responsiveorgans including the uterus, mammary gland, and anterior pituitary gland. Recently, wehave found that 17-β estradiol (E2) had estrogen receptor-mediated anti-mitogenic actionin presence of growth factors such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on ratlactotroph primary cell culture. However, at present, the cellular and molecularmechanisms underlying the IGF-1-dependent anti-mitogenic action of estrogen uponlactotroph remain unknown. In this study, we have found the microRNA which might beinvolved in the anti-proliferative action of estrogens.
