Research Abstract |
The effects of tamoxifen (TAM) on the growth and cell cycle kinetics in an estrogen- and progesterone-receptor negative ovarian cancer in rats were evaluated. Although no macroscopic reducting effect of TAM on tumors was found, proliferation and replacement of connective tissue and the expansion of central necrosis was observed histologically. The administration of TAM (2.0mg/kg) caused a tendency to decrease S-phase cells and increase G0/G1-phase cells. These findings indicate that TAM might inhibit DNA syntheses. TAM significantly increased apoptosis cell in the Sub-G1 region on DNA cytograms in a dose-dependent manner. TAM is therefore thought to have a potentially inhibitory effect on the growth of ovarian cancer.
