Study design. This study investigated the potential role of aldosterone in the proliferation of ELT-3 leiomyoma cells.Results. Aldosterone-induced ELT-3 leiomyoma cell proliferation and the expression of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) were confirmed. Pre-incubating the cells with the MR blockers spironolactone or eplerenone effectively repressed aldosterone-induced and angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cell proliferation. Treatment of aldosterone increased the levels of Ang II type-1 receptor mRNA.Conclusion. These experimental findings in vitro show the presence of complex regulation of Ang II and aldosterone induced leiomyoma cell proliferation.
