The effects of estradiol (E2) on 2 cloned sublines derived from the T47D human breast cancer cell line were studied in vitro. Cell proliferation was evaluated by DNA assay, cell counts and thymidine incorporation. The rate of synthesis of proteins released into the cell culture medium was assayed by [35S]methionine incorporation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by fluorography. In clone 11, which contains estrogen and progesterone receptors, estradiol (1-pM-1 nM) stimulated cell proliferation 2- to 5-fold after a lag period of 6 days. Maximal stimulation was observed with 1 or 3% fetal calf serum and without added insulin. The effect of E2 was biphasic, since the growth rate was stimulated for E2 concentrations < 10 nM and then progressively inhibited for higher concentrations. Dexamethasone, dihydrotestosterone, progesterone and R5020 [promegesterone] (at 1 nM or 1 .mu.M) did not modify cell growth. The antiestrogen Tamoxifen (1 .mu.M) inhibited the E2-induced stimulation and decreased the growth of control cells. Estrogen also stimulated 2- to 3-fold the synthesis of .apprx. 60K MW dalton proteins which were released into the medium. This effect was seen as early as 1 day of E2 treatment, and a plateau of stimulation was reached with 0.1 nM E2. By contrast, in clone 8, which contains low concentrations of estrogen and progesterone receptors, E2 had no effect on cell growth and stimulated slightly the synthesis of a 55K protein. Evidently, E2 is able to directly stimulate the proliferation of human epithelial breast cancer cells after having stimulated the synthesis of .apprx. 60,000 dalton proteins released into the medium.
