Interaction of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and asialo-hCG with recombinant human thyrotropin receptor.
hCG is a putative thyroid stimulator. The present studies were undertaken to examine its interaction and that of its desialylated variant asialo-hCG with recombinant human TSH (hTSH) receptor (hTSHr). To this end, we transfected a human thyroid carcinoma cell line (HTC) lacking endogenous TSHr with the full-length cDNA of the hTSHr. Unlike the wild type, the transfected cells, termed HTC-TSHr c...
متن کاملHuman chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) versus magnesium sulfate to arrest preterm
Introduction: Considering the high incidence of preterm labor and its known complications, and that human myometrium contains receptors for human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) and that hCG can inhibit myometrial contractions on vitro, made me study treating effects of hCG on preterm labor. This clinical trial study was carried out to compare the effect of hCG, and magnesium sulfate (mgso4) on pre...
متن کاملHuman chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and prevention of breast cancer.
Animal and 'in vitro' experiences learned that human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is capable to protect from breast cancer. Receptors for hCG/luteinizing hormone (LH) are present on human female and male breast cancer cells. hCG decreases proliferation and invasion of breast cancer MCF-7 cells by inhibiting NF-kappa B, AP-1 activation and other genes. Doxorubicin toxicity is enhanced by conjuga...
متن کاملHuman chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) induction of apoptosis in breast cancer.
10658 Background: Apoptotic induction in cancer cells may improve the efficacy of local or systemic therapy. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injection directly into Kaposi's sarcoma or melanoma has been shown to increase the apoptotic index in these tumor types. The rapid induction of apoptosis in breast cancer immediately preceding local or systemic therapy may improve the response to thera...
متن کاملHuman chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and hyperglycosylated hCG, seven semi-independent critical molecules: A review
hCG exists in two analogous structures, as typified by the hormone hCG which binds an LH/hCG hormone receptor and the TGFß receptor binding autocrine hyperglycosylated hCG. Both share a common α-subunit and ß-subunit amino acid sequence. From the common hormone hCG and autocrine hyperglycosylated hCG structures there are seven common hCG variants with wildly varying hormone hCG or autocrine hyp...
