Histochemistry of steroid receptors in prostatic diseases.
Tissue obtained from 55 men with prostatic disease was assayed for estrogen and androgen receptors by a newly developed histochemical technique. The material studied consisted of 45 specimens of benign nodular prostatic hyperplasia and 10 specimens of prostatic adenocarcinoma. The results obtained were compared to those of parallel biochemical assays in 17 cases and successfully correlated in 8...
متن کاملHistochemistry of steroid receptors in breast cancer: an overview.
Immunofluorescence and a new histochemical technique were employed to assay 226 breast cancer specimens for estrogen receptor. Results showed an overall correlation of 91 percent when compared to those of biochemical assays. The histochemical technique is rapid, easy to perform and reveals the same parameters as does immunofluorescence without the need for antiserum. Tumor cell receptor heterog...
متن کاملSteroid hormone receptors: an update.
Steroid hormones (SHs) are lipophilic molecules derived from cholesterol and synthesized in the adrenal cortex (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens), the testes (testicular androgens, oestrogen), and the ovary and placenta (oestrogens and progestagens or progestins). SHs reach their target cells via the blood, where they are bound to carrier proteins, and because of their...
متن کاملEndometrial leucocytes: expression of steroid hormone receptors.
BACKGROUND Stromal leucocyte populations in human endometrium comprise T cells, macrophages, and phenotypically unusual endometrial granulated lymphocytes. Their proportions vary during the menstrual cycle and, in particular, endometrial granulated lymphocytes increase in number in the late secretory phase. The stimulus responsible for these cyclical changes is unknown but it is likely that the...
متن کاملStat3 enhances transactivation of steroid hormone receptors
BACKGROUND: Steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) are members of the superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate many biological processes. Co-regulators act as bridging molecules between the SHR and general transcription factors to enhance transactivation of target genes. Previous studies demonstrated that Stat3 is constitutively activated in prostate cancer and can enhance ...
