Estrogen binding sites in the nucleus of normal and malignant human tissue: optimization of an exchange assay for the measurement of specific binding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An exchange assay has been validated and used to measure the total concentration of estrogen receptors in the nuclei of cells from human breast tumors and myometrium. Tissue homogenates were centrifuged through 1.2 M sucrose pads to separate crude chromatin from soluble ane membranous fractions. The yield of DNA by this procedure was approximately 80%. Total binding sites were measured by incubating the sedimented pellets with tritiated estradiol at 30 degrees for 60 min and then precipitating the receptor-steroid complexes with protamine sulfate. Saturation analysis by this procedure provides evidence for the presence of a specific, nuclear estrogen-binding site in addition to the established estrogen receptor in both these tissues.

Objective: Shortia and other members of the Diapensiaceae family have ethnomedicinal history in both Eastern and Western hemispheres. Based on ethnopharmacological and chemosystematic evidence, pharmacological and toxicological bioassays were conducted on the rare plant Oconee Bell, Shortia galacifolia. Materials and Methods: Extracts were examined in assays for antimutagenicity, antitumor and ...
متن کاملEstrogen Receptor Beta Expression in Melanomas Versus Dysplastic Nevi
Dear Editor-in-ChiefMalignant melanoma is a tumor arising from melanocyte; this tumor rarely occurs before puberty, with higher mortality rate in males and better survival rate in female patients affected by metastatic melanoma (1, 2). These facts propose that a relationship and association may exist between estrogens and melanoma. The effects of estrogens are mediated by...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Tumor-Binding Peptide for Lung Cancer Through in-vitro Panning
Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...
