1 European Review for Medical harmacological Sciences 2017; 21: Effects of estradiol and progesterone on the growth of HeLa cervical cancer cells Y. LIU 1, L.-B. TIAN 2, H.-Y. YANG 1, H.-P. ZHANG 1 1 Tumor Hospital of Yunnan Province, Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, Yunnan Province, China 2 BaoShan People s Hospital, BaoShan, Yunnan Province, China Abstract. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project was to examine the effects of estradiol ( ) and progesterone (P) on the proliferation of HeLa cells. promoted inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Then, we tested the consequence of combining the different activities of + P. RESULTS: We found that P inhibited the proliferative effect of on HeLa cells. Analysis of fotocitometry (FCM) cell cycle and apoptosis rate showed that decreased significantly G0/ G1 phase, P and + P significantly increased G0/G, and decreased significantly S phase. P inhibits tumor growth and induces apoptosis mainly by blocking the progression from G1 to S phase. Thus, the + P combination can effectively inhibit the effect of on HeLa cell proliferation. Meanwhile, the + P combination can block the progression from G1 to S phase to induce apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these results suggest that the combined application of can be a new effective strategy for hormone replacement therapy after treatment of cervical adenocarcinoma. Key Words: Estradiol ( ), Progesterone (P), Human HeLa cervical adenocarcinoma cell. Introduction Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the female reproductive system. Cervical squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 80% of all the tumors and adenocarcinoma for another 15%. In recent years, epidemiologic studies have shown that the prevalence of cervical cancer has increased and tended to affect younger females. Specifically, the prevalence of cervical adenocarcinoma among young patients has significantly risen, accounting for 20~30% of all cervical cancers 1,2. The rate of ovary metastasis for cervical adenocarcinoma is around 4%, significantly higher than for cervical squamous cell carcinoma (0.2%). Therefore, resection of bilateral ovaries is often conducted together with radical hysterectomy in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma. Radical radiotherapy on advanced cervical cancer may lead to loss of ovarian function. In short, patients may suffer partial or complete loss of ovarian function after cervical carcinoma therapy, leading to estradiol deficiency, hectic fever, perspiration, insomnia, coleostenosis, dyspareunia, and other symptoms that seriously affect the life quality of patients. In particular, loss of ovarian function in young patients alters several aspects of their life and even result in family breakdown. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can effectively relieve female climacteric symptom, urogenital atrophy, osteoporosis, and other symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency and improve their life quality 3. However, the application of HRT in cervical cancer patients is still controversial. Most scholars believe that HRT does not increase the incidence of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Whereas Xenoestrogen does not increase the occurrence of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, the occurrence of cervical adenocarcinoma may be associated with estradiol. Thus, HRT may affect the prognosis of these tumors 4. However, other studies show that the using progesterone (P) to counter the effect of estradiol ( ) may significantly decrease the occurrence of cervical adenocarcinoma. This combination provides an opportunity to apply HRT after comprehensive therapy of cervical adenocarcinoma. Most research on the application of HRT in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma focus on clinical observations, but few studies Corresponding Author: Hong-ping Zhang, MD;
2 Y. Liu, L.-B. Tian, H.-Y. Yang, H.-P. Zhang have focused on the mechanisms of this therapy. By determining the effect of different treatments (concentrations and time), we studied whether can induce proliferation and apoptosis of cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells. Additionally, we detected the changes in cell cycle and apoptosis rate in HeLa cells after the treatments. Our ultimate objective is to provide the mechanistic foundation for the application of HRT after comprehensive therapy of cervical adenocarcinoma. Material and Methods Materials The Yunnan Provincial Tumor Institution provided the cryopreserved cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cell line, which is positive for estradiol and progesterone receptors. The cell line is ready for experiment use after cell recovery and continuous cell culture. Experimental Groups We established the following treatment groups for our studies:, P, + P, and control. The groups were set with 5 concentration gradients in the MTT test: 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 μmol/l. Each treatment was observed at 24, 48, and 72 h. The optimal drug concentration and time for as well as the optimal compatibility concentration for in the + P group were selected based on the MTT results. HeLa Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Rates, P, and + P (1 μmol/l) were applied on cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells for 72 h. Beckman-Coulter FCM was used to detect results, and then Count WinCycle software was used for DNA analysis to identify cells in G 0 /G 1, G 2 /M, and S phases. The TUNEL method was applied to detect apoptosis in HeLa cells. Cell proliferation inhibition rate (%) = value of the experimental group- value of the control group)/ value of the control group 100%. Statistical Analysis The SPSS17.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. Data were expressed as x ± sd. Analysis of variance was used for inter-group comparison and q test for pairwise comparison. Spearman test was use for correlation analysis. When p < 0.05, it was considered statistically significant. Results Effects of on HeLa Cell Proliferation We first examined the effect of different and P concentrations and incubation times on the proliferation of HeLa cells. treatments from 0.01, 0.1, 1 μmol/l promoted the growth of HeLa cells, with the longer treatment showing the strongest growth (Figure 1 and Table I). In contrast, P inhibited the growth of HeLa cells, showing time and concentration dependence (Figure 2 and Table II). treatments for 96 h led to massive cell floating and death, which was an indication that long-term exposure to led to limited nutrition and growth space for the cells, while P was too toxic. Therefore, 72 h was used as the maximum test time for in subsequent experiments. The best effect of in HeLa cell growth was observed at 1 μmol/l for 72 h. The IC 50 for P group after 72 h was μmol/l. Therefore, for the + P group we selected the 0.01, 0.1, 10, and 100 μmol/l concentrations for for the MTT assay and 1 μmol/l for morphological observation and FCM detection. Effect on Proliferation of Cervical Adenocarcinoma HeLa Cells The treatments for 24 h showed no statistical differences in the proliferation of HeLa cells with respect to control, except for the 10 μmol/l treatment (Table I). In 48 h treatment, 1 and 10 μmol/l significantly promoted the growth of cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cell (Table I). In the 72 h treatment, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μmol/l significantly promoted the growth of HeLa cell Figure 1. promotes the proliferation of HeLa cells. 3960

The 24 and 48 h treatments with 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μmol/l of +P had the same effect on HeLa cell proliferation as the control group (Figure 3 and Table III). Only the + P 100 μmol/l treatment significantly inhibited HeLa cell proliferation (Figure 3 and Table III). The proliferation inhibition rates of cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cell of + P with different concentrations after 24, 48, and 72 h were drawn (Figure 3). Change of Cell Cycle and Apoptosis in HeLa Cells After + P Treatment By morphological observation, had no effect on HeLa cells. Similarly, treating HeLa cells with P and + P showed no morphological differences. Using FCM, the proportion of HeLa cell at G 0 /G 1 phase dropped significantly under the effect of (Table IV). The proportion of cells in S and G 2 /M phases increased, but with no statistical significance (Table IV). In the treatments with P and + P, the proportion of HeLa cell in G0/ G1 phase increased significantly, while cells in S phase dropped significantly (Table IV). The proportion of HeLa cells in G2/M phase showed no differences of statistical significance compared with the control group. A characteristic hypodiploid peak appeared at pre-peak of G0/G1 phase. Compared with the P group, the proportion of HeLa cells in G0/G1 phase in the + P group increased significantly (Table IV and Figure 4) 6.

In recent years, the relationship between and female malignant tumors has been revealed. For example, can promote the growth of an endometrial and breast cancer cell lines in vitro 6. P can inhibit proliferation of normal breast epithelial cells in vivo and inhibit the proliferation of a mammary carcinoma 7 and an endometrial cancer cell line in vitro 8. P also inhibits the proliferation of ovarian carcinoma cells, showing dosage-effect relationship 9. Zheng et al 10 have showed that progesterone inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells resulted from mainly by progesterone receptor subtype B (PR-B). Our work showed that promoted proliferation of HeLa cells significantly inhibited proliferation of HeLa cells. The + P combination at high concentrations significantly inhibited HeLa cell proliferation, indicating that P can effectively antagonize the cell proliferative effect of. This result is consistent with the work of Chen Zeng-yan et al 11, and is also similar to other results in endometrial cancer. Therefore, may correlate with adenocarcinoma of endometrial tissue 12. Although low concentration stimulated proliferation, higher concentrations had a weaker effect on proliferation of HeLa cells. This is consistent with the statement from Rees et al 13 : estradiol may stimulate the proliferation of breast cancer cell and also inhibit its growth. However, this is inconsistent with the conclusion of Chen Zeng-yan et al 11 that effect on proliferation of HeLa cell is positively related to drug concentration. The above result may be associated with the relationship between cell amount and drug concentration, where too high drug concentration may produce drug toxicity and further cause HeLa cell damage and death. The purpose of HRT is to find the minimum effective concentration. Therefore, safe and effective treating time and dosage should be continuously explored in follow-up test and clinical application 14,
7 Effects of estradiol and progesterone on the growth of HeLa cervical cancer cells FCM showed that significantly decreased proportion of cells at G0/G1 phase. This suggested that promotes cell proliferation through changing HeLa cell cycle phase. Additionally, P and + P, significantly increased G0/G1 phase and significantly decreased S-phase. Thus, P inhibits HeLa cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by blocking the progression of cell cycle from G1 phase to S phase. It appears that the combination of promotes the expression of progesterone receptor, and thus enhances the apoptosis-promoting effect of P. To sum up, promotes the proliferation of HeLa cells at low concentrations, but high concentrations. promotes cell proliferation mainly through changing the cell cycle of HeLa cells. P inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cells and induces apoptosis mainly by blocking the progression of cell cycle from G1 to S phase. The combination effectively antagonizes the proliferation effect of on HeLa cell, and induces cell apoptosis through blocking the progression of cell cycle from G1 to S phase while inhibiting proliferation. Therefore, treating patients with cervical adenocarcinoma with alone is highly risky, but adding P may effectively antagonize the proliferation effect of and induce apoptosis. Therefore, the combined application of may be a new estrategy for HRT in cervical adenocarcinoma. Conclusions Overall, we found that the combined application of can be a new effective strategy for hormone replacement therapy after treatment of cervical adenocarcinoma.
