A rat transplantable pituitary tumor, MtT/F84, grows much faster in E2 treated rats than in normal females, but is much retarded in thyroidectomized rats. Triiodothyronine (T3) administration in a drinking water increased the tumor growth by the dose dependent manner. The tumor contained both estrogen receptor (ER) and T3 receptor. ER levels both in the nuclei and cytosols elevated 2 to 3 times by the T3 administration compared to those of control. E2 administration promotes the growth of MtT/F84 through elevation of nuclear ER level. T3 may directly elevate cellular ER level and thus it may enhance estrogenic actions including the tumor growth.
一种可移植的大鼠垂体肿瘤MtT/F84,在经雌激素(E2)处理的大鼠中生长速度比正常雌性大鼠快得多,但在甲状腺切除的大鼠中生长则受到很大抑制。通过在饮用水中给予三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3),肿瘤生长呈剂量依赖性增加。该肿瘤同时含有雌激素受体(ER)和T3受体。与对照组相比,给予T3后,细胞核和细胞质中的ER水平升高了2至3倍。给予E2通过提高细胞核ER水平促进MtT/F84的生长。T3可能直接提高细胞ER水平,从而可能增强包括肿瘤生长在内的雌激素作用。
