Progestin regulation of cellular proliferation.
Abstract
THE control of cellular proliferation is known to involve a delicate balance between the effects of different regulatory molecules including hormones and growth factors which provide, in the immediate environment of the cell, signals to stimulate or inhibit cellular replication (1). The past decade has seen significant progress in the identification and characterization of novel regulatory molecules, generally referred to as growth factors, and definition of their molecular mechanisms of action (2, 3). With the recent emphasis on peptide growth factors it is perhaps less well appreciated that some of the largest physiological changes (both positive and negative) in rates of growth and cell proliferation are mediated by steroid hormones. Recent studies on breast cancer cells (4) and immature rat uterus (5, 6), illustrating estrogenic control of autocrine and paracrine growth factor production, support the view that some of these steroid-induced responses are intimately linked to growth factor-mediated pathways although debate continues as to whether the growth factor response is the cause, or the consequence, of the estrogenic effect on cellular proliferation (7, 8). Generally speaking, the molecular mechanisms by which steroid hormones control proliferation are not well defined, with the most developed knowledge being in the area of estrogen action where a number of recent reviews are available (4, 9–11).

“Some of the functions influenced by progesterone include the stimulation of glycogenesis (79, 80), cyclic nucleotide metabolism (8), protein synthesis and secretion (8), and cell cycle regulation (5), although the molecular mechanisms of these effects of progesterone are not known.”

“Ovarian hormones stimulate cell proliferation in several female tissues (Clarke and Sutherland, 1990), in particular in the mammary gland, where estrogens and progesterone increase alveolar formation and ductal branching, and are required for full lobulo-alveolar development (Warner et al., 1978).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
