Selective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil down-regulates collagen synthesis in cultured human uterine leiomyoma cells through up-regulating extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer.
BACKGROUND A recent clinical trial demonstrated that selective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil is effective in reducing uterine leiomyoma volume. We investigated the effects of asoprisnil in vitro on the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM)-remodeling enzymes and collagens in cultured leiomyoma and matching normal myometrial cells. METHODS The expression of extracellular ma...
متن کاملProgesterone receptor modulator CDB-2914 induces extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer in cultured human uterine leiomyoma cells.
Effects of progesterone receptor modulator CDB-2914 on the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components were examined in cultured human uterine leiomyoma and myometrial cells. ECM metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMPs) and collagen levels were assessed by Western blot analysis, MMP activity assay and real-time RT-PCR. R...
متن کاملSelective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured human uterine leiomyoma cells.
A recent clinical trial (Chwalisz K, Larsen L, Mattia-Goldberg C, Edmonds A, Elger W, Winkel CA. Fertil Steril 87: 1399-1412, 2007) has demonstrated that the selective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil efficiently causes the shrinkage of uterine leiomyoma. The present study was conducted to examine whether asoprisnil elicits endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis in cultur...
متن کاملA novel selective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil (J867) inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in cultured human uterine leiomyoma cells in the absence of comparable effects on myometrial cells.
CONTEXT Asoprisnil, a selective progesterone (P4) receptor (PR) modulator (SPRM) with mixed P4 agonist/antagonist activities, reduces uterine leiomyoma volume in a dose-dependent manner in the presence of follicular phase estrogen concentrations. The evidence from clinical studies suggests that asoprisnil may directly target the uterine leiomyomata. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS The present study eva...
متن کاملProgesterone receptor modulator CDB-2914 down-regulates vascular endothelial growth factor, adrenomedullin and their receptors and modulates progesterone receptor content in cultured human uterine leiomyoma cells.
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of graded concentrations (10(-8), 10(-7) and 10(-6) M) of progesterone receptor (PR) modulator CDB-2914 on the protein contents of PR, of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), adrenomedullin (ADM) and their receptors in cultured human uterine leiomyoma and matching myometrial cells. METHODS PR-A, PR-B, VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF recep...
