Abstract

Purpose

The mechanisms underlying the effects of estrogen on endometrial cancer remain undefined. Although the classical mechanism of the action of estrogen involves binding to the estrogen receptors α and β, and transduction of the signal into the cell, G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 30 has been shown to mediate nongenomic estrogen signaling. The goal of this study was to determine the role of GPR30 signal in the basic process such as invasion and carcinogenesis of endometrial cancer.

Methods

We downregulated the expression of GPR30 in endometrial cancer cell line RL95-2 by transfection with shGPR30-pGFP-V-RS, a GPR30 antisense expression vector. The cells were then subjected to an MTT assay and a Transwell® migration assay. And an animal model was also used to investigate the influence of downregulation of GPR30 on oncogenesis.

Results

Downregulation of GPR30 led to reduced growth and invasion by cells treated with 17β-estradiol. And the capacity of transfected RL95-2 cells to promote tumorigenesis was weakened in vivo.

Conclusions

Our data suggest that, for the endometrial cancer cell line RL95-2, GPR30 plays important roles in mediating the proliferative and invasive effects of estrogen and in tumorigenesis.
