G-protein coupled receptor improves 17β-Estradiol induced proliferation of human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma FRO cells
effect of G-protein coupled receptor (GPER) on 17β-Estradiol (E2) induced proliferation of human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma FRO cells. Methods FRO cells were treated with different concentration (0,10
-10
,10
-9
and 10
-8
mol/L) of E2 for different time periods (0,12 and 24 h)
and cell growth was evaluated by MTT assay. After the cells were treated by 10
-8
mol/L E2 for different time periods (0
12 and 24 h)
cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. RNA interference against GPER (GPER-RNAi) was designed and synthesized
then transfected to FRO cells. The levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2
phosphorylated Akt and GPER were analyzed by Western blot analysis. Results Treatment with different concentration (0

-10
10

and 10

mol/L) of E2 for different times (0
12 and 24 h)
the cell growth rates were increased in dose- and time-dependent manners. When FRO cells were treated with 10
-8
mol/L E2 for 24 h
the cell growth rate was (16.5±2.1) %. After the cells were treated with 10
-8
mol/L E2 for different times (0
12 and 24 h)
the percentages of S/G

/M phase were increased in a time-dependent manner. E2-induced accumulation of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and phosphorylated Akt in FRO cells reached peak at 15 min and 10 min respectively after E2 treatment. The expression of GPER was reduced significantly when GPER-siRNA was transfected to FRO cells for 48 h. Pretreatment with PD98059 (30 μmol/L)
LY294002 (50 μmol/L) and GPER-siRNA obliterated the inductive effects of E2 on ERK1/2 phosphorylation and Akt phosphorylation at 15 min and 10 min respectively in FRO cells. Meanwhile pretreatment with PD98059
LY294002 and GPER-siRNA obliterated the inductive effects of E2 on cell growth. and the growth rates were reduced to (11.2±1.3)%
(9.6±1.5)% and (7.2±1.3)% respectively compared with those of E2-treated cells [(16.5±2.1)%
