Abstract(summary):

Although specific binding sites for LH-releasing hormone (LHRH) and its analogs have been demonstrated in biopsy samples of human endometrial cancer, their biological significance remains obscure. In this study we evaluated whether binding sites for LHRH are also present in the human endometrial cancer cell Lines HEC-1A and Ishikawa and if such sites could mediate antiproliferative effects of LHRH analogs. Using [I-125,D-Trp(6)]LHRH as a ligand, a high affinity/low capacity binding site was detected in both lines: HEC-1A line, dissociation constant (K-d)(1) = 5.7 X 10(-9) mol/L, binding capacity (B-max)(1) = 78 fmol/10(6) cells; Ishikawa line, K-d1 = 4.2 X 10(-9) mol/L, B-max1 = 29 fmol/10(6) cells. In addition, a second class of low affinity/high capacity binding sites for LHRH was demonstrated (HEC-1A line, K-d2 = 1.4 x 10(-6) mol/L, B-max2 = 21 pmol/10(6) cells; Ishikawa, K-d2 = 4 X 10(-6) mol/L, B-max2 = 32 pmol/10(6) cells). In the presence of 10(-5) mol/L agonist [D-Trp(6)]LHRH (triptorelin), the proliferation of HEC-1A and Ishikawa cell lines was significantly reduced to 76+/-2% and 88+/-4% of controls, respectively, after 24 h and to 64+/-2% and 62+/-2%, respectively, after 6 days. Dose-response experiments showed that lower concentrations (10(-9) mol/L) of the agonist decreased the proliferation to 80+/-1% for the HEC-1A line and 71+/-2% of controls for the Ishikawa line after 6 days. Antiproliferative effects are enhanced by increasing the doses of triptorelin and were maximal in this series of experiments at 10(-5) mol/L, the proliferation in the HEC-1A line being 62+/-1% and in the Ishikawa line 52+/-2% of controls, respectively. Similar time- and dose-dependent antiproliferative effects were obtained in both cell lines with the LHRH antagonist SB-75 (cetrorelix). These data suggest that LHRH analogs can directly inhibit the proliferation of human endometrial cancer cells in vitro. This direct action could be mediated through the high affinity LHRH binding sites.
