In the present study we investigated the effects of retinoic acids (RAs) together with other stimuli known to modulate estradiol production and\/or cell growth on expression of 17HSD type 1 in JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cells and estrogen-responsive T47D breast cancer cells. Treatment of cultured JEG-3 and T47D cells with all-trans-RA and 9-cis-RA increased reductive 17HSD activity and 17HSD type 1 messenger RNA expression severalfold in both cell lines. On the other hand, epidermal growth factor (EGF), Ca ionophore, the protein kinase C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), and cAMP elevated 17HSD type 1 expression only in JEG-3 cells. Correspondingly, the effects of RAs were potentiated by EGF, TPA, and cAMP in JEG-3 cells, whereas no such phenomenon was observed in T47D cells. In JEG-3 cells, simultaneous administration of RAs with TPA and EGF maximally resulted in approximately 40- and 20-fold increases in 17HSD type 1 messenger RNA expression, respectively. The present data indicate that RAs may stimulate estradiol biosynthesis by regulating 17HSD type 1 expression in certain breast cancer and choriocarcinoma cells. The results suggest that interaction of multiple regulatory pathways is involved in maintaining high 17HSD type 1 expression in the placenta. In addition, regulation of 17HSD type 1 expression may be different in trophoblast cells from that in breast epithelial cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/endo.138.3.5008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,8]],"date-time":"2014-01-08T16:08:38Z","timestamp":1389197318000},"page":"898-904","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Retinoic
