Several studies have shown the importance of different hormones in the regulation of mammary tissue growth. The use of organ culture techniques has shown tremendous value for the knowledge of cell proliferation in human breast tissue. Therefore, the purpose of these studies was to analyze the length of the cell cycle, DNA-labeling index, mitotic index, and growth fraction under the effects of insulin, hydrocortisone, and 17-beta estradiol in 5-d organ culture. Normal tissues obtained from patients who underwent breast surgery for benign lesions were individually cultured at 37 degrees C (95% air: 5% CO2 in Medium 199). Autoradiographic studies indicated that the hormones shortened the length of cell cycle of normal breast tissue in 5-d organ cultures. From the growth fraction studies we concluded that the hormones may have stimulated the cells to reenter the cell cycle from Go because these values were increased by the hormones used. Estrogen can alter the S phase duration with a consequent increase in the rate of DNA synthesis which may explain the high DNA-labeling index observed in the present studies. |
