The effect of progestins on intracellular corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) mRNA expression in an endometrial cancer cell line (Ishikawa) was examined in an attempt to understand the biological effects of high-dose progestins in the treatment of well-differentiated uterine endometrial cancers. Oestradiol-17β (E2) significantly increased CBG mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner, while a high dose of progesterone with or without E2 suppressed it significantly. Furthermore, a high dose of progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) suppressed CBG mRNA expression to a greater degree than did chlormadinone acetate or 17 α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate with or without E2. These findings suggest that the effects of high-dose progestins on cancer cells may be mediated via suppression of intracellular CBG.

Sulforaphane exerts anti-cancer activity against multiple cancer types. Our objective was to evaluate utility of sulforaphane for endometrial cancer therapy. Sulforaphane reduced viability of endometrial cancer cell lines in association with the G2/M cell cycle arrest and cell division cycle protein 2 (Cdc2) phosphorylation, and intrinsic apoptosis. Inhibition of anchorage-independent growth, invasion, and migration of the cell lines was associated with sulforaphane-induced alterations in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers of increased E-cadherin and decreased N-cadherin and vimentin expression. Proteomic analysis identified alterations in AKT, mTOR, and ERK kinases in the networks of sulforaphane effects in the Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell line. Western blots confirmed sulforaphane inhibition of AKT, mTOR, and induction of ERK with alterations in downstream signaling. AKT and mTOR inhibitors reduced endometrial cancer cell line viability and prevented further reduction by sulforaphane. Accumulation of nuclear phosphorylated ERK was associated with reduced sensitivity to the ERK inhibitor and its interference with sulforaphane activity. Sulforaphane induced apoptosis-associated growth inhibition of Ishikawa xenograft tumors to a greater extent than paclitaxel, with no evidence of toxicity. These results verify sulforaphane’s potential as a non-toxic treatment candidate for endometrial cancer and identify AKT, mTOR, and ERK kinases in the mechanism of action with interference in the mechanism by nuclear phosphorylated ERK.
