2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) inhibits human ovarian cancer cell proliferation
2014
Purpose
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, mediates a broad spectrum of biological processes, including ovarian growth and ovulation. Recently, we found that an endogenous AhR ligand (ITE) can inhibit ovarian cancer proliferation and migration via the AhR. Here, we tested whether 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, an exogenous AhR ligand) may exert similar anti-ovarian cancer activities using human ovarian cancer and non-cancerous human ovarian surface epithelial cells.
