| Abstract | Tumours secrete several pro-angiogenic factors, among which vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGF-R) are the most extensively studied but not in ovarian cancer cells. The study was designed to investigate the effect of bisphenol A (BPA) (environmental oestrogen) and of 17β-estradiol (E2) (endogenous estrogen) on the gene (real-time PCR) and protein (Western blotting) expression of VEGF-R2 and VEGF-A in human non-cancer (HOSEpiC) and ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3). In addition, VEGF-A levels were measured in culture supernatants using a colorimetric assay. Cells were exposed to BPA (1, 40 and 100 nM) or 17β-estradiol (0.1, 10 and 40 nM) for 3 to 48 h. Since differential expression levels of basal oestrogen receptor (ERα and ERβ) between non-cancer and cancer cell lines may affect the response to oestrogens, receptor expression was measured both at the gene and protein levels. Basal ERβ expression was similar in all cell lines, and ERα expression was significantly higher in the SKOV-3 cell line. Basal VEGF-R2 expression was higher in cancer than non-cancer cell lines, and in contrast, VEGF-A expression was significantly lower in both SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 cancer cell lines. Exposure of non-cancer cells to BPA and E2 was associated with a significant increase in VEGF-R2 expression but had no effect on VEGF-A expression or secretion. In contrast, exposure of cancer cells to BPA, but not E2, increased VEGF-R2 and VEGF-A expression and secretion. In conclusion, (1) BPA and E2 regulated VEGF-R2 and VEGF-A expression differently in non-cancer and cancer cells, and (2) BPA has a direct stimulatory effect on VEGF-R2 and VEGF-A expression in both, while E2 appears to be uninvolved in the regulation of VEGF-R2 and VEGF-A expression in cancer cells.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
