Since numerous studies indicate that 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) as a metabolite of 17beta estradiol (17ß-E(2)) may exert antitumor activity by unclear mechanism, we undertake the study to elucidate the effect of 2-ME on oval cells (OC) activated by a carcinogenic choline deficient ethionine supplemented diet (CDE diet). Isolated OC were treated with different concentrations of 2-ME for 24, 48 and 72 hours. In these periods of time phenotypic studies, apoptosis detection and proliferative activity of cells were performed. A marked inhibition of OC proliferation was observed at the presence of 1.0 µM of 2-ME, with the lowest value obtained after 48 h. However, at the end of the cells' incubation, maximally reduced proliferative response of OC was attributed to 2.0 µM of 2-ME. Simultaneously with the time of incubation the amount of Thy-1-positive cells decreased slightly from 50.5±1.4% to 31.5±3.6%. Contrary to 1.0 and 2.0 µM of 2-ME, its lowest value (0.5 µM) reduced Thy-1 positive cells after 48 hours. The same 2-ME concentration resulted in the elevation of the cell number expressing CK-19. In turn, the marked increase of albumine-positive cells was observed under 1.0 µM of 2-ME and reaching 21.5±6.2 % and 23.9±5.7% after 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Although the presence of 1.0 µM of 2-ME dramatically intensified apoptosis within 24 h of cell culture, the percentage of apoptotic cells remained unchanged under 2.0 µM of 2-ME. When subjected to the carcinogenic effect of CDE, 2-ME exerts anti-proliferative, proapoptotic, and differentiation effects in OC.
