- The ~fthetic oes~rog~n diethylsti~boestrol (DES) causes a dose-dependent elevation of the cytoplasuuc Ca concentratton m C6 rat ghoma cells. This Ca2+ rise is caused neither by Ca2+ influx nor ~-r release from the ~a2 + stores of the endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore it seems likely that DES mob!hzes Ca2+ from a nutochondrial source. The DES-induced Ca2+ signal is remarkably similar to the one mduced by the. tumou~ promotor ~hapsigargin. As this compound causes leakage of calcium from the endoplasmt~ rettculum tt ~ms posstble that DES induces aThe ~fthetic oes~rog~n diethylsti~boestrol (DES) causes a dose-dependent elevation of the cytoplasuuc Ca concentratton m C6 rat ghoma cells.

It remaans to be estabhshed whether the DES-mediated rise in intracellular calcium is causally related to the tumour-promoting properties of this compound…
