IN-VITRO STEROIDOGENESIS BY AN UNDIFFERENTIATED EMBRYONAL CELL SARCOMA OF THE OVARY

N. DESHPANDE, V. JENSEN, R. D. BULBROOK and E. BOESEN

Tritiated pregnenolone, 17{alpha}-hydroxypregnenolone, progesterone, 17{alpha}-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone and androstenedione were incubated separately with homogenates from an undifferentiated embryonal cell sarcoma obtained from an 11-yr.-old girl. [3H]Pregnenolone and [3H]17{alpha}-hydroxypregnenolone were converted to [3H]oestradiol-17β in larger proportion than [3H]progesterone and [3H]17{alpha}-hydroxyprogesterone. The steroidogenesis in the sarcoma was very similar to that reported for the theca cells of the human ovarian follicle.
