These results demonstrate not only that Hec50 cells maintain high levels of GPER expression as xenografted tumors, but also that Hec50 cells mimic the levels of GPER expression observed in high grade endometrial tumors, as detected in paraffin-embedded patient samples and xenografted patient tumors, suggesting that primary xenografts of endometrial cancers (even complex tumors with biphasic characteristics) may represent an excellent model to test the therapeutic efficacy of GPER-targeted therapies. Here, GPER1 is linked to endometrium neoplasm.
