Proposed mechanism of E2-stimulated epithelial proliferation in the uterus. Based on mitogenic response of ER-negative UtE to E2 when associated with ER-positive UtS and the ability of the anti-estrogen ICI 182,780 to antagonize this effect, mitogenic effects of E2 on epithelial proliferation appear to be mediated through stromal ER.
