Ascorbic Acid Uptaken by Sodium-Dependent Vitamin C Transporter 2 Induces ?hCG Expression through Sp1 and TFAP2A Transcription Factors in Human Choriocarcinoma Cells.
This study caught my eye because if the Beard/Kelly/Gonazlez theory of cancer is correct, then aggressive cancers are essentially "undifferentiated" placentas.
Ascorbic Acid Uptaken by Sodium-Dependent Vitamin C Transporter 2 Induces ?hCG Expression through Sp1 and TFAP2A Transcription Factors in Human Choriocarcinoma Cells.
Conclusions:The present study revealed the novel effects of AA on polypeptide hormone, ?hCG, production and the potential mechanisms governing AA-induced ?hCG expression, suggesting the potentially indispensable roles of AA in placental endocrine and pregnant maintenance.
