Progesterone receptor expression in the human placenta.
The presence of progesterone receptors (PR) in the human placenta has been demonstrated using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction technique. It was observed that the amount of PR in the human placenta is less during late gestation. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays with nuclear extract isolated from the first trimester and term revealed three complexes when incubated with [3...
متن کاملExpression of progesterone receptor in human keratinocytes.
Despite the various responses of human skin to female sex hormones, cellular and subcellular targets and the mechanisms of action of estrogen and progesterone in human skin are not well understood. The detection of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the skin is of great importance to understand the effect of estrogen and progesterone. In primary cultures of human keratinoc...
متن کاملThe cytoplasmic 60 kDa progesterone receptor isoform predominates in the human amniochorion and placenta at term
BACKGROUND The mechanism that initiates human parturition has been proposed to be 'functional progesterone withdrawal' whereby the 116 kDa B-isoform of the progesterone receptor (PR-B) switches in favour of the 94 kDa A-isoform (PR-A) in reproductive tissues. Recently, other PR isoforms, PR-S, PR-C and PR-M generated from the same gene have been identified and partially characterised. METHODS...

The mechanism that initiates human parturition has been proposed to be functional progesterone withdrawal whereby the 116-kDa B isoform of the progesterone receptor (PR-B) switches in favor of the 94-kDa A isoform (PR-A) in reproductive tissues. Recently other PR isoforms, PR-S, PR-C, and PR-M generated from the same gene have been identified and partially characterized. Using immunohistochemic...
متن کاملExpression of the progesterone receptor and progesterone- metabolising enzymes in the female and male human kidney.
Due to high binding affinity of progesterone to the human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR), progesterone competes with the natural ligand aldosterone. In order to analyse how homeostasis can be maintained by mineralocorticoid function of aldosterone at the MR, especially in the presence of elevated progesterone concentrations during the luteal phase and pregnancy, we investigated protective mec...
