Regulation of progesterone receptor gene expression.
The levels of progesterone receptor (PR) mRNA, PR protein, and [3H]R5020 binding activity were measured in parallel experiments conducted on a T47D subline expressing the estrogen receptor. A significant increase of PR mRNA levels could be detected within 6 h of exposure of the cells to estradiol (10(-8) M). The changes in mRNA, however, did not lead to any variation of PR protein levels of [3H...
متن کاملThe role of extranuclear signaling actions of progesterone receptor in mediating progesterone regulation of gene expression and the cell cycle.
Human progesterone receptor (PR) contains a motif that interacts with the SH3 domain of Src and mediates rapid activation of Src and downstream MAPK (Erk-1/-2) without relying on the transcriptional activity of the receptor. Here we investigated the role and intracellular location of this nontranscriptional activity of PR. Progestin activation of Src/MAPK occurred outside the nucleus with the B...
متن کاملRegulation of progesterone receptor signaling by BRCA1 in mammary cancer
Inherited mutations of the BRCA1 gene (chromosome 17q21), a tumor suppressor, lead to an increased risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and several other hormone-responsive tumor types. Over the last ten years, BRCA1 has been found to play major roles in DNA damage signaling, repair, and cell cycle checkpoints. In addition, unfolding evidence suggests that BRCA1 functions as a co-regulator fo...
متن کاملProgesterone regulation of the progesterone receptor in rat gonadotropes.
For rat pituitary cells, progesterone receptor (PR) protein localizes to gonadotropes and PR messenger RNA is induced by E2 and rapidly but transiently down-regulated by progesterone. Here we quantitatively establish the down-regulatory effect of progesterone on PR protein and evaluate possible mechanisms. Nuclear PR-immunoreactivity (PR-IR) in gonadotropes, identified by dual immunofluorescenc...
متن کاملComparison of Estrogen Receptor and Progesterone Receptor in Ductal Carcinoma and Lobular Carcinoma With Regard to Age Prevalence
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common women’s cancers, and the number of cases is increasing worldwide. Objective: The current study compared invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma with regard to the prevalence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and age prevalence. Methods: T...
