A pituitary hormone, prolactin (PRL) shows various effects on cellular metabolism in amphibians, such as stimulation of larval tissue growth and inhibition of metamorphic changes. All these effects are mediated by its cell surface receptor. However, lack of information on PRL receptor (PRL-R) gene expression has made the physiological importance of the PRL/PRL-R system obscure in amphibian metamorphosis. Hence, a Xenopus PRL-R cDNA was cloned, its structure was characterized, and specific binding of PRL to Xenopus PRL-R expressed in COS-7 cells was confirmed. In adult tissues, high level expression was found in the lung, heart, brain, thymus and skin, and low level in the oviduct, kidney and spinal cord. The developmental expression pattern showed that PRL-R messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) was expressed in the brain and tail from premetamorphosis and the level increased toward late metamorphosis, suggesting that PRL may inhibit the metamorphic changes in those organs. The level of brain PRL-R mRNA reached a peak just at the start of the metamorphic climax stages and then decreased, whereas in the tail, mRNA expression peaked at late metamorphosis. In the kidney, mRNA expression increased and reached a maximum level at the end of metamorphosis. The results obtained were discussed in relation to metamorphosis. 相似文献

Breast cancer, a hormone-dependent tumour, generally includes four molecular subtypes (luminal A, luminal B, HER2 enriched and triple-negative) based on oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2. Multiple hormones in the body regulate the development of breast cancer. Endocrine therapy is one of the primary treatments for hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, but endocrine resistance is the primary clinical cause of treatment failure. Prolactin (PRL) is a protein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, mainly promoting mammary gland growth, stimulating and maintaining lactation. Previous studies suggest that high PRL levels can increase the risk of invasive breast cancer in women. The expression levels of PRL and PRLR in breast cancer cells and breast cancer tissues are elevated in most ER+ and ER− tumours. PRL activates downstream signalling pathways and affects endocrine therapy resistance by combining with prolactin receptor (PRLR). In this review, we illustrated and summarized the correlations between endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer and PRL, as well as the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical practices. The study on PRL and its receptor would help explore reversing endocrine therapy-resistance for breast cancer. 相似文献

The seasonal acclimatization of the carp fish demands physiological compensatory responses. The process involves profound nucleolar adjustments and remarkable changes in rRNA synthesis, which affect ribosomal biogenesis. We have documented that protein kinase CK2, whose activity is related to ribosomal protein L41 and the regulation of rRNA synthesis, was expressed in notably higher amounts in summer-acclimatized carp compared to the cold-season adapted fish. Thus, we approached the study of the functional genomics of carp L41 protein. We report the first cloning of a fish L41 gene encoding the highly conserved 25 amino acids, including approximately 1700 bp regulatory upstream region and the 3(') polyadenylation signal, plus the isolation and characterization of two different L41 cDNAs. We found a clear differential expression of L41, which follows the same pattern as protein kinase CK2beta that transcribes at higher levels in the summer-acclimatized carp than it does in the winter-adapted fish. 相似文献

Adiponectin is a hormone secreted from adipose tissue, and serum levels are decreased with obesity and insulin resistance. Because prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) can affect insulin sensitivity, we investigated the effects of these hormones on the regulation of adiponectin in human adipose tissue in vitro and in rodents in vivo. Adiponectin secretion was significantly suppressed by PRL and GH in in vitro cultured human adipose tissue. Furthermore, PRL increased adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) mRNA expression and GH decreased AdipoR2 expression in the cultured human adipose tissue. In transgenic mice expressing GH, and female mice expressing PRL, serum levels of adiponectin were decreased. In contrast, GH receptor deficient mice had elevated adiponectin levels, while PRL receptor deficient mice were unaffected. In conclusion, we demonstrate gene expression of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 in human adipose tissue for the first time, and show that these are differentially regulated by PRL and GH. Both PRL and GH reduced adiponectin secretion in human adipose tissue in vitro and in mice in vivo. Decreased serum adiponectin levels have been associated with insulin resistance, and our data in human tissue and in transgenic mice suggest a role for adiponectin in PRL and GH induced insulin resistance. 相似文献

The prolactin receptor is a membrane protein mainly involved in the development of the mammary gland and in lactation in mammals. We used specific cDNA constructs and the insect/baculovirus expression system and produced independently and in large amounts several recombinant forms of the rabbit mammary gland prolactin receptor: the full-length receptor (L1, L2), a truncated membrane form (S), a secretable form of the extracellular domain (E) and two forms of the intracellular domain (I1, I2). Of these forms, the L1 and L2 are associated with the membrane fraction, the E is predominantly secreted into the medium and the I1 and I2 are expressed as soluble proteins and surprisingly, a great portion accumulates in the culture medium. The molecular mass (94 kDa) of the expressed full-length receptor corresponds to the translation product of the entire cDNA coding region. The receptor biochemically identified in the rabbit mammary gland is however much shorter. Thus, in the mammary gland, the receptor presumably undergoes post-translational modifications. The receptor forms L1, L2 and S bind prolactin with specificity and affinity similar to those reported for the native receptor. They also interact with two monoclonal antibodies, M110 and A917, specific for the native conformation of the hormone-binding site. The I1 and I2 forms do not bind prolactin, whereas the E form does. Thus, the hormone binding site is located in the extracellular domain which can function autonomously as a PRL-binding soluble protein. However, the E form binds prolactin with a higher affinity than the native receptor and it does not bind one of the two antireceptor monoclonal antibodies, known to be hormone binding-site specific. Thus, the conformation of the native receptor and that of the E form differ. 相似文献

The presence of prolactin receptor and peculiarities of its isoform expression in bile duct cells (cholangiocytes) differentially
isolated from rat liver under different conditions were investigated in the present study. Normal cholangiocytes express prolactin
receptor at relatively low level comparable to those of some prolactin-dependent tissues. Long receptor isoform is predominant
in cholangiocytes but not in hepatocytes. The prolactin receptor level increases significantly under obstructive cholestasis
due to evaluation of long and appearance of short isoforms. In rat cholangiocytes, unlike other tissues, the main positive
regulators of prolactin receptor expression are cholestasis-induced factors instead of sex hormone and prolactin levels. Long
isoform is predominant and induced primarily by cholestasis-induced factors.

Recombinant prolactin (PRL) from water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) has been cloned and expressed in a prokaryotic expression system. The hormone was also successfully refolded into a biologically active form. Total RNA was purified from buffalo pituitaries and the buPRL cDNA was synthesized using primers designed on bovine PRL sequence. This prolactin cDNA was cloned in a pET 28a vector and expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3)pLysS. Most of the expressed protein was present as insoluble inclusion bodies. The inclusion bodies were solubilized and buPRL was purified by Ni-NTA column. The purified protein was refolded by gradually decreasing the concentration of denaturant during dialysis. Total yield of the refolded and soluble prolactin was 22 mg/L from 100 mL bacterial culture in LB medium. The recombinant prolactin was as active as native prolactin in stimulating growth of Nb2 lymphoma cells. 相似文献

Somatolactin (SL), a member of the growth hormone/prolactin family, is a pituitary hormone unique to fish models. Although SL is known to have diverse functions in fish, the mechanisms regulating its secretion and synthesis have not been fully characterized. Using grass carp pituitary cells as a model, here we examined the role of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) in SL regulation at the pituitary level. As a first step, the antisera for the two SL isoforms expressed in the carp pituitary, SLα and SLβ, were produced, and their specificity was confirmed by antiserum preabsorption and immunohistochemical staining in the carp pituitary. Western blot using these antisera revealed that grass carp SLα and SLβ could be N-linked glycosylated and their basal secretion and cell content in carp pituitary cells could be elevated by IGF-I and -II treatment. These stimulatory effects occurred with parallel rises in SLα and SLβ mRNA levels, and these SL gene expression responses were not mimicked by insulin but blocked by IGF-I receptor inactivation. In carp pituitary cells, IGF-I and -II could induce rapid phosphorylation of IGF-I receptor, MEK1/2, ERK1/2, MKK3/6, and p38 MAPK; and SLα and SLβ secretion, protein production, and mRNA expression caused by IGF-I and -II stimulation were negated by inactivating MEK1/2 and p38 MAPK. Parallel inhibition of PI3K and Akt, however, were not effective in these regards. These results, taken together, provide evidence that IGF can upregulate SL secretion and synthesis at the pituitary level via stimulation of MAPK- but not PI3K/Akt-dependent pathways. 相似文献
