Properties of a progesterone receptor present in the cytosol (105,000 xg supernatant) of dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumors were studied using the highly potent progestin [3H]R 5020 (17, 21-dimethyl-19-nor-pregna-4, 9-diene-3,20-dione). As shown by sucrose gradient analysis, specific binding of [3H] R 5020 is associated with components migrating at 7-8S and 4S. Low affinity binding of the synthetic progestin is eliminated by treatment with dextran-coated charcoal. [3H] R 5020 binding is highly progestin-specific since it is easily displaced by unlabelled norgestrel, R 5020 and progesterone while estradiol-17beta, dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, testosterone and diethylstilbestrol have much lower activity. Dexamethasone and cortisol have little, if any, effect on [3H] R 5020 binding. 相似文献

Saturation protocols were developed for measurement of unoccupied (R) and steroid-occupied (RA) androgen binding components of human hyperplastic prostate. The concentration of unoccupied cytoplasmic binding sites (2 hr incubation at 2 degrees C) for the synthetic androgen R1881 (17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-estra-4,9,11-trien-3-one) and the synthetic progestin R5020 (17alpha,21-dimethyl-19-norpregna-4,9-diene-3,20-dione) respectively was 10.7 +/- 1.4 and 14.3 +/- 3.2 fmoles per mg cytosol protein and the apparent steroid affinity respectively was 9.6 +/- 0.8 and 1.6 +/- 0.4 x 10(8) M-1. Steroid specificity of the unoccupied cytoplasmic R1881 and R5020 binding sites was similar. When R1881 and R5020 were employed as probes of total, R plus RA, cytoplasmic binding components (20-24 hr incubation at 15 degrees C) saturable binding of R5020 was not detectable. Total cytoplasmic R1881 binding site concentration and apparent affinity for R1881 were 51.7 +/- 3.3 fmoles per mg cytosol protein and 2.7 +/- 0.6 x 10(7) M-1. R5020 was a poor inhibitor of R1881 binding to total cytoplasmic R1881 binding components. 相似文献

Methyltrienolone (R 1881 - 17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-estra-4, 9, 11-trien-3-one) binding to rat ventral prostate cytosol has a specificity typical of an androgen receptor. In human benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) tissue, the specificity of [3H] R 1881 binding is different from that measured in rat prostate: progesterone and R 5020 (17, 21-dimethyl-19-nor-4, 9-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione) being more potent while 19-nortestosterone is less potent competitor. Moreover, the synthetic progestin [3H] R 5020 binds to BPH tissue with a similar specificity. These data suggest the presence of progestin binding components or of an atypical androgen receptor in human BPH cytosol. 相似文献

A synthetic progestin, R5020, was used to identify cytoplasmic progestin receptors in the hypothalamuspreoptic area (HPOA) of ovariectomized mice. These high-affinity receptors exhibited an apparent dissociation constant of approx. 1 nM. The receptors were specific for progestins. [3H]R5020 binding was inhibited by more than 50% with a 50-fold excess of either radioinert R5020 or progesterone. 5 alpha-Dihydroprogesterone inhibited binding to a lesser extent. 3 alpha-Hydroxy-5 alpha-pregnane-20-one and cortisol did not compete for [3H]R5020 binding. Administration of estradiol benzoate (10 micrograms), 48 h prior to death, resulted in a 54% increase in the HPOA progestin receptor concentration when compared to oil-injected controls. These data demonstrate that there are specific and saturable cytoplasmic progestin receptors in the mouse HPOA and that the concentration of these receptors is increased after estrogen treatment. 相似文献

We have used the technique of density labeling of proteins by biosynthetic incorporation of 2H, 13C, 15N (dense) amino acids to study the synthesis and degradation rates of the progesterone receptor in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. In cells grown in the absence of progestin, sucrose gradient shift analyses reveal that it takes 17 h for the normal density progesterone receptor levels to be reduced to half the initial value, whereas in the presence of 10 nM of the synthetic progestin [3H]R5020, the receptor turns over more rapidly, such that the normal density R5020-occupied progesterone receptor complexes are reduced to half in 12 h. The accelerated progesterone receptor turnover in the presence of [3H]R5020 reflects increased turnover rates of both the A (Mr-85,000) and B (Mr-115,000) subunits, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel analyses of dense and light receptors photoaffinity labeled with [3H]R5020. In both control and progestin-exposed cells, the time course of progesterone receptor turnover shows a lag of approximately 6 h after dense (15N, 13C, 2H) amino acid exposure, before dense hormone binding receptor species are seen and before normal density progestin binding activity starts decreasing. Since our evaluations of progesterone receptor depend upon its binding of radiolabeled ligand ([3H]R5020), this lag in the density shift kinetics would be consistent with the presence of a non-hormone binding biosynthetic precursor, from which the hormone-binding form of progesterone receptor is derived. A kinetic model is used to analyze the lag-decay profiles and to determine the rate constants for progesterone receptor synthesis, activation to the hormone-binding form, and degradation. 相似文献

The mycotoxins, aflatoxin B(1), aflatoxin M(1), aflatoxicol and zearalenone were tested for binding to bovine endometrial estrogen and progestin receptors. Radioinert estradiol-17beta, estrone, testosterone, and cholesterol were evaluated for binding to the estrogen receptor. Zearalenone and aflatoxicol but not aflatoxins B(1) and M(1) competed with estradiol-17beta for the estrogen receptor. The order of binding affinities for the estrogen receptor were zearalenone > estradiol-17beta > estrone > aflatoxicol. The affinity of zearalenone for the estrogen receptor was 2-3 times that of estradiol-17beta. Progesterone, cortisol, radioinert R 5020, and cholesterol were evaluated for binding to the progestin receptor. None of the tested compounds except R 5020 and progesterone competed for the progestin receptor. The significance of aflatoxicol binding to the estrogen receptor is unclear. It is proposed that aflatoxicol binding to the receptor may alter gene expression in target tissues or act at the level of the hypothalamus to inhibit gonadotropin secretion and ovulation. These effects could explain reports of reduced fertility in domestic animals following ingestion of aflatoxin contaminated feedstuffs. It is also suggested that the mechanism of adverse effects on fertility of chronic aflatoxin ingestion in cattle and other livestock should be more thoroughly investigated. 相似文献

It was possible, using a synthetic progestin R5020, to identify a specific progesterone cytosol receptor in six human renal adenocarcinoma. The receptor has a low capacity but a high affinity, with a dissociation constant ranging between 0.13 and 3.72 × 10−9M. Comparison between the results of quantitative experiments obtained with d-Norgestrel and R5020 is reported. 相似文献

Regulation of uterine progesterone receptors by the nonsteroidal anti-androgen hydroxyflutamide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have recently reported that the anti-androgen hydroxyflutamide causes delayed implantation and exhibits antideciduogenic activity in the rat. The present experiments were conducted to examine whether hydroxyflutamide binds to the uterine progesterone receptors and/or alters the progesterone binding sites in the uterus. Cytosol and nuclear fractions from decidualized rat uterus were incubated with [3H]-R5020 without or with increasing concentrations of radioinert R5020, RU486, dihydrotestosterone, or hydroxyflutamide. From the log-dose inhibition curves, the relative binding affinity of both hydroxyflutamide and dihydrotestosterone was less than 0.1% and 2%, compared with R5020 (100%) for displacing [3H]-R5020 bound to uterine cytosol and nuclear fractions, respectively. Injection of estradiol-17 beta (1 microgram/rat) to ovariectomized prepubertal rats induced a 1.85-fold increase in uterine weight by 24 h. Hydroxyflutamide at 2.5 or 5.0 mg did not significantly alter the estrogen-induced increase in uterine weight. Compared to vehicle alone, estrogen induced an approximately 5-fold increase in uterine cytosolic progesterone binding sites. Hydroxyflutamide at both 2.5- and 5.0-mg doses significantly attenuated the estrogen-induced elevation in uterine progesterone binding sites. These studies demonstrate that hydroxyflutamide does not bind with high affinity to progesterone receptors, but suppresses the estrogen-induced elevation in progesterone receptor levels in the uterus. 相似文献

We have identified a specific progesterone receptor in 11 of 33 human breast cancer cytosols. Since progesterone itself binds to glucocorticoid receptor, to corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG), and to nonspecific components as well as to its own receptor, we have used a synthetic progestin, R5020 (17,21-dimethyl-19-nor-4,9-pregnadiene-3,20-dione), whose binding specificity is restricted to progesterone receptor. Bound R5020 sediments at 8 S in sucrose gradients; binding is competed by excess unlabeled R5020 or progesterone. The receptor is distinct from glucocorticoid receptor and CBG as determined by competition studies using dexamethasone and hydrocortisone. The dissociation constant for R5020 obtained by Scatchard analysis of dextran-coated charcoal assays is approximately 2 times 10- minus 9 M. 相似文献

Transformation of the rabbit uterine progesterone receptor following binding to several synthetic steroids was studied. Cytosolic receptors were prepared with and without 10 mM sodium molybdate. Following incubation with the 3H-ligands the cytosols were chromatographed on phosphocellulose minicolumns. The rank order of the compounds to promote transformation in the absence of molybdate was: medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) greater than 17 alpha, 21-dimethyl-19-nor-4,9-pregnadiene-3,20-dione (R5020) greater than progesterone much greater than deoxycorticosterone (DOC) much greater than 20 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (20 alpha OH-P). The rank order was the same in the presence of molybdate, but the amount of transformation was reduced by 35-90%. Molybdate inhibited transformation to a greater extent when the receptor was bound to progesterone, DOC and 20 alpha OH-P than when bound to MPA or R5020. The antiprogestin, 11 beta-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-17 beta-hydroxy-17-(1-propynyl)-4,9-estradiene-3-one (RU38486, synthesized by The Upjohn Company and designated U-66990), promoted approximately twice as much receptor transformation as did progesterone. MPA, R5020 and U-66990 all dissociated from the progesterone receptor much more slowly than did progesterone. In all cases dissociation was faster in the presence of molybdate than in its absence. These data demonstrate that potent progestins (MPA and R5020) promote a greater amount of receptor transformation than does progesterone, and that steroids with little progestin bioactivity (DOC and 20 alpha OH-P) promote very little transformation. In addition, the antiprogestin activity of U-66990 cannot be attributed to a lack of progesterone receptor transformation nor to a rapid rate of dissociation from the receptor. 相似文献

Diethylpyrocarbonate, a histidine selective reagent, inhibits progestin binding to chick oviduct cytosol 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this report we describe experiments showing that diethylpyrocarbonate, a histidine selective reagent, inhibits progestin binding to the chick oviduct progesterone receptor. Because this inhibition is reversed by hydroxylamine, we suggest that the chick oviduct progesterone receptor contains one or more histidine residues that regulate progestin binding. We also find that the progestin R5020 protects the progesterone receptor from diethylpyrocarbonate mediated inhibition of progestin binding. From this we infer that the progestin binding site contains a histidine residue(s) important for progesterone binding to its receptor in chick oviduct. 相似文献

17 alpha-Acetoxy-6-fluoro-16-methylene-(9 beta, 10 alpha)pregna-4,6-dien- 3,20-dione (DU41165), a retroprogestin (9 beta, 10 alpha) embodying a fluorine-substituted dienone system, has been prepared in high specific activity tritium-labeled form (4 Ci/mmol) and shown to be a high affinity ligand for the progesterone receptor (PgR) and a highly selective photoaffinity labeling reagent for PgR. The radiosynthesis involved conversion of DU41231 (the 17 alpha-hydroxy analog of DU41165) to DU41165 by treatment with tritium-labeled acetic anhydride. The binding affinity of DU41165 for PgR was determined by both a competitive binding assay and a direct binding assay (Scatchard analysis) to be 1.6-2.2-times higher than that of the high affinity synthetic progestin promegestone (R5020). In unlabeled form, DU41165 demonstrates photoinactivation of PgR to the extent of 60% at 60 min. In radiolabeled form [3H]DU41165 demonstrates specific covalent attachment with an efficiency of 5-7%. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of photoattached [3H]DU41165 confirms that there is covalent labeling of both the B subunit (Mr = 118,000), and the A subunit (Mr = 88,000) of PgR in a molar ratio of approximately 1:3. 相似文献

Binding of [3H]R5020 (17,21-dimethyl-19-nor-4,9-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione) to bovine mammary cytosol indicated the presence of progestin binding sites of high-affinity and low-capacity in tissue from prepartum, nonlactating and from postpartum, lactating cows. To prevent binding of [3H]R5020 to glucocorticoid binding sites, a 200-fold molar excess of nonradioactive cortisol was included during all incubations, thus specific binding was limited to progestin binding sites. Nonradioactive R5020 and progesterone effectively inhibited [3H]R5020 binding to progestin binding sites, while estradiol-17β, dihydrotestosterone (17β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one), dexamethasone (9-fluoro-11β, 17, 21-trihydroxy-16α-methyl-1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione) or additional cortisol were ineffective. Dissociation constants for specifically bound [3H]R5020 in cytosol from mammary tissue of nonlactating and lactating cows were nearly identical, averaging 1.9 ( ± 0.3) and 0.8( ± 0.2) × 10?9M, respectively. However, binding capacities (fmol/mg cytosolic protein) were greater in cytosol from prepartum, nonlactating (179 ± 53) than postpartum, lactating (41 ± 15) cows. Specific binding components in cytosol from lactating cows sedimented in the 6-7S region on linear sucrose density gradients. When subjected to isoelectric focusing, specific binders with isoelectric points (pI) of approximately 6.1, 7.9 and 8.3 were resolved. The decrease in number of binding sites during lactation was due to the virtual absence of the anionic binding species, suggesting that their presence is necessary for progesterone to inhibit milk secretion. 相似文献

The use of a highly active progestin, 17, 21-dimethyl-19-nor-4, 9-pregnadiene-3, 20-dione (R 5020), as a tag has established that progesterone binds to a specific “7–8S” uterus cytosol component in both the immature mouse and rat. 相似文献

Characterization of R5020 and RU486 binding to progesterone receptor from calf uterus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have examined and compared the binding characteristics of the progesterone agonist R5020 [promegestone, 17,21-dimethylpregna-4,9(10)-diene-3,20-dione] and the progesterone antagonist RU486 [mifepristone, 17 beta-hydroxy-11 beta-[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl]-17 alpha-(prop-1-ynyl)-estra-4,9-dien-3-one] in calf uterine cytosol. Both steroids bound cytosol macromolecule(s) with high affinity, exhibiting Kd values of 5.6 and 3.6 nM for R5020 and RU486 binding, respectively. The binding of the steroids to the macromolecule(s) was rapid at 4 degrees C, showing saturation of binding sites at 1-2 h for [3H]progesterone and 2-4 h for both [3H]R5020 and [3H]RU486. Addition of molybdate and glycerol to cytosol increased the extent of [3H]R5020 binding. The extent of [3H]RU486 binding remained unchanged in the presence of molybdate, whereas glycerol had an inhibitory effect. Molybdate alone or in combination with glycerol stabilized the [3H]R5020- and [3H]RU486-receptor complexes at 37 degrees C. Although the rate of association of [3H]RU486 with the cytosolic macromolecule was slower than that of [3H]R5020, its dissociation from the ligand-macromolecule complex was significantly slower than [3H]R5020. Competitive steroid binding analysis revealed that [3H]progesterone, [3H]R5020, and [3H]RU486 compete for the same site(s) in the uterine cytosol, suggesting that all three bind to the progesterone receptor (PR). Sedimentation rate analysis showed that both steroids were bound to a molecule that sediments in the 8S region. The 8S [3H]R5020 and [3H]RU486 peaks were abolished by excess radioinert progesterone, RU486, or R5020.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The specific binding of the synthetic progestin, 17α-methyl [3H]promegestone (R5020), to the cytosol of human benign hyperplastic prostate has been studied in sucrose density gradients using a vertical tube rotor. The eytosol of human prostate was shown to contain substantial amounts of a 7–8S macromolecule with a high affinity (Kd = 0.5–1 nM) for R5020 which is saturated at low concentrations (10 nM). The conventional technique of sucrose density gradient analysis in a swinging bucket rotor was not suitable for reproducible optimal analysis of a 7–8S high affinity complex. The use of the salt, Na2MoO4, had a stabilizing effect on the complex. Comparison of saturation analysis assays using dextran charcoal assay and vertical tube rotor assay showed that the charcoal assay can give an over-estimation of the 7–8S saturable binding. Progestational steroids competed with R5020 for binding to 7–8S, whereas androgenic steroids, with the exception of 19-nor-testosterone, did not compete.Incubation of cytosol at elevated temperatures in the presence of DNA-cellulose resulted in the binding of the hormone-protein complex to DNA-cellulose. High ionic strength buffer was required to extract the complex which sedimented at 4.5S in sucrose gradients prepared in 0.4 M KCl. Based on the data presented, progestin binding in human prostate is clearly similar in physical chemical properties to progesterone receptors in “classical” target tissues. However, rapid sucrose gradient analysis with a vertical tube rotor is preferred over conventional techniques to evaluate progestin receptor binding in human prostate. 相似文献

Specific, estrogen-inducible, nuclear radioactivity uptake has been demonstrated in the uterus, pituitary and hypothalamus of immature female rats after injection of a highly potent labelled progestin, R 5020 (17, 21-dimethyl-19-nor-pregna-4, 9-diene-3, 20-dione). A cytoplasmic progestin “receptor” has been characterized in these target tissues by an in vitro Dextran-coated charcoal adsorption method. R 5020 binds with the same intrinsic dissociation constant to the receptor present in these tissues ; it dissociates at the same rate from the uterine and pituitary receptor (k?1 = 1×10?2min?1), but about 6 times slower than progesterone. This evidence, together with the similar hormone specificity in the uterus and pituitary, suggests that the progestin “receptor” is a similar entity in central and peripheral target tissues. 相似文献

In the present investigation the influence of androgens and progestins on the FSH modulation of progesterone biosynthesis was studied in cultured rat granulosa cells. Cells obtained from the ovaries of immature estrogen treated rats were cultured for three days in serum free medium or in medium supplemented with FSH or CPA, with or without reduced androgen DHT or the synthetic progestin R5020 alone or in combination with the anti-androgen CPA. Treatment with FSH increased pregnenolone, progesterone and 20 alpha-OHP accumulation in the culture medium 20-, 14- and 7-fold, respectively. Furthermore FSH increased the activity of the enzyme 3 beta-HSD. Concurrent treatment with DHT or R5020 augmented the FSH stimulated steroidogenesis of cultured cells. The androgen enhancement of FSH stimulated steroidogenesis of cultured granulosa cells was blocked by concomitant treatment with CPA, whereas treatment of cultures with anti-androgen did not affect the stimulatory effect of the synthetic progestin R5020. 相似文献

The effect of progesterone on the differentiation of the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was investigated and compared with other sex steroids (estradiol and testosterone), with cortisol, with the synthetic progestin R5020 and with the progestin/glucocorticoid antagonist RU38486. At 10−8 M, progesterone stimulated the activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and triglyceride deposition. Progesterone, R5020, cortisol, and RU38486 increased triglycerides about 2-fold at 10−7 M. Only minimal effects were observed with testosterone and estradiol even at 10−6 M. When the cells were cultured in presence of 10−5 M metyrapone the effect of progesterone was unchanged, suggesting that the progesterone was not metabolized to a glucocorticoid. Progesterone, R5020 and RU38486 competed efficiently with [3H]dexamethasone for the glucocorticoid receptor in 3T3-L1 cytosol. These results indicate a significant, reproducible dose-dependent effect of progestins on differentiation of the preadipocytes, which appears to be mediated via the glucocorticoid receptor. 相似文献

During the periovulatory interval, intrafollicular progesterone (P) prevents follicular atresia and promotes ovulation. Whether P influences oocyte quality or maturation and follicle rupture independent of the midcycle gonadotropin surge was examined. Rhesus monkeys underwent controlled ovarian stimulation with recombinant human gonadotropins followed by a) experiment 1: an ovulatory bolus of hCG alone or with a steroid synthesis inhibitor (trilostane, TRL), or TRL + the progestin R5020; or b) no hCG, but rather sesame oil (vehicle), R5020, or dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In experiment 1, the majority of oocytes remained immature (65% +/- 20%) by 12 h post-hCG. However, the percentage of degenerating oocytes increased (P < 0.05) with TRL (42% +/- 22% vs. 0% controls), but was reduced (P < 0.05) by progestin replacement (15% +/- 7%). By 36 h post-hCG, the majority of oocytes in all three groups reached metaphase II (MI). In experiment 2, no evidence of follicle rupture was observed in the vehicle, R5020, or DHT groups. Despite the absence of hCG, a significant (P < 0.05) percentage of oocytes resumed meiosis to metaphase I in R5020- (41 +/- 9) and DHT- (36 +/- 15) but not vehicle- (4 +/- 4) treated animals. Only oocytes from R5020-treated animals continued meiosis in vivo to MII. More (P < 0.05) oocytes fertilized in vitro with R5020 (40%) than with vehicle (20%) or DHT (22%). Thus, P is unable to elicit ovulation in the absence of an ovulatory gonadotropin surge; however, P and/or androgens may prevent oocyte atresia and promote oocyte nuclear maturation in primate follicles. 相似文献
