Squirrel monkeys are among a diverse group of New World primates that demonstrate unusually high levels of circulating corticosteroids and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) insensitivity. Recent evidence suggests that overexpression of an immunophilin impairs dexamethasone binding to GR in the Bolivian squirrel monkey (Saimiri boliviensis). Here we describe the cloning, expression, and functional characterization of GR from the closely related Guyanese squirrel monkey (S. sciureus). The cloned Guyanese squirrel monkey GR (gsmGR) cDNA closely resembles human GR (hGR) cDNA, and yields a high affinity dexamethasone binding receptor when expressed in COS-1 cells. Transactivation analysis of hGR and gsmGR expressed in CV-1 cells and cultured squirrel monkey kidney (SMK) cells indicates that: (1) SMK cells elaborate a functional high activity GR from human GR cDNA; (2) gsmGR is an order of magnitude less efficient than hGR at transactivation in CV-1 and SMK cells; and (3) maximal transactivation by gsmGR is attenuated in both cell lines. Glucocorticoid resistance in S. sciureus is at least partly attributable to a naturally occurring mutation in the GR gene that results in impaired GR transactivation. 相似文献

We have generated several mammalian cell lines that stably express high levels of intact glucocorticoid receptor. These cells were created by cotransfecting a glucocorticoid-dependent dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene into DHFR-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells together with a plasmid directing the expression of human glucocorticoid receptor. Using this approach, transfection frequencies indicate that the inclusion of glucocorticoid receptor cDNA increased the efficiency of DHFR transformation greater than 10-fold over nonreceptor control DNA. When a stably cotransfected line (designated MG/hGR) was subjected to short term growth in cytotoxic concentrations of the antifolate methotrexate, these cells strongly resisted growth inhibition when dexamethasone was present in the medium. This effect was steroid specific and was inhibited by the glucocorticoid antagonist RU38486. In an effort to exploit the methotrexate-induced coamplification properties of the DHFR gene as a means of creating cell lines having increased levels of glucocorticoid receptor, MG/hGR cells were chronically exposed to a relatively low concentration of methotrexate (50 nM). After this treatment a resistant line was isolated (MG/hGR/MTX50) that displayed complete dependence on exogenous glucocorticoid for growth. To investigate the molecular basis for the enhanced ability of MG/hGR/MTX50 cells to resist the cytotoxic effects of methotrexate in the presence of dexamethasone, glucocorticoid receptor protein in these cells was characterized and compared to parental CHO cells and methotrexate sensitive MG/hGR cells. Affinity labeling with [3H]dexamethasone mesylate and Western blot analysis with antiglucocorticoid receptor antiserum revealed that nontransfected CHO cells have virtually undetectable levels of glucocorticoid receptor protein whereas cotransfected MG/hGR cells contain at least 3 times more intact monomeric receptor protein of Mr 94,000. Correspondingly, analysis of receptor protein in MG/hGR/MTX50 cells indicated that these cells contain 8 to 10 times more glucocorticoid receptor than nontransfected CHO cells. Scatchard analysis of steroid binding curves revealed that these increases correspond to 6,600, 22,000 and 63,000 dexamethasone binding sites per cell for nontransfected CHO cells, cotransfected MG/hGR cells, and MG/hGR/MTX50 cells, respectively. Sedimentation profiles of native receptor in transfected and methotrexate-resistant cells further support the progressive increase in receptor content and demonstrate that glucocorticoid receptor exists in cotransfected cels as an oligomeric complex under hypotonic conditions (9S complex in the presence of 20 mM sodium molybdate, 7S in the absence of molybdate), which dissociates to a monomeric 4S species in the presence of 0.4 M KCl. These physicochemical properties are indistinguishable from those observed for the endogenous hamster glucocorticoid receptor and suggest that stably transfected human glucocort 相似文献
