Glucocorticoid receptor mRNA and protein in fetal rat lung in vivo: modulation by glucocorticoid and androgen.
Pulmonary glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is essential to timely preparation for the onset of breathing air at birth. We have previously used primary culture of late-gestation fetal rat lung cells to demonstrate differential regulation of GR by glucocorticoid depending on cell type. In this study, we hypothesized that the action of glucocorticoid on GR mRNA expression and protein elaboration in lu...
متن کاملConvergence of two repressors through heterodimer formation of androgen receptor and testicular orphan receptor-4: a unique signaling pathway in the steroid receptor superfamily.
The androgen receptor (AR) binds to androgen response elements and regulates target genes via a mechanism involving coregulators. Here we demonstrate that the AR can interact with the testicular orphan receptor-4 (TR4) and function as a repressor to down-regulate the TR4 target genes by preventing the TR4 binding to its target DNA. Interestingly, the heterodimerization of AR and TR4 also allows...
متن کاملFormation of the androgen receptor transcription complex.
Androgen receptor (AR) is required for sexual differentiation and is implicated in the development of prostate cancer. Here we describe distinct functions for cofactor proteins and gene regulatory elements in the assembly of AR-mediated transcription complexes. The formation of an activation complex involves AR, coactivators, and RNA polymerase II recruitment to both the enhancer and promoter, ...
متن کاملThyroid hormone-mediated enhancement of heterodimer formation between thyroid hormone receptor beta and retinoid X receptor.
A subset of nuclear receptors, including those for thyroid hormone (TR), retinoic acid, vitamin D3, and eicosanoids, can form heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) on DNA regulatory elements in the absence of their cognate ligands. In a mammalian two-hybrid assay, we have found that recruitment of a VP16-RXR chimera by a Gal4-TRbeta ligand-binding domain fusion is enhanced up to 50-fo...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid Receptor Confers Resistance to Antiandrogens by Bypassing Androgen Receptor Blockade
The treatment of advanced prostate cancer has been transformed by novel antiandrogen therapies such as enzalutamide. Here, we identify induction of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression as a common feature of drug-resistant tumors in a credentialed preclinical model, a finding also confirmed in patient samples. GR substituted for the androgen receptor (AR) to activate a similar but distinguis...
