Glucocorticoid receptors in mouse mammary tumors. Specific binding of glucocorticoids in the cytoplasm.
نویسنده
چکیده
Specific binding of glucocorticoids was studied in the cytoplasmic extracts of mouse mammary tumors induced by mammary tumor virus. The binding protein satisfied all the general criteria of hormone receptors namely a specific high affinity for glucocorticoids (4 X 10mg M for dexamethasone) and limited number of binding sites which were saturated with low hormone concentrations (1 X 1OV M). It is suggested that the glucocorticoids may influence mammary tumor growth through the specific glucocorticoid receptors.

Central mineralocorticoid receptors mediate impairing effects of corticosterone on memory retrieval in rats
Introduction: Previous studies have indicated that stress levels of glucocorticoid hormones induce impairment of long term memory retrieval, but the underlying mechanisms (genomic or non-genomic) are not clear. To clarify this issue, we investigated the involvement of brain corticosteroid receptors and protein synthesis in the glucocorticoid-induced impairment of memory retrieval. Methods: 140 ...
متن کاملInactivation of mammary cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors under cell-free conditions.
The conditions for the inactivation of glucocorticoid receptors in the cytosol from lactating mouse mammary glands have been studied in detail. The dexamethasone-binding capacity of cytosol was variable and decreased to near zero levels by 4 h when incubated without steroid at 4°C. This loss of binding activity was partially prevented by binding of the steroid and was readily reversed by sulfhy...

Kinetic and molecular properties of components binding [3H]triamcinolone acetonide were studied using 105,000g supernatants of lactating mammary gland, R3230AC, and dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced mammary tumors of the rat. Using a dextran-coated charcoal adsorption procedure, the relationship between specific glucocorticoid binding and protein concentration was linear in the range of ...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of the glucocorticoid receptor-DNA interaction at the mouse mammary tumor virus glucocorticoid response element.
Purified glucocorticoid receptor (GR) from rat liver was used for a quantitative analysis of the protein-DNA interaction at specific GR-binding segments within the 5'-long terminal repeat of the mouse mammary tumor virus. A truncated receptor was generated and used to demonstrate formation of heterodimeric GR, which furthermore was shown to be in rapid equilibrium with receptor-monomer. The rel...
متن کاملThe modulating effect of glucocorticoids and opioid system on anxiety related behavior in young and adult rats
One of the main components of the stress system is hypothalamus- pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Acute activation of µ-opioid receptors increases the activity of the HPA axis, leading to release of ACTH and corticosterone. Glucocorticoids can change behaviors, depend on age but there were no evidences about the interaction between age, opioid system and glucocorticoids. In this experiment, ...
