Project description:Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder frequently affecting postmenopausal women. In this study we have investigated expression of the prolactin receptor (PRLr) in a panel of 37 sporadic parathyroid tumours, as well as functionality in vitro in cultured parathyroid tumour cells. High levels of the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR) transcripts were demonstrated in parathyroid tissues as compared to other reference tissues and breast cancer cells. PRLr products of 60/70 kDa were highly expressed in all parathyroid tumours. In addition varying levels of the 80 kDa PRLr isoform, with known proliferative activity, were demonstrated. In parathyroid tumours PRLr immunoreactivity was observed in cytoplasm in all cases and in addition in the plasma membrane (n = 12) or enlarged lysosomes (n = 4). In normal parathyroid rim PRLr was expressed in cytoplasm and granulae. In in vitro studies of short-term cultured human parathyroid tumour cells prolactin stimulation was associated with transcriptional changes in JAK/STAT, RIG-I like receptor and type II interferon signaling pathways as documented by gene expression profiling. Moreover, PRLR gene expression in parathyroid tumors was significantly inversely correlated with plasma total Ca2+ levels. In conclusion, the prolactin receptor was found highly abundant in human parathyroid gland, parathyroid tumours, correlated with patient Ca2+ levels and functionally responsive to physiological levels of prolactin. These findings suggest a role for the prolactin receptor in human parathyroid adenomas. Expression profiling was done in parathyroid adenomas subjected to prolactin treatment in culture. In addition, corresponding paraffin sections were obtained for verification of PRLr expression by immunohistochemistry. 200 mg/L prolactin (recombinant humanM-BM- prolactin, Cat. No. JM-4687-50, MBL Woburn, MA) was added to 1M-CM-^W 10^6 attached parathyroid tumour cells. Cells were harvested using RNAlater (QIAGEN) and homogenized with QIAshredder for RNA extraction after 3 h and 24 h in culture, respectively. Negative controls were collected in parallel with each case at the same time points. RNA was extracted using QIA Cube, and quality assessed with Bioanalyser and Nanodrop. Expression array profiling and data analysis was done at the KI core facility Bioinformatics and Expression Analysis (BEA, Novum, Huddinge) using the Affymetrix platform and the TITAN ST 1.1 array. A total of 16 samples were analysed including 4 parathyroid adenomas cultured for 3 h or 24 h in the presence of prolactin plus control samples cultured in parallel without prolactin.

Project description:Human infants are born to breastfeed. While 50% of lactating persons report struggling to make enough milk, there are no governmentally-approved drugs to enhance lactation1. Here, we engineer a variant of the naturally-occurring driver of lactation, the hormone Prolactin, to increase its serum half-life and produce a viable drug candidate. Our engineered variant,Prolactin-eXtra Long-acting(Prolactin-XL), is comprised of endogenously active human prolactin fused to an engineered human IgG1 Fc domain designed to overcome the unique drug development challenges specific to the lactating person-infant dyad. Our Prolactin-XL has a serum half-life of 70.9h in mice, 2,625-fold longer than endogenously active prolactin alone (70.9h v. 0.027h). We demonstrate that Prolactin-XL increases milk production and restores growth of pups fed by dams with pharmacologically-ablated lactation. We show that Prolactin-XL-enhanced lactation is accompanied by reversible, alveolar cell-driven changes in mammary gland morphology. Prolactin-XL treatment was associated with no identifiable pathology or adverse side effect in the lactating mice or nursing pups. This work establishes long-acting prolactins as a potentially powerful pharmacologic means to combat insufficient lactation. Implications for future research in lactating mammary gland biology and a potential preclinical path for developing Prolactin-XL for use in lactating persons are discussed.

Project description:The exact role of prolactin on breast cancer still remains unclear. Clues supportive or unsurpportive for prolactin to be cancer driver are confusing. To clarify the role of autocrine prolactin of breast cancer cells on cancer development, we construct T47D cells overexpressing prolactin.

Project description:Wilms tumor is the most common kidney cancer in children, and anaplastic Wilms tumor is the most chemoresistant histological subtype. Here we explore how anaplastic Wilms tumor cells evade the common chemotherapeutic drug actinomycin D, which inhibits ribosomal biogenesis. We found that, when ribosomal capacity is limited by actinomycin D treatment, anaplastic Wilms tumor cells preferentially translate proteasome components and upregulate proteasome activity. Accordingly, increased proteasome levels are associated with anaplastic histology and with worse prognosis in Wilms tumor. Lastly, we show that the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib sensitizes cells to actinomycin D treatment both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Fusion of the EWS gene to FLI1 produces a fusion oncoprotein that drives an aberrant gene expression program responsible for the development of Ewing sarcoma. We used a homogenous proximity assay to screen for compounds that disrupt the binding of EWS-FLI1 to its cognate DNA targets. A number of DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents were found to non-specifically disrupt protein binding to DNA. In contrast, actinomycin D was found to preferentially disrupt EWS-FLI1 binding by comparison to p53 binding to their respective cognate DNA targets in vitro. In cell-based assays, low concentrations of actinomycin preferentially blocked EWS-FLI1 binding to chromatin, and disrupted EWS-FLI1-mediated gene expression. Higher concentrations of actinomycin globally repressed transcription. These results demonstrate that actinomycin preferentially disrupts EWS-FLI1 binding to DNA at selected concentrations. Although the window between this preferential effect and global suppression is too narrow to exploit in a therapeutic manner, these results suggest that base-preferences may be exploited to find DNA-binding compounds that preferentially disrupt subclasses of transcription factors.
