Effects of progesterone on protein metabolism in chicken oviduct tissue pretreated with oestrogen.

ABSTRACT: 1. The effect of simultaneous injections of oestrogen benzoate and progesterone (0.5mg/day each) on immature chicken oviduct tissue pretreated with oestrogen benzoate (0.5mg/day) was studied. 2. After 3 days of treatment with both hormones, the weight of the tissue doubles as compared with tissue treated only with oestradiol benzoate. 3. The progesterone-induced weight increase had no effect on total DNA content of the tissue, but greatly increased the protein/DNA and RNA/DNA ratios. 4. Amino acid incorporation in vivo after progesterone treatment was elevated as measured by using 2h pulses of amino acids; this effect could be accounted for by observed alterations in the concentrations of free amino acids in the tissue. 5. With longer pulses of amino acid the specific radioactivity of total protein remained high in tissue treated with progesterone, at times when specific radioactivity of protein in oestrogen-treated animals was diminishing. 6. From a knowledge of the specific radioactivity of labelled amino acids in the free amino acid pool and in newly synthesized protein, the rate of protein synthesis was estimated in differently treated tissues. 7. The results suggest that progesterone treatment does not cause an increase in protein synthesis. It is concluded that the observed accumulation of oviduct protein is achieved via an effect of progesterone on protein catabolism.

Oestrogen and progesterone receptors in chick oviduct chromatin after administration of oestradiol, progesterone or anti-oestrogen.

Project description:Oestrogen-primed and withdrawn chicks were injected with oestradiol benzoate, progesterone, and/or the anti-oestrogens tamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen. Oestrogen receptors were studied in oviduct chromatin solubilized by mild digestion of purified nuclei with micrococcal nuclease. After a single injection of oestradiol benzoate, ultracentrifugation on sucrose gradients of chromatin extracts labelled with [3H]-oestradiol showed two peaks of oestradiol binding sites, sedimenting at 13--14 S and 7--8 S. After repeated injections of oestradiol benzoate, the 13--14 S peak increased more than the 7--8 S peak. After injection of anti-oestrogen alone or together with oestradiol benzoate, no [3H]oestradiol-binding or 4-hydroxy[3H]tamoxifen-binding peaks were detected in the chromatin. Injection of progesterone also produced an increase of the 13--14 S and 7--8 S chromatin oestradiol receptor. Progesterone receptor could only by detected in chromatin early after progesterone administration, and it sedimented in density gradients with the 12 S mononucleosome fraction. Tamoxifen injected together with progesterone gave higher levels of 13--14 S oestrogen binding sites than did progesterone alone. The presence of a 13--14 S peak of oestrogen binding sites in hormonal situations which promote a biological response in the chick oviduct, and the absence of this peak after administration of anti-oestrogens, suggest that this subfraction of chromatin contains elements involved in gene regulation.

Interaction of oestrogen and progesterone receptors with specific subfractions of laying-hen oviduct chromatin.

Project description:Salt (NaCl)-extracted nuclear oestrogen receptor from hen oviduct was incubated with salt-depleted oviduct chromatin and dialysed to low salt. The oestrogen receptor (re)associated with chromatin to form a 13-14S-sedimenting fraction, as found in 'native' chromatin, and saturation of this interaction was obtained for very low receptor concentrations (approx. 0.04 nM). Similarly, purified progesterone receptor from chick oviduct cytosol associated with depleted chromatin to form an 11-12S-sedimenting fraction, as in 'native' chromatin; this interaction tended towards saturation for much higher concentrations of progesterone receptor (approx. 8 nM) than that observed for oestrogen receptor. When the two receptors were incubated with depleted chromatin from hen kidney or erythrocytes, their s values were as for oviduct chromatin. However, no saturation of these interactions was seen, even for high concentrations of receptor. Steroid-hormone receptors can therefore bind in vitro to particular subfractions of non-target-tissue chromatin, but with a much lower affinity than to target-tissue chromatin.

Chicken oviduct-the target tissue for growth hormone action: effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis and on the gene expression of some oviduct-specific proteins.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the in vivo effect of growth hormone (GH) on cell proliferation and apoptosis and on the gene expression of selected proteins in the chicken oviduct before sexual maturity (first oviposition). Ten-week-old Hy-Line Brown chickens were injected three times a week with 200 μg · kg(-1) body weight of recombinant chicken GH (cGH) until 16 weeks of age. Control hens received 0.9 % NaCl with 0.05 % bovine serum albumin as a vehicle. Treatment with cGH increased (P < 0.05) oviduct weight at 16 weeks of age, i.e. 1-2 weeks before onset of egg laying. The highest number of proliferating (determined by proliferating cell nuclear antigen [PCNA] immunocytochemistry) and apoptotic (determined by TUNEL assay) cells in the oviduct was found in the mucosal epithelium, and the lowest in the stroma. Administration of cGH did not increase (P > 0.05) the number of PCNA-positive cells but it decreased (P < 0.01) the number of TUNEL-positive cells, thus increasing the proliferating-to-apoptotic cell ratio in the oviduct. Gene expression (determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction) of apoptosis-related caspase-2 in the magnum and caspase-3 in the magnum and isthmus and their activity (determined by fluorometric assay) in the magnum were attenuated (P < 0.05) in cGH-treated hens. The gene expression of the magnum-specific ovalbumin and the shell-gland-specific ovocalyxins 32 and 36 was increased (P < 0.05) in cGH-treated chickens. In contrast, the expression of Bcl-2 and of caspases 8 and 9 was not affected by cGH in any of the oviductal segments. The results suggest that GH, via the orchestration of apoptosis and expression of some oviduct-specific proteins, participates in the development and activity of the chicken oviduct prior to the onset of egg laying.

Effects of Osthole on Progesterone Secretion in Chicken Preovulatory Follicles Granulosa Cells.

Project description:Osthole (Ost) is an active constituent of Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson which possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. It also has estrogen-like activity and can stimulate corticosterone secretion. The present study was aimed to check the role of Ost on progesterone (P4) secretion in cultured granulosa cells obtained from hen preovulatory follicles. Different concentrations (5, 2.5, and 1.25 µg/mL) of Ost was added to granulosa cells for 6, 12, 18, and 24 h to investigate the level of progesterone secretions using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that progesterone secretion was significantly increased in cells treated with Ost at 2.5 μg/mL. Also, qRT-PCR showed that mRNA expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) was significantly up-regulated by Ost at 2.5 μg/mL concentration. Cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage (P450scc) and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) was significantly up-regulated by Ost. However, no significant differences were observed for the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The protein expression of StAR, P450scc and 3β-HSD were significantly up-regulated by Ost treatment. The concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) in cell lysates showed no change with Ost treatment at 2.5 μg/mL by ELISA. An ROS kit showed non-significant difference in the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In conclusion, Ost treatment at a concentration of 2.5 μg/mL for 24 h had significantly up-regulated P4 secretion by elevating P450scc, 3β-HSD and StAR at both gene and protein level in granulosa cells obtained from hen preovulatory follicles.

Crumbs protein homolog 3 (CRB3) expression is associated with oestrogen and progesterone receptor positivity in breast cancer.

Project description:The crumbs protein homolog 3 (CRB3) regulates the tight junction to help maintain epithelial polarity. Altered CRB3 expression was associated with carcinogenesis of epithelial cells. This study detected CRB3 expression in 192 cases of breast cancer tissues and in the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (Metabric) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets for association with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) phenotypes. The in vitro experiments confirm the ex vivo data. The data showed that levels of both CRB3 mRNA and protein were associated with TNBC phenotypes, ie, 41.1% (39/95) of ER+ breast cancer was CRB3-positive, whereas 26.9% (25/93) ER- tumour was CRB3-positive (P = 0.046). Moreover, 47.6% (30/63) of PR+ breast cancer was CRB3-positive vs 28.4% (33/116) PR- tumours positive for CRB3 (P = 0.013). In addition, 40.1% (27/66) of ER+/PR+ tumour was CRB3-positive, but only 22.4% (19/85) of TNBC showed CRB3 expression (P = 0.048). Indeed, levels of CRB3 mRNA were higher in non-TNBC than TNBC in both Metabric (P = 3.682e-10) and TCGA datasets (P = 2.501e-07). The in vitro data showed that CRB3 expression was higher in luminal (MCF7 and T47D) than in HER2 (MDA-MB-453 and SK-BR-3) and basal (MDA-MB-231 and BT-549) breast cancer cell lines. More interestingly, ER? regulated expression of CRB3 protein in MCF7 and BT-549 cells and ER? expression was associated with CRB3 expression in breast cancer tissues specimens. This study demonstrated that ER? could be a novel regulator for CRB3 expression in breast cancer.

Activation function 1 of progesterone receptor is required for progesterone antagonism of oestrogen action in the uterus.

Project description:BackgroundProgesterone receptor (PGR) is a master regulator of uterine function through antagonistic and synergistic interplays with oestrogen receptors. PGR action is primarily mediated by activation functions AF1 and AF2, but their physiological significance is unknown.ResultsWe report the first study of AF1 function in mice. The AF1 mutant mice are infertile with impaired implantation and decidualization. This is associated with a delay in the cessation of epithelial proliferation and in the initiation of stromal proliferation at preimplantation. Despite tissue selective effect on PGR target genes, AF1 mutations caused global loss of the antioestrogenic activity of progesterone in both pregnant and ovariectomized models. Importantly, the study provides evidence that PGR can exert an antioestrogenic effect by genomic inhibition of Esr1 and Greb1 expression. ChIP-Seq data mining reveals intermingled PGR and ESR1 binding on Esr1 and Greb1 gene enhancers. Chromatin conformation analysis shows reduced interactions in these genes' loci in the mutant, coinciding with their upregulations.ConclusionAF1 mediates genomic inhibition of ESR1 action globally whilst it also has tissue-selective effect on PGR target genes.

Characterization of microbial communities in the chicken oviduct and the origin of chicken embryo gut microbiota.

Project description:The transferred microbiota from mother to baby constitutes the initial infant gastrointestinal microbiota and has an important influence on the development and health of infants in human. However, the reproductive tract microbiota of avian species and its inheritance have rarely been studied. We aimed to characterize the microbial community in the chicken reproductive tract and determine the origin of the chicken embryo gut microbiota. Microbiota in four different portions of chicken oviduct were determined using 16S rRNA metagenomic approach with the IonTorrent platform. Additionally, we analyzed the mother hen's magnum and cloaca, descendent egg, and embryo gut microbiota. The microbial composition and relative abundance of bacterial genera were stable throughout the entire chicken reproductive tract, without significant differences between the different parts of the oviduct. The chicken reproductive tract showed a relatively high abundance of Lactobacillus species. The number of bacterial species in the chicken reproductive tract significantly increased following sexual maturation. Core genera analysis detected 21 of common genera in the maternal magnum and cloaca, descendent egg shell, egg white, and embryo gut. Some elements of the maternal oviduct microbiota appear to be transferred to the embryo through the egg white and constitute most of the embryo gut bacterial population.

The effects of oestrogens and progesterone on oestrogen receptors in female rat liver.

Project description:The administration of oestradiol-17 beta or ethynyloestradiol as well as the synthetic progestogen norethisterone acetate resulted in translocation of the oestrogen receptor. Progesterone and the synthetic progestogen (+)-norgestrel were ineffective. The increases in nuclear oestrogen receptor content 1 h after injection of each steroid were similar but different subsequently. The increase with oestradiol-17 beta extended for 3--6 h and for at least 9 h with ethynyloestradiol. With norethisterone acetate, nuclear content was still increased after 24 h. Oestrogen injection resulted in cytosol receptor depletion and a 'deficit' in receptor content extending for 6 h, whereas norethisterone acetate-induced translocation was quantitative. With injections of norethisterone acetate + ethynyloestradiol the increase at 1 h and retention of the nuclear receptors were similar to that with norethisterone acetate alone. In contrast, the depletion of cytosol receptor and its restoration were similar to that seen with ethynyloestradiol alone, suggesting that norethisterone acetate did not interfere with the oestrogen receptor replenishment. Specific binding in vitro of [3H]oestradiol-17 beta in liver cytosols was inhibited by (+)-norgestrel and norethisterone acetate, but not progesterone, at concentrations of 10--100 microM. Nuclear receptors present after norethisterone acetate injection bound oestrogen with high affinity (Kd = 1.52 nM), similar to receptors of oestrogen-injected animals. In the uterus, differential retention of nuclear receptors in response to oestrogens is associated with different cellular responses. The differences in the response of the receptor system in liver to the various steroids suggests that the corresponding tissue responses may also be dissimilar. These results are discussed in relation to the problems of liver dysfunction in oral-contraceptive users.

The structural biology of oestrogen metabolism.

Project description:Many enzymes catalyse reactions that have an oestrogen as a substrate and/or a product. The reactions catalysed include aromatisation, oxidation, reduction, sulfonation, desulfonation, hydroxylation and methoxylation. The enzymes that catalyse these reactions must all recognise and bind oestrogen but, despite this, they have diverse structures. This review looks at each of these enzymes in turn, describing the structure and discussing the mechanism of the catalysed reaction. Since oestrogen has a role in many disease states inhibition of the enzymes of oestrogen metabolism may have an impact on the state or progression of the disease and inhibitors of these enzymes are briefly discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'CSR 2013'.
