Biochemical and immunological characterization of estrogen binding components in human neoplastic adrenocortical tissues

Abstract

The estrogen binding components in human adrenocortical tissues were examined. Two adrenocortical cancer cytosols were found to contain the binder with a relative low affinity (Kd 5 X 10(-9) M) for estradiol. The association of [3H]estradiol to these cytosols was inhibited by a large dose of unlabeled estrone, estradiol or estriol, but neither by diethylstilbestrol nor by dihydrotestosterone. Incubation of cultured cells derived from these cancers with [3H]estradiol also showed the presence of this low-affinity estradiol binder. The addition of bovine serum albumin into these cytosols surprisingly resulted in a marked increase in estradiol binding capacity in a concentration-dependent manner. This component sedimented at 5 S in the low salt sucrose density gradient. This binding ability was found to be heat-labile in the absence of estradiol, but preformation of complexes with estradiol markedly stabilized its binding ability against thermal inactivation. In addition, experiments using monoclonal antibodies to human estrogen receptor revealed that the estrogen binder from one adrenocortical cancer cytosol shared antigenic determinants with human estrogen receptor. These results suggest that the unique estrogen binder in some ad...Continue Reading

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex, associated with a generally dismal prognosis owing to its aggressive behavior. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
