Abstract

Interactions between transcription factors are an important means of regulating gene transcription, leading to modifications in the pattern of gene expression and cell fate. In this study, we report that the progesterone receptor (PR) can strongly interfere with transactivation mediated by the arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in T47D breast cancer cells. This interference was not only demonstrated by induction of a transfected dioxin-responsive reporter plasmid but also on the AhR-mediated up-regulation of the endogenous cytochrome P450-1A1 activity. The interference was not mutual, as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), the most potent activator of the AhR, did not inhibit progestin-induced promoter activity. When the isoforms of the human PR, hPR-A and hPR-B, were expressed separately in HepG-2 hepatocarcinoma cells, both negatively interfered with the AhR signaling, indicating that the effect is not restricted to T47D cells. In addition, results obtained from studies with both antiprogestins and mutant receptors indicate differences in the underlying molecular mechanisms of repression for both PR isoforms. The suppression by hPR-A does not require additional gene expression or a full transcriptional competent conformat...Continue Reading
