Abstract:
:The cell line MD-IGF-1, containing an ovine IGF-1 cDNA driven by the mouse mammary tumor virus-long terminal repeat (MMTV-LTR) promoter, was used to study expression of IGF-1 linked to the MMTV-LTR in bovine mammary epithelial cells in response to various hormonal and substratum stimuli. Acute sensitivity of the MMTV-LTR promoter to glucocorticoids and sex steroids was ascertained by transient transfection of parental MAC-T cells with an MMTV-CAT construct. Specifically, CAT activity was induced by glucocorticoids, but not by 17 beta-estradiol or progesterone. Induction of MD-IGF-1 cells with dexamethasone (DEX) alone triggered a 29.5-fold increase in secretion of recombinant IGF-1 (348.9 vs 11.8 pg/micrograms DNA), and stimulated a 1.7-fold increase in total DNA within 72 h. Growth of MD-IGF-1 cells was enhanced by exogenous IGF-1, insulin, and TGF-alpha. In contrast, TGF-beta inhibited cell proliferation, while epidermal growth factor, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone had no effect. Extracellular matrix from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor, in the presence of DEX, prolactin (PRL), and insulin stimulated a 29.4-fold increase in secretion of IGF-1 (591.9 pg/microgram DNA), compared with cells in absence of hormones (20.1 pg/micrograms DNA). EHS and DEX plus PRL triggered a 63.2-fold increase in IGF-1 secretion (689.1 pg/micrograms DNA), compared with MD-IGF-1 cells cultured on plastic (10.9 pg/micrograms DNA), in the absence of hormones. These data indicate that the MMTV-LTR is regulated by both lactogenic hormones and extracellular matrix in MD-IGF-1 cells and that the MMTV-LTR may be a useful regulatory element for targeting expression of foreign proteins in bovine mammary epithelial cells.
