Abstract:
:The biosynthesis of progesterone from [3H]pregnenolone was curvilinear over a 6 h time course in human placenta cytotrophoblasts and in human placenta choriocarcinoma cells (JEG-3 cells). Mass measurements determined independently by radioimmunoassay indicate that the progesterone synthesized by cytotrophoblasts (21.0 +/- 5.20 ng/6 h/mg protein) is substantially higher than that synthesized by the JEG-3 cells (4.48 +/- 0.56 ng/6 h/mg protein). Two tight binding inhibitors of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (2 alpha-cyanoprogesterone I and cyanoketone II), and a potent inhibitor of the microsomal conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone (2 alpha-bromo-5 alpha-androstan-3-one-17 beta-acetate III) were compared as inhibitors of progesterone synthesis in the two cell-types. Compounds I and II were very potent inhibitors yielding IC50 values of between 10 and 20 nM. At higher concentrations (100 nM - 1,000 nM) compound I promoted a complete cessation of progesterone synthesis which could be reversed by washing the cells free of inhibitor. By contrast compound III was ineffectual as an inhibitor yielding an IC50 value greater than 10 microM. This 1,000-fold difference in inhibitory potency suggests that 2 alpha-cyano-substituted steroids display an unusual capacity to inhibit progesterone biosynthesis and secretion in normal and transformed human cells.
