Abstract:
:An estrogen-responsive mouse Leydig cell tumor line (Tumor 124958) has been shown to contain only a low-affinity binder for estradiol in the cytosol fraction. This differed from the putative estrogen receptor in terms of its hormone-binding specificity as well as affinity. In addition, the possibility that an estrogen receptor-like molecule exists in the nuclei even without hormonal stimuli was examined using purified nuclei. Scatchard plot analyses showed that these nuclei possessed a large amount of estrogen binder having a high affinity for estradiol and diethylstilbestrol. The content of this nuclear binding component was not diminished by using molybdate, a potent inhibitor for receptor activation, and in vitro incubation of collagenase-dispersed cells with estradiol did not cause significant increase in the number of nuclear binding sites when compared with the values obtained by direct incubation of isolated nuclei with estradiol. These results support the view that this nuclear estrogen binder is not due to artificial migration of the cytosol receptor into nuclei during homogenization. The characterization of this nuclear binding component under cell-free conditions revealed that its affinity for estradiol in Mg2+-containing buffer was temperature dependent (Kd 3 nM at 30 degrees and 12 nM at 0 degrees) without significant alteration in the number of maximum binding sites. Introduction of a chelating agent (ethylenediaminetetraacetate) into the buffer system abolished the temperature effect on the affinity, resulting in high affinity for estradiol at both low and high temperatures. These Mg2+ and temperature effects were reversible. In addition, when compared with putative nuclear estrogen receptors, this nuclear binding was observed to be relatively resistant to high salt or micrococcal nuclease treatments in relation to solubilization from nuclei. However, trypsin digestion was found to result in a marked decrease in the nuclear binding sites, indicating that this unique nuclear binding component contains a protein unit(s). These results suggest the possibility that this tumor line contains a unique unoccupied nuclear estrogen binder which might be able to transmit estrogen signals to tumor cell nuclei with regard to tumor growth.
