High impact information on LOC443444

 

Biological context of LOC443444

  • In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analyses indicated that ER gene expression increased first in the epithelium at 12 h and then in the stroma by 48 h, whereas PR gene expression first increased in the stroma and then in the epithelium [4].
  • Collectively, results suggest that uterine ER and PR gene expression is regulated in a tissue- and cell type-specific manner during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy [5].
  • For example, PR mRNA up-regulation was prolonged in middle and deep endometrial stroma, but increases in PR protein expression were highest in superficial and middle endometrial compartments, including the luminal epithelium [6].
  • Results indicate that roIFN-tau did not stabilize or prevent autologous down-regulation of PR mRNA or protein expression in the endometrium [7].
  • To determine effects of day and pregnancy status (cyclic or pregnant) on uterine estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) gene expression, ewes were hysterectomized either on Day 1 (Day 0 = estrus/mating), 6, 11, 13, or 15 of the estrous cycle (n = 3/day) or on Day 11, 13, 15, 17, or 25 of early pregnancy (n = 5/day) [5].

Associations of LOC443444 with chemical compounds

  • However, binding of progesterone-receptor to chromatin was greater than that of oestradiol-receptor [9].
  • RU486, but not an antagonist of PR (Organon 31710), prevented this suppression [10].
  • Thus, the efficacy of RU486 in blocking the suppressive effect of cortisol is attributed to antagonism of GR, not PR [10].
  • In the endometrium, the most striking observation was that PR mRNA and protein expression disappeared from the luminal and shallow glandular epithelium between Days 6 and 13 of the estrous cycle, whereas ER mRNA and protein expression was low on Days 6 and 11 and increased between Days 11 and 15 in the luminal and shallow glandular epithelium [5].
  • However, the increase in PR mRNA and protein was not as great in the endometrium of roIFN-tau-treated ewes as compared to controls (p < 0.08, treatment x steroid) [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LOC443444

  • Immunohistochemistry indicated that E2 increased nuclear ER and PR protein levels in both IM and OM [16].
  • Here, we used explant cultures from control and E2-treated ewes and assessed expression of four genes (ER, PR, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase [GAPDH], and cyclophilin [CYC] genes) that are upregulated by E2 in vivo on Northern blots [17].
  • The ER, PR and ERalpha mRNA concentrations were measured using binding and solution hybridisation assays, while the hormone level concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay [18].
  • We studied the effects of different endocrine milieus (late-follicular and luteal phases of the oestrous cycle, and ovariectomy before or after puberty) on the expression of IGF-I, thioredoxin, oestrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and progesterone receptor (PR) in sheep [19].
