PG - 205-17 AB - We analysed the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function and its ability to modulate cell-cell interactions between the PA-III rat prostate cancer and UMR 106 osteoblast-like rat osteosarcoma cells as an in vitro model for studying GR function in PA-III cell-induced tumor and blastic reaction in rat bone. Intact GR was detected by ligand binding assays, DNA band-shift, and GR trans-activation analysis of PA-III and UMR 106 cells transiently transfected with the mouse mammary tumor virus thymidine kinase-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene. Dexamethasone and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFbeta1) inhibited the growth of PA-III and UMR 106 cells. Dexamethasone's inhibition of PA-III and UMR 106 cells was reversed by anti-TGFbeta1 antibody and exogenous insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Exogenous IGF-I, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), UMR 106 conditioned media (CM) and PA-III CM stimulated the proliferation of PA-III and UMR 106 cells. The mitogenic activity exerted by uPA and PA-III CM in UMR 106 cells was completely neutralized by anti-IGF-I specific antibody. In addition, dexamethasone up-regulated TGFbeta1 mRNA and down-regulated uPA mRNA expression in PA-III cells without affecting TGFbeta1 and uPA mRNA expression in UMR 106 cells. These data suggested that TGFbeta1, uPA, and IGF-I mediate at least in part cell-cell interactions and GR function in PA-III prostate cancer and UMR 106 osteosarcoma cells.
