OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of androgen receptor (AR) isoforms in normal human prostate. METHODS Fourteen normal prostatic specimens from donors, aged 25 on average (21-28 yr), were analyzed by high resolution isoelectric focusing (IEF). The expression of AR isoforms was demonstrated in all 14 normal human prostatic tissues. RESULTS Four types of AR isoforms were detected with isoelectric point value at 6.5, 6.0, 5.8 and 5.3 in 14 prostatic specimens. Binding of 3H-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to these four AR isoforms was inhibited by the addition of 100-fold excess of DHT and testosterone. No effect of progesterone, estradiol and diethylstilbestrol on tritiated hormone binding was observed. CONCLUSIONS There are four AR isoforms in normal human prostate. The expression of AR isoforms is different from one another.

D008297 Male Males
D011467 Prostate A gland in males that surrounds the neck of the URINARY BLADDER and the URETHRA. It secretes a substance that liquefies coagulated semen. It is situated in the pelvic cavity behind the lower part of the PUBIC SYMPHYSIS, above the deep layer of the triangular ligament, and rests upon the RECTUM. Prostates
D011944 Receptors, Androgen Proteins, generally found in the CYTOPLASM, that specifically bind ANDROGENS and mediate their cellular actions. The complex of the androgen and receptor migrates to the CELL NUCLEUS where it induces transcription of specific segments of DNA.
