Detection of androgen receptor (AR) mRNA by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in human thyroids. 1993
Centro di Studi Biochimici delle Patologie del Genoma, Università degli Studi di Ferrara.
In order to demonstrate that Androgen binding activity in thyroid is caused by the canonic Androgen Receptor (AR), member of steroid receptor family, we studied the presence of AR mRNA in human thyroid tissues and primary cultured cells. Here we report a polymerase chain reaction protocol (RT-PCR) that we have designated to investigate the presence of AR mRNA in human cells. AR cDNA was synthesized and amplified with primers specific for C-terminal sequence of the protein. We demonstrated that AR gene expression i) is present in thyroid samples studied and ii) in a primary culture of follicular adenoma where it seems to be modulated by steroid hormones.
