Treatment of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with 10 nM 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) did not decrease prolactin receptor (PRLR) binding. In contrast, PRLR mRNA levels were significantly decreased within 12 h after treatment with TCDD and persisted for up to 48 h. The effects of TCDD on PRLR mRNA levels were inhibited by the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor antagonist alpha-naphthoflavone and were not observed in Ah nonresponsive benzo[alpha]pyrene-resistant MCF-7 cells. These results suggest that the effects of TCDD were mediated through the Ah receptor. After treatment of MCF-7 cells with 10 nM 17 beta-estradiol (E2), there was a 2.3-fold increase in PRLR mRNA levels, and in cells cotreated with E2 plus TCDD, there was a 72% decrease in E2-induced PRLR mRNA levels. Previous studies have showed that TCDD also effects estrogen receptor (ER) binding and mRNA levels through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway; however, the effects of TCDD on PRLR levels and binding in MCF-7 cells were different from those previously observed for ER.

D011981 Receptors, Prolactin Labile proteins on or in prolactin-sensitive cells that bind prolactin initiating the cells' physiological response to that hormone. Mammary casein synthesis is one of the responses. The receptors are also found in placenta, liver, testes, kidneys, ovaries, and other organs and bind and respond to certain other hormones and their analogs and antagonists. This receptor is related to the growth hormone receptor. Prolactin Receptors,PRL Receptors,Prolactin Receptor,Receptors, PRL,Receptor, Prolactin

D001571 Benzoflavones Organic compounds containing a BENZENE ring attached to a flavone group. Some of these are potent arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase inhibitors. They may also inhibit the binding of NUCLEIC ACIDS to BENZOPYRENES and related compounds. The designation includes all isomers; the 7,8-isomer is most frequently encountered.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
