Steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) family members interact with steroid receptors, including estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and progesterone receptor (PR), to enhance ligand-dependent transcription. However, the expression of ERalpha and SRC-1 was found to be segregated in distinct subsets of cells within the epithelium of the estrogen-responsive rat mammary gland. This finding was in contrast to the finding for the stroma, where significant numbers of cells coexpressed ERalpha and SRC-1. Treatment of animals with estrogen induced PR expression in the ERalpha-expressing mammary epithelial cells in the absence of detectable SRC-1 and did not affect the segregated pattern of SRC-1 and ERalpha expression. PR was neither expressed nor induced by estrogen treatment in stroma, despite the coexpression of ERalpha and SRC-1. These results suggest that SRC-1 is not necessary for ERalpha-mediated induction of PR in mammary epithelial cells and is also not sufficient for PR induction in stromal cells expressing both ERalpha and SRC-1. Furthermore, the expression of SRC-1 in a subpopulation of mammary epithelial cells distinct from those expressing ERalpha or PR raises the possibility that SRC-1 has cell type-specific functions other than simply to act as coactivator for ERalpha or PR in the mammary epithelium.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
