Using pharmacological means we investigated the functional interactions between the estrogen receptor (ER)-, protein kinase A (PKA)-, and mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated pathways in the regulation of lactotroph proliferation in primary culture. Treatment of lactotrophs for 28h with the PKA inhibitor H89 or KT5720, an effective inhibitor of forskolin-induced proliferation, inhibited both insulin- and estradiol-induced proliferation. Inhibition of the MAPK activity by PD98059 or U0126 suppressed not only insulin-induced proliferation but also forskolin- and estradiol-induced proliferation. However, treatment for 28h with the antiestrogens 4-hydroxy tamoxifen and ICI182780 failed to antagonize estradiol-induced lactotroph proliferation but instead enhanced it. Prolonging the antiestrogen treatment time from 28 to 88h was effective in antagonizing estradiol-induced proliferation with this long-term treatment also inhibiting insulin- and forskolin-induced proliferation. There was no decrease in these mitogen-induced proliferations following treatment with a progesterone antagonist or protein kinase C inhibitor. These results suggest that cross-talk occurs between the ER-, PKA-, and MAPK-mediated signaling pathways in the regulation of lactotroph proliferation, and that antiestrogens stimulate and inhibit estradiol-induced proliferation in a time-dependent manner.
