Human prolactin receptor (hPRLR) expression is regulated by estradiol-17β (E2) in vivo in animal tissues, and in vitro in normal human endometrial cells and in MCF7 human breast cancer cells. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of E2on the expression of two recently described hPRLR isoforms with distinct exons-1, hE13and hE1N1that are transcribed from the generic hPIII promoter, also present in the rat and mouse, and the human-specific promoter hPN1, respectively. Also, to determine the effect of estradiol on the hPIII promoter activity in cancer cells. T47D breast cancer cells were examined using quantitative competitive RT-PCR for the level of expression of two alternative non-coding exon-1 transcripts, hE13and hE1N1following incubation with E2in presence or absence of the E2receptor antagonist ICI 182,780. The effects of estradiol were also evaluated in cells transiently transfected with constructs of hPIII promoter luciferase reporter gene. E2significantly increased the expression of both hPRLR mRNA transcripts, hE13and hE1N1. In transfection studies E2activated the hPIII promoter. This effect of estradiol was markedly inhibited by coincubation with the E2receptor antagonist. Our results demonstrate a stimulatory effect of estradiol on the expression of hPRLR mRNA species with alternative exons-1, hE13and hE1N1possibly through activation of their corresponding promoters. The lack of a formal ERE in these promoters suggested that the effect of estradiol is mediated through association of the activated ER with relevant DNA binding transfactor(s). These findings support the role of E2in the regulation of hPRLR expression in human breast cancer cell lines.
