Effects of androgen receptor treatment on the expression of the Mafb gene in foreskin fibroblasts
Objective:To explore the effects of dihydrotestosterone(DHT) and flutamide(Flu) on the gene expression of Mafb. Methods:Primarily cultured normal foreskin fibroblasts from children were treated with different concentrations of DHT and Flu,and then were tested for the transcription and expression of Mafb using RT-PCR,cellular immunofluorescence,and Western blot. Results:After treatment with DHT at concentrations of 3.0×10-8 mol/L and 3.0×10-6 mol/L,the mRNA expression of Mafb was significantly up-regulated in the DHT 3.0×10-6 mol/L group(0.594±0.045 vs. 0.444±0.007,P=0.005),but not significantly up-regulated in the DHT 3.0×10-8 mol/L group(0.372±0.003 vs. 0.444±0.007,P=0.145),as compared with that in the normal group. After treatment with 15 μmol/L Flu,the mRNA expression of Mafb was significantly reduced compared with that in the normal group(0.221±0.013,P=0.000). Cellular immunofluorescence assay showed that the expression of Mafb was significantly up-regulated in the DHT 3.0×10-8 mol/L group and the DHT 3.0×10-6 mol/L group(0.046±0.004 and 0.076±0.003,respectively,P=0.010 and 0.000,respectively),but significantly down-regulated in the Flu group(0.006±0.002,P=0.009),as compared with that in the normal control group(0.027±0.006). Similarly,Western blot results showed that the protein expression of Mafb was not significantly up-regulated in the DHT 3.0×10-8 mol/L group(0.146±0.001,P=0.960),but was significantly up-regulated in the DHT 3.0×10-6 mol/L group(0.598±0.087,P=0.000),while the expression was significantly down-regulated in the Flu group(0.066±0.002,P=0.040),as compared with that in the control group(0.163±0.001). Conclusion:In the foreskin fibroblasts cultured in vitro,the gene expression of Mafb is regulated by DHT and Flu. Mafb,as a downstream regulatory protein of androgen receptor,may be an important mechanism in the androgen receptor signaling pathway to promote urinary tract development.
