Several studies have established that the
prolactin (PRL) gene is expressed not only in lactotrophs and
somatotrophs of the anterior pituitary but, albeit to a lesser extent,
in non-pituitary cells like human thymocytes, decidualized endometrium,
mammary glands during lactation, and some human non-pituitary cell
lines. Despite the requirement in the pituitary for the
pituitary-specific transcription factor Pit-1/GHF-1 for PRL expression,
the expression in non-pituitary cells occurs in the absence of
Pit-1/GHF-1 and can be repressed by glucocorticoids. This prompted us
to investigate the transcription factors in non-pituitary cells which
are involved in controlling expression and glucocorticoid repression of
a previously characterized negative glucocorticoid response element
from the bovine prolactin gene (PRL3 nGRE). Here we have demonstrated
that non-pituitary cells (COS-7 and mouse hepatoma Hepa1c1c7 cells) conferred increased expression via the PRL3 nGRE mainly because of the
binding of the ubiquitously expressed POU-homeodomain-containing octamer transcription factor-1 (Oct-1) to an AT-rich sequence present
in the PRL3 sequence. However, full transcriptional activity required
the binding of a second ubiquitously expressed homeodomain-containing protein, Pbx, previously shown to bind cooperatively with several homeotic selector proteins. The Pbx binding site in the PRL3 nGRE, located just upstream of the Oct-1 binding site, showed a strong sequence similarity with known Pbx binding sites and bound Pbx with an
affinity similar to that of other established Pbx target sequences.
Interestingly, both Oct-1 and Pbx binding to the PRL3 nGRE were found
to be required for glucocorticoid repression. Addition of in
vitro translated glucocorticoid receptor DNA binding domain to
the nuclear extract prevented Oct-1 and Pbx from binding to the PRL
element. The involvement of the homeobox protein Pbx in glucocorticoid
repression via an nGRE identifies a new role for this protein.
