The PR-A and PR-B isoforms of progesterone
receptors (PR) have different physiological functions, and their ratio
varies widely in breast cancers. To determine whether the two PR
regulate different genes, we used human breast cancer cell lines
engineered to express one or the other isoform. Cells were treated with
progesterone in triplicate, time-separated experiments, allowing
statistical analyses of microarray gene expression data. Of 94 progesterone-regulated genes, 65 are uniquely regulated by PR-B, 4 uniquely by PR-A, and only 25 by both. Almost half the genes encode
proteins that are membrane-bound or involved in membrane-initiated
signaling. We also find an important set of progesterone-regulated
genes involved in mammary gland development and/or implicated in breast cancer. This first, large scale study of PR gene regulation has important implications for the measurement of PR in breast cancers and
for the many clinical uses of synthetic progestins. It suggests that it
is important to distinguish between the two isoforms in breast cancers
and that isoform-specific genes can be used to screen for ligands that
selectively modulate the activity of PR-A or PR-B. Additionally, use of
natural target genes, rather than "consensus" response elements,
for transcription studies should improve our understanding of steroid
hormone action.
