Target data

Function

The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Depending on the isoform, progesterone receptor functions as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Isoform A. Ligand-dependent transdominant repressor of steroid hormone receptor transcriptional activity including repression of its isoform B, MR and ER. Transrepressional activity may involve recruitment of corepressor NCOR2. Isoform B. Transcriptional activator of several progesteron-dependent promoters in a variety of cell types. Involved in activation of SRC-dependent MAPK signaling on hormone stimulation. Isoform 4. Increases mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular respiration upon stimulation by progesterone.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

The progesterone receptor (PR) also known as NR3C3 is a nuclear receptor that functions as a transcription factor in response to the hormone progesterone. This receptor has a mass of approximately 99 kDa and is expressed in tissues such as the reproductive organs including the uterus ovaries and mammary glands. It is also found in non-reproductive tissues like the brain and bone. The receptor has two main isoforms PR-A and PR-B which differ slightly in structure but have unique biological roles.

Biological function summary

The progesterone receptor plays a significant role in regulating gene expression related to reproductive processes. PR is not part of a larger complex by itself but interacts with various coactivators and corepressors to modulate transcription. In the uterus and mammary glands PR mediates the effects of progesterone by promoting cell proliferation and preparing tissues for pregnancy. In other systems PR also links to various metabolic and immunological pathways influencing cell cycle progression and immune response.

Pathways

Progesterone receptor activity is integrated within the reproductive hormone signaling pathways and the Wnt signaling pathway. The receptor interacts directly with key proteins such as estrogen receptor (ER) and steroid receptor coactivator (SRC) complexes which are pivotal in modulating response to hormonal signals. These interactions underline the essential role of PR in maintaining hormonal balance and regulating reproductive functions.

Associated diseases and disorders

The progesterone receptor associates with breast cancer and endometriosis. Aberrant expression or mutations in PR can contribute to the development and progression of breast cancer often linked with the estrogen receptor's influence. In endometriosis PR's altered functionality affects cellular response to progesterone contributing to tissue growth outside the uterus. These conditions also involve interactions with proteins like BRCA1 in breast cancer highlighting how PR connects to broader cellular and pathological networks.

    Overlay histogram showing T47D cells stained with ab267524 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4 % formaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1 % PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were incubated in 1x PBS containing 10 % normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab267524) (1x 106 in 100μl at 0.2 μg/ml (1/2500)) for 30 min at 22°C.

    Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor® 647 (Alexa Fluor® 647 Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab199093) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

    Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 40 mW Red laser (640nm) and 670/14 bandpass filter.

    IHC image of Progesterone Receptor staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human breast*.

    The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) in a Biocare Medical NxGen pressure cooker using retrieval settings of 110°C for 20 minutes. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab267524 at 1/100 dilution (shown in red) and counterstained using Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 488), at 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.
