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.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Progesterone Receptor antibody [Alpha PR6] (ab2765)

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) was performed on human uterus tissue. Antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate followed by microwave treatment for 8-15 minutes. Endogenous peroxidases were blocked in 3% H202-methanol for 15 minutes and tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were incubated with ab2765 (1:20) overnight in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed in PBST and detection was performed using a secondary antibody conjugated to HRP. DAB staining buffer was applied and tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting. Images were taken at 40X magnification.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of T47D cells untreated (left) or stimulated with 100nm promegestone for 1 hour (right), labeling Progesterone Receptor with ab2765 (green). The cells were fixed with formalin for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 10 minutes, and blocked with 3% Blocker BSA for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were stained with Anti-Progesterone Receptor antibody [Alpha PR6] - ChIP Grade (ab2765) at a dilution of 1/100 for 1 hour at 37C, and then incubated with a Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody at a dilution of 1/1000 for 30 minutes at room temperature (both panels, green). Nuclei (both panels, blue) were stained with Hoechst 33342 dye.

    Overlay histogram showing T47D cells stained with ab2765 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab2765, 0.5µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2a [ICIGG2A] (Mouse IgG2a, Kappa Monoclonal [B12/8] - Isotype Control ab91361, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
