Abstract

PRL has been shown to stimulate mRNA expression of both ERalpha and ERbeta in the rat corpus luteum and decidua of pregnancy. To investigate whether PRL may stimulate ER expression at the level of transcription and which transcription factors may mediate this stimulation, we have cloned the 5'-flanking regions of both rat ER genes. A constitutively active PRL receptor (PRL-R(CA)) stimulated both ERalpha and ERbeta promoter activity, indicating that PRL is acting to stimulate ER transcription. Putative signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat)5 response elements were identified at -189 in the ERalpha promoter and at -330 in the ERbeta promoter. Mutation of these response elements or overexpression of dominant negative Stat5 prevented stimulation of ERalpha and ERbeta promoter activity, indicating that PRL regulation of ER expression requires both intact Stat5 binding sites as well as functional Stat5. Interestingly, either Stat5a or Stat5b could stimulate ERalpha transcription while stimulation of ERbeta occurred only in the presence of Stat5b. Through mutational analysis, a single nucleotide difference between the ERalpha and ERbeta Stat5 response elements was shown to be responsible for the lack of Stat5a-mediated stimulation of ERbeta. These findings indicate that PRL stimulation of ER expression occurs at the level of transcription and that PRL regulation of ERalpha can be mediated by either Stat5a or Stat5b, while regulation of ERbeta appears to be mediated only by Stat5b.
