Immunocytochemical localization of androgen receptors in human skin using monoclonal antibodies against the androgen receptor.
Androgen receptors were localized in cryostat sections of human skin using monoclonal antibodies to the human androgen receptor. Bound antibodies were detected using biotinylated rabbit anti-rat IgG, peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin, and diaminobenzidine as chromogen. In the neonatal foreskin, antibody to androgen receptor bound to keratinocytes in the epidermis and to fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells in the dermis. Immunohistochemical staining was stronger in nuclei than in cytoplasm. This staining was specific, because there was no significant staining when antibody to the androgen receptor was replaced with IgG from nonimmunized rats or with buffer, or when antibody to androgen receptor was incubated, prior to immunostaining, with a trp E-human androgen-receptor fusion protein used as immunogen. Incubation of androgen receptor antibody with trp E alone did not affect staining. Androgen-receptor antibody also bound to keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells in skin from adult men and women. Skin from the scalp, nose, lip, back, and chest gave positive staining for androgen receptor. Antibody to androgen receptor also bound to the coil and ductal cells of eccrine glands, external root sheath of hair follicles, epithelium in the hair bulb, dermal papilla cells, and sebocytes. There was no significant binding to adipocytes, collagen, or stratum corneum. These results show that androgen receptor is present in cells that are known to be targets for androgens and also in cells in which the biologic effects of androgens are yet to be characterized.T Liang, S Hoyer, R Yu, K Soltani, A L Lorincz, R A Hiipakka, S Liao

Association of the 90-kDa heat shock protein does not affect the ligand-binding ability of androgen receptor.
An N-terminal truncated androgen receptor with putative DNA- and ligand-binding domains (AR438) and that with a ligand-binding domain (AR612) were expressed under control of the T7 promoter in E. coli or translated in vitro with rabbit reticulocyte lysate, and their ligand-binding properties and the interaction with HSP90 were investigated. Bacterially expressed AR438 and AR612 bound a synthetic androgen, [3H]R1881, with apparent dissociation constants of 2.6 +/- 0.2 and 3.1 +/- 0.7 nM, respectively, values which are comparable to those of androgen receptor in target tissues. The recombinant androgen receptors sedimented at the 4-5 S region irrespective of the presence of 10 mM tungstate, indicating that the receptor exists free from HtpG, which is the bacterial homolog of eukaryotic HSP90. The apparent dissociation constant of truncated androgen receptors translated in vitro was 0.1 nM for AR438 and 0.2 nM for AR612. Sedimentation coefficients of in vitro translated molecules were converted from 7-8 S in the presence of tungstate to 3 S in the absence of tungstate. Both AR438 and AR612 translated in vitro were retained by anti-rat HSP90 antibody-protein A Sepharose. Exposure to 0.3 M NaCl in the presence of ligand caused dissociation of AR438 and AR612 from HSP90, and concomitantly, the DNA-cellulose binding ability of AR438 was enhanced. Thus, we conclude that the androgen receptor associates with HSP90 through the ligand-binding domain and that this association prevents the interaction of the androgen receptor with DNA. However, HSP90 seems to have little effect on the ligand-binding characteristics of the androgen receptor.T Nemoto, Y Ohara-Nemoto, M Ota
