Cytosol glucocorticoid receptor in the neoplastic epithelial duct cell line from human salivary gland (HSG).
Neoplastic epithelial duct cell line from human salivary gland (HSG cell) contained cytosol glucocorticoid receptor. Scatchard analysis of cytosol indicated that the dissociation constant (Kd) was 5.6-6.5 nmol/l and the number of binding sites was 83-92 fmol/mg protein. A competitive assay showed that the binding sites for [3H]triamcinolone acetonide were specific to glucocorticoid. Glycerol density gradient centrifugation displayed that the [3H]triamcinolone acetonide receptor complexes sedimented in the 8.5 S region under low salt conditions and in the 4.2 S region under high salt condition (0.4 M KCl). The same high salt conditions induced an increased binding of [3H]triamcinolone acetonide complexes for DNA-cellulose.
