Separation and characterization of receptor-translocation inhibitors from AH 130 tumor cells.
The objective of this investigation was to study the relationship between glucocorticoid resistance and macromolecular receptor-translocation inhibitors ( MTIs ). MTIs in various cytoplasmic preparations are known to inhibit the "activated" receptor-steroid complex association with isolated nuclei, chromatin, or DNA. It was found that the MTI in the cytosol of AH 130 tumor cells (glucocorticoid resistant cells) appeared to be about 5 times more inhibitory than crude MTI from rat liver. Another difference between these MTI preparations was that ATP decreased the inhibition by crude MTI from rat liver, but had little effect on that of MTI from the tumor cells. Both preparations gave three fractions of material with inhibitory activity on DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The first fraction (Peak I), eluted with about 0.1 M NaCl, was the largest fraction separated from the tumor cytosol, but a minor fraction of that from liver. In the presence of 5 mM ATP, Peak I from rat liver enhanced nuclear binding, but that from the tumor did not, suggesting that these fractions were qualitatively different. The other two fractions (Peak II and Peak III), eluted with about 0.2 M and 0.3 M NaCl, respectively, were comparable in the two preparations.
