The effect of progesterone on the localization of progesterone receptors in the nuclei of chick oviduct cells
Abstract
The location of occupied and unoccupied progesterone receptors (PR) in chick oviduct cells was studied by immuno-electron microscopy with the use of a highly specific polyclonal anti-PR antibody and pre-embedding modifications of the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase- (PAP-) or immunogold-silver methods. Both methods revealed a nuclear localization of the PRs. The location of the PR in the nucleus was studied in detail by means of the immunogold-silver method. The most intense labelling for unoccupied PRs was in the condensed chromatin. After occupation of PRs with progesterone (P), decondensation or dispersion of chromatin was observed. At the same time, the labelling in the border area of condensed and dispersed chromatin, and in the dispersed chromatin, increased. The changes were statistically significant. The results can be explained by conformational changes of the PR-containing chromatin rather than by translocation of PRs from one site to another.
