In the present study, we investigated the potential 0027 occurrence of such cross-talk in the murine, gonadotropic alpha T3-I 0028 cell line, which expresses ER alpha and the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR). 0029 Under estrogen-free conditions, basal cell proliferation and 0030 ER-mediated gene transcription was strongly inhibited by the selective 0031 estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OH-Tam) and 0032 by the pure anti-estrogen ICI 182,780 (ICI). These effects can be 0033 reversed by either 17-beta-estradiol (E-2) or insulin-like growth 0034 factor I (IGF-1), both exerting modest mitogenic effects in the alpha 0035 T3-1 cell line. Furthermore, IGF-I enhanced both basal and E-2-induced 0036 ER-driven gene transcription. This may be explained, at least in part, 0037 by enhanced phosphorylation of ER alpha atserine 118, a prerequisite 0038 for the transactivation capacity of the receptor. Finally, the 0039 IGF-l-induced response on cell growth and ER-mediated transactivation 0040 can be inhibited with either ICI or 4-CH-Tam. In conclusion, our data 0041 indicate IGF-IR and ER interactions in the aT3-1 cell line, an in vitro 0042 model for the pituitary gonadotrophs, hereby suggesting a role of IGF-I 0043 in the regulation of gonaclotropin synthesis and secretion. 0044 C1 State Univ Ghent Hosp, Dept Endocrinol, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium. 0045 State Univ Ghent Hosp, Expt Cancerol Lab, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium. 0046 RP Eertmans, F, State Univ Ghent Hosp, Dept Endocrinol, 6K 121E,De 0047 Pintelaan 185, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium. 0048 EM Frank.Eertmans@ugent.be 0049 NR 50 0050 TC 1 0051 PU WILEY-LISS 0052 PI HOBOKEN 0053 PA DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN, NJ 07030 USA 0054 SN 0021-9541 0055 J9 J CELL PHYSIOL 0056 JI J.
