Receptor proteins for androgens in prostatic disease

R Ghanadian, G Auf, G D Chisholm

    British Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study validates methyltrienolone (R1881) as a specific androgen receptor assay for human prostate tumors. The method successfully measured dihydrotestosterone (DHT) receptors in benign and malignant prostate tissues.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Androgen receptors play a crucial role in prostate cancer development and progression.
    • Accurate measurement of androgen receptors is essential for understanding prostate diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the suitability of a methyltrienolone (R1881) exchange assay for quantifying androgen receptors in human prostate tumors.
    • To establish the specificity of R1881 for androgen receptor binding.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated the efficacy of an exchange assay using methyltrienolone (R1881).
    • Established the specificity of R1881 for androgen receptor assays.
    • Conducted a pilot study to measure dihydrotestosterone (DHT) receptors.

    Main Results:

    • Methyltrienolone (R1881) demonstrated suitability for androgen receptor measurement.
    • The specificity of R1881 for androgen receptor assay was confirmed.
    • Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) receptors were successfully measured in prostate tissue samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The methyltrienolone (R1881) exchange assay is a suitable method for measuring androgen receptors in human prostate tumors.
    • This assay can be reliably used to quantify dihydrotestosterone (DHT) receptors in both benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
