The effects of doxorubicin and methotrexate on the oestradiol-induced depletion, replenishment and subsequent increase beyond the normal value (overshoot) in the number of uterine cytoplasmic oestrogen receptors were investigated in intact rats. Injection of doxorubicin (0.5 mg/kg, i.v.) or methotrexate (1mg/kg, i.m.) 5 min after a single i.p. injection of 10 ng oestradiol-17beta (which is able to induce a 50% depletion in the number of oestrogen receptors) caused a significant increase in the oestradiol-induced depletion. Both drugs inhibited the replenishment and the overshoot phases until 48 h after treatment, although the effect was more marked with doxorubicin. Experiments in vitro showed that both methotrexate and doxorubicin affected the capacity of oestradiol-17beta to bind to specific cytoplasmic receptors, inducing an increase in binding when used at low concentrations and a decrease at higher concentrations. The effects of doxorubicin and methotrexate on the depletion, replenishment and overshoot of oestrogen receptors seemed to be partly dependent on the inhibition of protein synthesis and partly due to direct action on the binding of oestradiol-17beta to its receptors.
