The effects of immunosuppressants and inhibitors of specific calcium/calmodulin kinase (CaMK) of types II and IV on progestin/glucocorticosteroid-induced transcription were studied in two human stably transfected breast cancer T47D cell lines. The lines contain the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) gene under control either of the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter (T47D-MMTV-CAT), or the minimal promoter containing five glucocorticosteroid/progestin hormone response elements [T47D-(GRE)5-CAT]. Progestin- and triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-induced CAT gene expression was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner in both lines by preincubation with rapamycin (Rap) and, to a lesser extent, with FK506, but not with cyclosporin A. CaMK II and/or IV inhibitors KN62 and KN93 also inhibited progestin- and TA-stimulated transcription in both lines. None of these drugs had any effect on basal transcription. The antagonist RU486 inhibited all the effects of both progestin and TA, suggesting that progesterone receptor (PR)-, as well as glucocorticosteroid receptor (GR)- mediated transactivation are targets of immunosuppressants and CaMKs in T47D cells. Indeed, Northern analysis showed that Rap, KN62, and, to a lesser degree, FK506 inhibited progestin stimulation of Cyclin D1 mRNA levels, but not those of the non-steroid-regulated glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene. Addition of Rap or KN62 after exposure of cells to progesterone agonist Org 2058 had no effect on induction of CAT activity. Taken together, these data indicate that Rap and FK506, as well as CaMK inhibitors, inhibit steroid-induced activities of exogenous, as well as of some endogenous, steroid receptor-regulated genes by a mechanism preceding hormone-induced receptor activation. Rap appeared to stabilize a 9S form of [3H]Org 2058-PR complexes isolated from T47D (GRE)5CAT cell nuclei. By contrast, the progesterone receptor (PR) was isolated from cells treated with KN62 as a 5S entity, undistinguishable from the 5S PR species extracted from cells treated with progestin only. The nuclear 9S-[3H]Org2058-PR resulting from cells exposed to Rap, contained, in addition to the heat shock proteins of 90 kDa and 70 kDa (hsp90 and hsp70), the FK506-binding immunophilin FKBP52 but not FKBP51, although the latter was part of unliganded PR heterocomplex associated with hsp90. These results suggest that Rap and KN62 act upon the PR by distinct mechanisms, with only Rap impeding progestin-induced PR transformation. FKBP51 appeared to dissociate from the receptor heterocomplex, but not from hsp90, after hormone binding to PR in vitro and in vivo, whether in the presence or not of Rap and KN62. Immunoprecipitation experiments distinguished two PR- and glucocorticosteroid (GR)-associated molecular chaperone complexes, containing hsp90 and hsp70 and FKBP52 or FKBP51. Another complex identified in T47D cytosol contained hsp90 and the cyclosporin A-binding cyclophilin of 40 kDa, CYP40, but not hsp70, PR, or GR. These observations support the concept that FKBP51 and FKBP52 can act as regulators of Rap and FK506 activity upon PR and GR-mediated transcription, a mechanism that could be also regulated by type II and/or type IV CaMKs.
