Detection of prolactin receptor ( PRL R ) mRNA in the rat hypothalamus and pituitary gland . ^^^ Prolactin receptor ( PRL R ) mRNAs exist in several tissues where prolactin is known to act including the liver , testes , prostate , ovary , mammary gland , adrenal gland and kidney . ^^^ Therefore , we hypothesized that PRL R mRNA would exist in these target tissues as well . ^^^ Using primers that flanked the coding region for the extracellular binding domain we detected PRL R mRNA in the anterior and medial basal hypothalamus , anterior and posterior pituitary gland , as well as in the liver , but not in the cerebral cortex or skeletal muscle . ^^^ In addition , when we used primers that distinguish the long and short forms of the PRL R mRNA , both forms of the PRL R mRNA were detectable in the same tissues . ^^^

Biological and clinical aspects of prolactin receptors ( PRL R ) in human breast cancer . ^^^ It has been shown that prolactin receptors ( PRL R ) which are specific for all lactogenic hormones ( hPRL , hGH , hPL ) are present on mammary cancer cells in long term tissue culture and also in tumor biopsies . ^^^ We found that 43 % of the tumors had free PRL R ( FPRL R ) and that 72 % had total PRL R ( TPRL R ) which have been desaturated in vitro . ^^^ A significant correlation ( Spearman test ) was found between PRL R ( especially TPRL R ) on the one hand , estradiol ( P less than 0 . 001 ) and progesterone receptors ( P less than 0 . 01 ) on the other . ^^^ The demonstration of PRL induced proteins ( PIP ) might be a better sign of PRL sensitivity than the existence or PRL R ; PIP have been found by Northern blot analysis in 47 % of 70 breast cancers . ^^^

The female specific expression of the rat liver PRL receptor ( PRL R ) gene was investigated by Northern analysis of hypophysectomized rats after two alternative human GH treatments that were to mimic either 1 ) the continuous female specific or 2 ) the discontinuous male specific serum GH patterns . ^^^ The former ( female specific ) pattern was shown to result in a dramatic increase in PRL R mRNA in both males and females , while the latter ( male specific ) pattern failed to evoke this response . ^^^ A similar inductive effect in hypophysectomized females was shown after continuous administration of bovine GH and was found to constitute an approximately 60 fold increase in PRL R mRNA levels . ^^^ In contrast to GH , only a slight elevation of PRL R mRNA was evoked by the ligand ovine PRL , while coadministration of ovine PRL with bovine GH failed to enhance the mRNA level found with bovine GH alone . ^^^ The detection of previously unreported PRL R mRNAs in liver of approximately 3 . 0 , 3 . 8 , and 5 kilobases in addition to the major 2 . 2 kilobase form was also evident after continuous GH administration . . ^^^

The receptors for prolactin ( PRLR ) are expressed in many tissues including the mammary gland , a classical target tissue for prolactin ( PRL ) , but the cellular localization of expression of the PRLR gene in mammary gland has not yet been identified . ^^^ We therefore employed the pituitary isografted mouse as a model to distinguish the cells expressing PRLR since PRL blood levels are known to be constitutively elevated in these animals . ^^^ The localization of PRL responsive cells to the parenchyma of the mammary gland suggests that epithelial cells are the mediators of PRL action and that the transcriptional regulation of PRLR expression by PRL is direct in the epithelial cell . . ^^^

However , prolactin receptor ( PrlR ) expression and its regulation have been described only for hepatocytes . ^^^ Our results demonstrate that the expression pattern and regulation of PrlR isoforms is totally different in cholangiocytes compared with hepatocytes : ( 1 ) mature rat cholangiocytes express low levels of PrlR , while it is very high in hepatocytes , ( 2 ) only the long isoform is detected in cholangiocytes , while the short isoform predominates in hepatocytes and ( 3 ) PrlR levels in cholangiocytes are induced by obstructive cholestasis , but not by sex hormones or prolactin , while it is the opposite in hepatocytes . ^^^ Long isoform of prolactin receptor predominates in rat intrahepatic bile ducts and further increases under obstructive cholestasis . ^^^
