Abstract
Recent observations that steroids use pathways universally known to be regulated by growth factors and interleukins highlight the following points: (1) Steroid stimulation of the canonical pathway Src/Ras/Erk signaling from membrane to nuclei or its single members has been observed in different cell types including human cancer-derived cells, neurons, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and endothelial cells. This stimulation has been reconstituted and analyzed in transiently transfected cells. (2) Cellular context and intracellular localization of receptors are crucial in determining the biological effects evoked by this hormonal stimulation: proliferation, protection from apoptosis, and vasorelaxation. (3) Classical steroid receptors localized in the extranuclear compartment directly and, in some cases, simultaneously interact with Src. They are capable of unexpected cross talks responsible for the observed effects. (4) Other signaling pathways including P13K/AKT are also stimulated by steroids. The aim of future work will be to arrive at an integrated general view of the different signaling pathways activated by steroids and to analyze the concert between these pathways and the hormonal transcriptional action. This general view should be simultaneously verified in different cell contexts, under different physiologic and pathologic conditions. We expect that the new technologies, above all gene and protein microarray, will make this goal feasible.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
