Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A Cell extract from the HEL (human erythroblastic leukemia) cell line was positive for both the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MCR) as glycosylated 82-84 kDa bands, and a single 102 kDa band, respectively, in Western blots using polyclonal antibodies raised against these proteins. The immunofluorescent labeling of the MCR in all cell lines showed a nucleocytoplasmic localization of the receptor whereas the ENaC was exclusively membrane-bound. These results were confirmed by confocal microscopy. The expression of the MCR in HEL cells was evident as a predicted band of 843 bp (234 amino acids) after total RNA from HEL cells had been reverse transcribed and then amplified by PCR; the ENaC was similarly evident as a predicted band of 520 bp. In both cases, near 100% identity was observed between the deduced amino acid sequences of the PCR products and those from known human sources. The multiplication of HEL cells was influenced by antagonists (RU 26752, ZK 91587) targeted for specificity to the MCR and this was reversed by the natural hormone aldosterone. These steroids also provoked chromatin condensation in the HEL population.
