The effects of mitogens and agents affecting tyrosine phosphorylation signaling on androgen-regulated transcription were investigated. CV-1 and HeLa cells were cotransfected with an androgen receptor (AR) expression vector and an androgen-responsive chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene driven by the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter. Growth factors [epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor I] that activate receptor tyrosine kinases, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatases (vanadate), or an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases (genistein) did not influence basal promoter activity or that of unliganded AR. However, EGF, insulin-like growth factor I, and vanadate enhanced AR-dependent transactivation by 1.5- to 2.5-fold, and genistein diminished it by two thirds in the presence of androgen. None of the treatments affected pRSV-CAT or pSV- beta-galactosidase expression, suggesting that gross activation of the transcription machinery was not involved. A reporter with two androgen response elements (AREs) in front of the thymidine kinase promoter (p delta ARE2tk-CAT) was used to examine promoter specificity. EGF activated this reporter even in the absence of androgen. However, when EGF was used concomitantly with testosterone, it augmented the action of androgen. Vanadate enhanced androgen-induced transactivation 2-fold without altering basal promoter activity. Neither EGF nor vanadate altered immunoreactive AR content or elicited changes in the receptor's DNA-binding properties. The intracellular content of hormone-binding AR was not influenced by EGF, but was decreased by vanadate and increased by genistein, as judged by [3H]mibolerone binding assays. An AR form lacking the hormone-binding domain (delta 641-902 mutant) transactivated p delta ARE2tk-CAT reporter similar to or better than the wild-type receptor in the presence of androgen. The transactivation by the delta 641-902 mutant was augmented by EGF and vanadate, but was attenuated by genistein, implying that the steroid-binding region is not critical for regulatory events initiated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Collectively, these data indicate that there is cross- talk between androgen-mediated signaling systems and growth factor/receptor tyrosine kinase pathways.
