Dolichol-sugar derivative synthesis in human breast cancer cell line (T47D). Effects of estrogens and antiestrogens

In the present paper we report evidence about the formation of polyprenyl-phosphate monosaccharides, their elongation products and the assembly of dolichyl-diphosphate-oligosaccharide to endogenous T47D clon 11 proteins upon incubation with [14C]glucose. The influence of estradiol and two nonesteroi...

Sumario:In the present paper we report evidence about the formation of polyprenyl-phosphate monosaccharides, their elongation products and the assembly of dolichyl-diphosphate-oligosaccharide to endogenous T47D clon 11 proteins upon incubation with [14C]glucose. The influence of estradiol and two nonesteroidal antiestrogens -nafoxidine and tamoxifen- was examined on the dolichol pathway in T47D cell cultures. Estradiol (1 nM) does not change the rate of synthesis of dolichyl-phosphate-sugar derivatives in contrast to nafoxidine and tamoxifen both a micromolar concentration, which induce a remarkable decrease in the formation of dolichol-sugar derivatives. In addition, T47D cells were pretreated with nafoxidine or tamoxifen during one hour, fresh medium supplemented with estradiol was added to the cells simultaneously with [14C]glucose. Results indicated that estradiol after nafoxidine induces a slight increase in the polyprenyl-sugar derivatives formation, however, estradiol after tamoxifen decreases the synthesis of these substances. © 1985.
