OBJECTIVE: Early growth response protein-1 (Egr-1)/nerve growth factor-induced A (also known as Zif-268, Krox-24, TIS8, ZENK) is a zinc-finger transcription factor which, although expressed in a range of organ systems, has been shown to be essential only in the maintenance of fertility through actions within the endocrine system. In the present study we have investigated the anatomical basis for actions of Egr-1 in the adult anterior pituitary gland. DESIGN: Using female rats and mice as experimental models, we have used immunocytochemical and microscopic analysis to make observations of the cellular and sub-cellular localization of Egr-1 protein. METHODS: Immuno-(Western) blotting was first used to characterize the anterior pituitary proteins detected by a commercially available Egr-1 antibody. Subsequently, the antibody was used both singly and in combination with an LH beta-subunit antibody, for immunocytochemical localization studies in pituitary sections. RESULTS: The Egr-1 antiserum detected a single, major (primarily nuclear) 75 kDa protein band in Western blots of anterior pituitary extracts. Nuclear localization was confirmed by immunocytochemistry, which also demonstrated that the 75 kDa protein is localized to a minority sub-population of anterior pituitary cells in both rat and mouse. Dual immunocytochemical localization showed that the Egr-1 protein is primarily restricted to the nuclei of LH beta-subunit-expressing cells. CONCLUSIONS: Sub-cellular localization of Egr-1 to the nucleus is consistent with a direct role in transcriptional regulation of anterior pituitary function in the adult rat. Furthermore, a selective role in the physiological control of gonadotrophin gene expression is indicated.
