Abstract
Immunocytochemical studies previously showed that serum deprivation resulted in the appearance of steroid 5alpha-reductase (5alpha-R) in the cytoplasm of rat C6 glioma cells. To determine whether this increase in cytoplasmic 5alpha-R was due to changes in 5alpha-R gene expression, the effect of serum deprivation on 5alpha-R mRNA expression was examined. No significant change in the mRNA levels was observed in cells grown in serum-free culture medium. Therefore, the appearance of 5alpha-R immunoreactivity in the cell cytoplasm observed under serum-free conditions is probably not due to changes in 5alpha-R gene expression.
