Effects of androgen receptor polyglutamine tract expansion on proliferation of NG108-15 cells

Expansion of the polyglutamine tracts in the androgen receptor (AR) has been recognized as a cause of X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA). In the present study, NG108-15 cells were stably transfected with expression vectors coding for either the wild type (WT) AR gene (CAG repeat number = 22) or a mutated (MT) AR gene (CAG repeat number = 52). Cells proliferation and cell cycle parameters were evaluated for NG108-15-WT and NG108-15-MT cells in the presence or absence of androgen. NG108-15-WT cells demonstrated an androgen-dependent increase in cell number, while NG108-15-MT cells did not. Our results demonstrate that expansion of polyglutamine tracts in the AR may affect the proliferation and differentiation of nerve cells.
