This study investigated the selective mechanism of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) using the synthetic steroid YK11. The results suggested that gene selective regulation by SARMs is achieved through differential DNA-binding and/or cofactor recruitment by ligands. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanism of action of SARMs.
Recently, selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), which bind to AR and act in a tissue/effect-specific manner, have been developed, but the selective mechanism is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the selective mechanism using the synthetic steroid YK11, which showed AR-mediated gene-selective trans -activation. In the AR-positive human breast cancer MDA-MB-453 cells, different patterns of AR-mediated target gene expression and AR recruitment to their enhancer regions were observed between DHT and YK11. A docking study suggested the helices 11 and 12 was moved by the sterically hindered C17-group of YK11. Furthermore, the mutational studies of AR Gln902 and mammalian two-hybrid assays suggested different cofactor recruitment between DHT and YK11. The results of this study suggest that gene selective regulation by SARMs results from differential DNA-binding and/or cofactor recruitment by ligands. These results provide novel insights into the mechanism of action of SARMs.
