Polymorphisms of the human prolactin gene--implications for production of lymphocyte prolactin and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Lupus - 1 Jan 2001

Stevens A, Ray D W, Worthington J, Davis J R

Abstract excerpt

Hyperprolactinaemia is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but the mechanism is unknown. Prolactin is expressed not only by pituitary lactotrophic cells but also by T-lymphocytes under the control of an alternative upstream promoter region. T-lymphocytes from SLE patients have been shown to secrete more prolactin than controls, thus implying a possible underlying difference in regulation. This may...
