We investigated the effects of dexamethasone on epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced DNA synthesis and proliferation in serum-free primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. Isolated hepatocytes were cultured at a density of 3.3×104 cells/cm2 in Williams' medium E containing 5% bovine calf serum and various concentrations of dexamethasone for 1, 2 and 3 h. After the 3-h attachment period, the medium was changed, and cells were cultured in serum-free and dexamethasone-free Williams' medium E with or without glucocorticoid receptor antagonists. The growth-stimulating effects of EGF (20 ng/ml) on the primary cultured hepatocytes were time- and concentration-dependently inhibited by dexamethasone added to the culture medium. The mineral corticoid aldosterone (10?7 M) did not produce the same growth-inhibitory effects as dexamethasone (10?8 M). The inhibitory effects of dexamethasone were reversed by treatment with the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist mifepristone (RU486, 10?6 M) or a monoclonal antibody against glucocorticoid receptor (100 ng/ml). In addition, the growth-inhibitory effects of dexamethasone did not affect EGF-induced p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphorylation. These results indicate that dexamethasone concentration-dependently delays and inhibits the EGF-induced DNA synthesis and proliferation through its own intracellular receptor in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes.
