In the search for androgen target genes responsible for malignant growth in S115 mouse mammary tumor cells we found that thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) expression was strongly downregulated by testosterone (Te). Experiments with cycloheximide suggested that Te repression of TSP1 was dependent on de novo protein synthesis. TSPI repression by Te was preceded by the induction of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) expression. FGF8 has previously been shown to mediate androgen effects on proliferation of S 115 cells by autocrine/paracrine mechanisms. It has also been shown to increase breast cancer cell growth as tumors in nude mice and to stimulate tumor angiogenesis. We studied here the possibility that FGF8 belonged to the Te-induced de novo synthesized proteins that mediate the effect of Te on TSP1 expression in these cells. We found that addition of FGF8b to in vitro cultures or ectopic expression of FGF8b in S115 cells repressed TSP1 expression at mRNA and protein levels even in the absence of Te. FGF2, another angiogenic member of FGF family, also downregulated TSPI mRNA level in the in vitro cultures of S115 cells. The antisense oligonucleotides for FGF8 did not, however, prevent Te-repression of TSP1 mRNA expression and a neutralizing anti-FGF8b antibody only partially opposed Te induced downregulation of TSP1. These results suggest that both androgen and FGF8 inhibit TSP1 expression independently. They also suggest that opposite to many other androgen-induced responses in S115 cells, the effect of Te on the expression TSP1 is not mediated by FGF8.
