    ameae m walkerAmeae M Walker,

    Increasing evidence suggests an important role for autocrine/paracrine prolactin in breast and prostate cancers and other disease states. Prolactin production in these extrapituitary sites is not governed by dopamine agonists, a finding that has spurred the production of prolactin receptor antagonists. This review focuses on one such antagonist, S179D prolactin, which was produced by mimicking a natural antagonist, phosphorylated prolactin. S179D prolactin is a very effective growth antagonist, partly because it inhibits signalling from unmodified prolactin and partly because it produces its own intracellular signal. This signal results in cell differentiation, cell-cycle arrest or apoptosis depending on dose, duration of treatment and cellular context. S179D prolactin is also a potent antiangiogenic and initial studies have shown it to be a potent anti-inflammatory agent. In light of these additional modes of action, it is suggested that S179D prolactin should now be more aptly referred to as a selective prolactin receptor modulator.
