Effect of cabergoline and a dopamine D1 receptor agonist on steroidogenic enzyme and ACTH-R expression. (a) RT-PCR analysis of steroidogenic enzyme mRNA expression. (b) StAR mRNA expression levels in OSR1+ cells treated with 20 μM cabergoline and 1 µM SKF 83822. Expression levels are normalised to levels of a housekeeping gene, β-actin. Student’s t-test was used for comparison of two groups. *P < 0.05. Data represent mean ± SEM of four independent experiments (n = 4). (c) RT-PCR analysis of mRNA expression of ACTH receptor in OSR1+ cells and SF-1-transfected OSR1+ IM cells.
