Agerelated changes in estrogen receptorβ mRNA expression in<br />

male rat brain<br />

<br />

<br />

Estrogen plays important roles not only in reproductive function but also in other<br />

functions such as cognition and emotion. Estrogen acts mainly via its receptor<br />

ER, ERα and β, in target tissues. During aging, estrogenic actions are altered<br />

in both females and males, raising the possibility that expression level of ER may<br />

be altered with age. Agerelated changes in ER expression in female rat brain<br />

have been well demonstrated with regard to reproductive aging, while very little<br />

is known about the effects of age on the expression of ERs, especially ERβ, in<br />

males. In this study, to elucidate the effects of aging on ERβ expression in the<br />

male brain at the transcriptional level, we performed in situ hybridization using<br />

young, middleaged and old male rats. We revealed the number of ERβ mRNA<br />

positive cells was decreased with age in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus,<br />

dorsal endopiriform nucleus, medial septal nucleus, amygdala, anteroventral<br />

periventricular nucleus, substantia nigra, raphe and locus coeruleus. These<br />

results suggest that ERβ expression in male rat brain decreases with age at the<br />

transcriptional level and that these aging effects are regionspecific.<br />

Huntingtinassociated protein 1 HAP1 is a neural huntingtin interactor that is<br />

widely expressed in the limbic and hypothalamic regions. Although HAP1 has<br />

been reported to be associated with steroid receptors, HAP1immunoreactive<br />

HAP1ir cells remain to be identified in the hippocampus. We determined the<br />

distribution of hippocampal HAP1ir cells in light and fluorescence microscopy<br />

and characterized their morphological relationships with steroid receptors,<br />

markers of adult neurogenesis and the GABAergic system in adult Wistar rats<br />

of both sexes. HAP1ir cells that were sporadically distributed in the subgranular<br />

zone SGZ of the dentate gyrus and in the interface between the stratum<br />

lacunosummoleculare and stratum radiatum of Ammon’s horn, were identified as<br />

the “sporadically lurking HAP1-ir (SLH)” cells. The SLH cells showed no clear<br />

association with the markers of adult neurogenesis in the SGZ, while all the SLH<br />

cells expressed neuN. More than 90% of the SLH cells expressed nuclear ERα,<br />

while more than 65% of them exhibited GABA immunoreactivity. We conclude<br />

that SLH cells might be involved in estrogendependent hippocampal functions<br />

through ERα and GABAergic regulation.<br />
