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 />
