Expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta in the baboon fetal ovary

Biology of Reproduction
G J PepeE D Albrecht

Abstract

In adult mammals, estrogen regulates ovarian function, and estrogen receptor (ER) is expressed in granulosa cells of antral follicles of the adult baboon ovary. Because the foundation of adult ovarian function is established in utero, the present study determined whether ERalpha and/or ERbeta were expressed in fetal ovaries obtained on Days 100 (n = 3) and 165-181 (n = 5) of baboon gestation (term = Day 184). On Day 100, ERalpha protein was detected by immunocytochemistry in surface epithelium and mesenchymal-epithelial cells but not oocytes in germ cell cords. ERbeta protein was also detected by immunocytochemistry on Day 100 of gestation and was abundantly expressed in mesenchymal-epithelial cells in germ cell cords, lightly expressed in the germ cells, but was not detected in the surface epithelium. On Days 165-180 of gestation, ERalpha expression was still intense in the surface epithelium, in mesenchymal-epithelial cells throughout the cortex, and in nests of cells between follicles. ERalpha expression was lighter in granulosa cells and was not observed in all granulosa cells, particularly in follicles close to the cortex. In contrast, ERbeta expression was most intense in granulosa cells, especially in flattened granulosa...Continue Reading
