Abstract:
:The alpha subtype of the estrogen receptor (ERalpha) is present in nociceptive and parasympathetic regions of the adult rat spinal cord. The pattern of ERalpha expression in the rat spinal cord during development, however, is unknown. We used a polyclonal antibody (ER-21) to examine the expression of ERalpha in male rat lumbosacral spinal cords at embryonic day (E) 17, E21 (the day before birth), postnatal day (P) 1 (the day of birth), P8, P17, P21, and P36. At E17, ERalpha immunoreactivity (ERalpha-ir) was observed predominantly in ependymal cells. Perinatally, ERalpha-ir was also present in neurons in dorsal root ganglia and in fibers capping and within laminae I and II. By P8, ERalpha-ir was absent in ependymal cells, but ERalpha-ir fibers were dense in laminae I and II and in sympathetic and parasympathetic areas. ERalpha-ir was also present in neurons in the dorsal horns. To determine whether ERalpha-ir fibers in laminae I and II were processes of spinal neurons or primary afferents, dorsal rhizotomies were performed on P17 and P21 animals. Unilateral transection of the lumbosacral dorsal roots virtually eliminated ERalpha-ir fibers in the ipsilateral superficial laminae, demonstrating that the majority of ERalpha-ir fibers in these laminae were primary afferents. We show for the first time that ERalpha-ir is present in neurons and fibers of male prenatal and postnatal spinal cord. The presence of ERalpha in neuronal nuclei and processes may reflect diverse roles and novel mechanisms of action for 17 beta-estradiol in development of spinal sensory and autonomic circuitry.
