Abstract:
:Fetal exposure to diazepam (DZ), a positive modulator of GABA(A) receptors and an agonist at mitochondrial benzodiazine receptors, induces long-term neural and behavioral effects. This study evaluated whether the early manipulation influenced the normal development of brain levels of neurosteroids or altered steroid action at GABA(A) receptors. Pregnant dams were injected over gestation days 14 through 20 with DZ (2.5 mg/kg) or the vehicle. Male and female offspring were analyzed at five postnatal ages. The levels of progesterone (P), dihydroprogesterone (DHP), 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP), testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone, and 5alpha-androstan-3alpha,17beta diol were measured in the cerebral cortex and diencephalon. The results indicated that development of brain steroid levels and the impact of fetal DZ exposure were region- and sex-specific. Age-related changes in brain steroids did not mirror associated changes in circulating P and T. Age regulated the levels of all 3 progestins in the cerebral cortex, and fetal DZ exposure interacted with the development of P and DHP. The development of 3alpha,5alpha-THP in the cortex was markedly influenced by sex, with levels in males decreasing over postnatal development whereas they increased over postpubertal development in females. An adolescent surge in T levels was observed in male cortex and fetal DZ exposure prevented that surge. Steroid levels in the diencephalon were altered by age mainly in females, and DZ exposure had little effect in this region. The data support region-specific regulation of brain steroid synthesis. Only in the cerebral cortex are relevant mechanisms readily modifiable by fetal DZ exposure. However, neither sex nor fetal DZ exposure altered the response of GABA(A) receptors in adult cortex to neurosteroid.
