Abstract:
:During the reproductive cycle, fluctuations in circulating estrogens affect multiple homeostatic systems controlled by hypothalamic neurons. Two of these neuronal populations are arcuate proopiomelanocortin and neuropeptide Y neurons, which control energy homeostasis and feeding. Estradiol modulates these neurons either through the classical estrogen receptors (ERs) to control gene transcription or through a G protein-coupled receptor (mER) activating multiple signaling pathways. To differentiate between these two divergent ER-mediated mechanisms and their effects on homeostasis, female guinea pigs were ovariectomized and treated systemically with vehicle, estradiol benzoate (EB) or STX, a selective mER agonist, for 4 wk, starting 7 d after ovariectomy. Individual body weights were measured after each injection day for 28 d, at which time the animals were euthanized, and the arcuate nucleus was microdissected. As predicted, the body weight gain was significantly lower for EB-treated females after d 5 and for STX-treated females after d 12 compared with vehicle-treated females. Total arcuate RNA was extracted from all groups, but only the vehicle and STX-treated samples were prepared for gene microarray analysis using a custom guinea pig gene microarray. In the arcuate nucleus, 241 identified genes were significantly regulated by STX, several of which were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR and compared with EB-treated groups. The lower weight gain of EB-treated and STX-treated females suggests that estradiol controls energy homeostasis through both ERalpha and mER-mediated mechanisms. Genes regulated by STX indicate that not only does it control neuronal excitability but also alters gene transcription via signal transduction cascades initiated from mER activation.
