Androgen action in fetal mouse spinal cord cultures: metabolic and morphologic aspects.

Abstract:

:Morphologic and metabolic aspects of androgen effects on the developing spinal cord were studied in organotypic cultures of the E13 (embryonic day 13) fetal mouse lumbosacral spinal cord, maintained as either hemisected, homologous explant pairs co-cultured with bulbocavernosus muscle (morphologic studies), or as whole cross-sectional segments without muscle in which the nutrient medium was supplemented with muscle extract (metabolic studies). Metabolic studies demonstrated the total absence of aromatase activity. 5 alpha-Reductase activity, on the other hand, increased differentially in a segment-dependent manner in spinal cord explants from 0 to 35 days in culture, suggesting regional differences in the utilization of testosterone and its 5 alpha-reduced metabolites. In all studies, spinal cord explants showed androgen-dependent increases in neurite outgrowth, although this was most pronounced in spinal cord-muscle co-cultures. These results indicate that androgens per se affect very early development throughout the entire lumbosacral spinal cord, and that this influence is not restricted to those segments reported to be sexually dimorphic in the adult.
