Developmental changes in epithelial cadherin messenger ribonucleic acid and immunocytochemical localization of epithelial cadherin during postnatal epididymal development in the rat.

Abstract:

:The formation of junctional complexes between adjacent epithelial principal cells leads to formation of the blood-epididymal barrier; this barrier is complete by 21 days of postnatal age. Cadherins are cell surface proteins that mediate intercellular adhesion and are involved in the formation of adherence, gap, and tight junctions between epithelial cells. In the adult rat epididymis, epithelial cadherin (E-Cad) is localized in principal cells; E-Cad mRNA concentrations are androgen dependent in this tissue. The objectives of this study were to determine the regulation of E-Cad mRNA concentrations and the pattern of immunocytochemical localization of E-Cad during epididymal development. Using Northern blot analysis, we noted that in the caput-corpus epididymidis, there was a 3-fold increase in E-Cad mRNA concentrations between 7-14 days; an additional 3-fold increase between days 35-42, when E-Cad mRNA concentrations reached their peak, was noted. A dramatic decrease in E-Cad mRNA was observed between 42-49 days of age. This effect was transitory as E-Cad mRNA concentrations returned to almost 80% of peak concentrations on day 56 and remained constant thereafter. In the cauda epididymidis, E-Cad mRNA concentrations increased by only 1.6-fold between days 7-21. E-Cad mRNA concentrations then decreased by 70% to their lowest concentrations on day 56. There was a 2-fold increase in E-Cad mRNA concentrations between postnatal ages 56-91 days. These results suggest that the developmental regulation of E-Cad mRNA concentrations is segment specific. A subsequent study on the longitudinal distribution of E-Cad mRNA levels in six epididymal segments at 21, 42, and 56 days of age revealed that the relative proportion of E-Cad mRNA along the epididymis changes as a function of age. An immunocytochemical study with the light microscope, using an anti-E-Cad antibody, demonstrated that the localization and relative concentrations of E-Cad varied as a function of age. On day 15, the immunoperoxidase staining of the entire epididymal epithelium was apical, with the weakest staining in the cauda epididymidis. By day 21, the reaction spread to cover the supranuclear region of the principal cells in all segments, while on day 39, it covered the entire cytoplasm of these cells, suggesting a high rate of synthesis or storage of the protein. At later time intervals, the intensity of staining over the principal cells appeared to increase with age.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
