Abstract:
:Medial preoptic area (MPA), supraoptic nucleus (SON), magnocellular (MaPVN) and parvocellular (PaPVN) paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei, and mesencephalic lateral tegmentum (MLT) are involved in maternal behavior, parturition and lactation. This study investigated the FosB and Fos immunoreactivity in these regions of virgin, pregnant, parturient, lactating, and lactating-arrested rats. The patterns of FosB and Fos expression were compared between the sections taken from the same animals. Quantitative immunohistochemistry revealed a significant increase in the numbers of FosB-positive neurons in the MPA, SON, MaPVN, and MLT of parturient and lactating females as compared with pregnant or virgin animals. In lactating rats, the numbers of FosB-positive neurons in the MPA, PaPVN, and MLT were increased, but the numbers in the SON and MaPVN were decreased as compared with parturient females. Many Fos-positive neurons were also seen in parturient and lactating rats, and the patterns of Fos expression in each region were quite similar to those of FosB. Moreover, double-labeling immunohistochemistry revealed that: (1) many FosB-positive nuclei were observed in oxytocin and vasopressin neurons of the SON and PVN in parturient rats; (2) within FosB-positive neurons, 89.5% in the MPA, 86.8% in the MLT of parturient rats, and 92% in the MPA and 90.8% in the MLT of lactating animals were also Fos-positive. Only a small number of FosB and Fos-positive neurons were seen in females that were killed in the early stage of parturition. Removal of the litters immediately after parturition completely eliminated FosB and Fos expression in each region in the dams. Taken together, the present results suggest that FosB expression is co-involved with Fos in the neural activation during parturition and lactation in rats.
