Mücərrəd

In the present paper, we report that ovaries of adult rats treated with testosterone propionate (TP) on a critical postnatal Day 5 exhibit histologic and immunohistochemical findings which resemble those of the anovulatory ovaries in middle-aged female rats. The sterile rat model has been long known whereas ovarian failure seems to be a reason for anovulation with normal hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadotropin background. Appropriate function of ovarian steroidogenic cells is also regulated by mesenchymal cells. To characterize the ovarian failure, we studied the histology, luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) expression, and characterized changes of vascular pericytes, T cells, and dendritic cells in ovarian steroidogenic compartments consisting of interstitial cells (ISC) of ovarian interstitial glands, and granulosa and theca interna cells of ovarian follicles. Normal adult ovaries contained 63% of mature interstitial glands. The mature ISC exhibited moderate cytoplasmic and strong surface LHR expression and fine (<5 micrometer) cytoplasmic vacuoles (ISC of 'luteal type'). They originated from young ISC of 'thecal type,' which exhibited strong cytoplasmic LHR expression. Remaining 37% were aged interstitial glands, which consisted of aged ISC (increased cytoplasmic vacuolization, nuclear pyknosis, and reduced surface LHR expression) and regressing ISC (weak cytoplasmic and no surface LHR expression). However, no mature ISC of 'luteal type' were detected in anovulatory ovaries of adult rats (45- and 60-day-old) injected with TP (100 or 500 microgram) on postnatal Day 5 (TP rats). Their ovaries contained 96% of aged interstitial glands with aged and regressing ISC. Remaining 4% were abnormal interstitial glands with direct transition of young ISC of 'thecal type' into aged ISC (young/aged glands). Lack of mature ISC, and similar amount of aged (96%) and young/aged interstitial glands (4%) was also detected in anovulatory ovaries of untreated persistently estrous middle-aged (10-month-old) females (aging PE rats). The aging process in TP and aging PE rats was accompanied by regression of vascular pericytes, T cells, and dendritic cells within the interstitial glands. In addition, anovulatory ovaries of TP rats and aging PE females contained mature follicles exhibiting LHR overexpression by granulosa cells, and aged (cystic) follicles with reduced layers of granulosa cells lacking LHR expression. In contrast, when the rats were injected with 500 microgram of TP later, on postnatal Day 10, the adult females exhibited estrous cycles and normal ovaries with corpora lutea. These results show that injection of TP during the critical postnatal period causes a lack of mature and preponderance of aged ISC in adult ovaries, accompanied by degeneration of mesenchymal cells. We suggest that mesenchymal cells regulate qualitative aspects of tissue-specific cells, and this function of mesenchymal cells is programmed during the critical period of development.
