View SamplesDevelopmental exposure of mouse fetuses to estrogens results in dose-dependent permanent effects on prostate morphology and function. Fetal prostatic mesenchyme cells express estrogen receptor alpha (ER) and androgen receptors and convert stimuli from estrogens and androgens into signaling to regulate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation. To obtain mechanistic insight into the role of different doses of estradiol (E2) in regulating mesenchymal cells, we examined E2-induced transcriptomal changes in primary cultures of fetal mouse prostate mesenchymal cells. Urogenital sinus mesenchyme cells were obtained from male mouse fetuses at gestation day 17 and exposed to 10 pM, 100 pM or 100 nM E2 in the presence of a physiological concentration of dihydrotestosterone (0.69 nM) for four days. Gene ontology studies suggested that low doses of E2 (10 pM and 100 pM) induce genes involved in cell adhesion, morphological tissue development, and sterol biosynthesis but suppress genes involved in growth factor signaling and cell adhesion. Genes showing inverted-U-shape dose responses (enhanced by E2 at 10 pM E2 but suppressed at 100 pM) were identified, and their enrichment in the glycolytic pathway was demonstrated. At the highest dose (100 nM), E2 induced genes enriched not only for cell adhesion but also steroid hormone signaling and metabolism, cytokines and their receptors, cell-to-cell communication, Wnt signaling, and TGF- signaling. These results suggest that prostate mesenchymal cells may regulate epithelial cells through direct cell contacts when estrogen level is low whereas soluble growth factors might play significant roles when estrogen level is high.

View SamplesDevelopmental estrogen exposure causes permanent alterations to mouse prostate development. Fetal prostatic mesenchyme cells regulate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, and alterations to mesenchymal regulation of prostate epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation may lead to permanent changes in gland structure and function. Our goal was to understand how mesenchymal cells convert estrogen signaling to stimuli that affect epithelial cells. We used microarrays to identify estrogen-induced transcriptomal changes in primary cultures of fetal mouse prostate mesenchymal cells.
