Growth Processes Induced by Estrogenic Hormones in the Uterus of the Mouse' GROWTH PROCESSES INDUCED BY ESTROGENIC HORMONES IN THE UTERUS OF THE MOUSE' LEO LOEB, V. SUNTZEFF,AND E. L. BURNS (From fhe Laboratory of Rescurch Pathology, Oscar Johnson Institute, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis) In former investigations we have studied the growth processes which take place in the mammary gland ( 1j and in the vagina and cervix (2) of mice under the 'influence of estrogenic hormones, and the conditions under which these .processes become cancerous. The investigations recorded here extend this analysis to the uterus of the mouse. By uterus, we understand that part of the vaginal-cervical-uterine tract which begins approximately at the point of bifurcation. In earlier studies on the guinea-pig, it was pointed out (3) that the cervix may be divided into three parts: a vaginal, an intermediate, and a uterine part. The condition is similar in the mouse, although in this animal the division is perhaps not quite so defi- nite as in the guinea-pig. Also there exists in the mouse a transition zone be- tween cervix proper and uterus, in which the tissue has essentially the struc- ture of the uterus but still retains some cervical characteristics, namely, a somewhat greater tendency to the production of low squamous epithelium than is present in the uterus proper. Thus there may be found here an area in which are uterine glands covered by low squamous rather than by cylindrical epithelium; furthermore, there may develop in this area glandular cysts which are filled with hyaline nucleated cells instead of with a diffuse gelatinous ma- terial, such as is usually encountered in uterine cysts. In this transition zone the cysts may be lined entirely or partially with a low squamous epithelium. In accordance with the characteristics of the epithelium of the cervix and vagina and its tendency to assume the squamous-cell type, we find in these areas a greater incidence of precancerous and cancerous changes. In the uterus, on the other hand, as the experiments to be reported in this paper prove, the tendency to produce precancerous or cancerous changes is much less. The uterus and other sex organs were studied in 501 mice, this number in- cluding 177 control mice which were not subjected to treatment with sex hor- mones. The strains used and the ages at which the various groups were autopsied were as follows (I signifies an age of one to eleven months; 11, twelve to seventeen months; 111, eighteen months and over, and IIIa, twenty months and over) : (A) Control Mice Strain A, 55 mice.

We are indebted to Dr. Erwin Schwenk of the Schering Corporation for supplying us generously with Progynon B (benzoic acid ester of dehydrofolliculin) which is the estrogenic hormone used in these experiments. 413 414 LEO LOEB, V.

The following changes may take place in the uterus of mice under the di- rect or indirect influence of estrogen : (I) The normal one-layered cylindrical epithelium may change into an epithelium which consists of several rows of cylindrical cells, into a partly cylindrical and partly squamous epithelium, or into a typical squamous epithelium; (11) gland ducts may become cystically dilated and filled with colloid material; (111) the uterine glands may prolifer- ate and penetrate into and through the muscle tissue; (IV) infection may take place, in consequence of which the uterine cavity becomes transformed into an abscess and parts of the uterine wall may become necrotic and ulcerated; (V) parts of the pancreas may become adherent to the uterus. We shall discuss the frequency with which these changes occurred in the various groups of mice, as well as their significance. I. CHANGEIN THE CHARACTEROF THE UTERINESURFACE EPITHELIUM Two processes may lead to a change in the character of the surface epi- thelium of the uterus. (1) There may occur'a regenerative growth of the squamous cervical epithelium from the cervix into the adjoining uterus; this is usually due to a preceding ulceration of the uterine mucosa. In certain cases the ingrowth of the cervical squamous epithelium can be followed into the uterus. In other cases there are indications that such an ingrowth may have occurred, although there seems to have been no infection or ulceration. (2) In certain instances a real metaplasia of the uterine surface epithelium may take place.

Figure 2 Uterus - Dilation in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study (higher magnification of Figure 1). The endometrial epithelium is cuboidal. Figure 3 Uterus - Dilation in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study. There is dilation of the uterine lumen, which contains flocculent, eosinophilic material. Figure 4 Uterus - Dilation in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study (higher magnification of Figure 3). There is flattened epithelium and eosinophilic material in the uterine lumen. Comment: Dilation of uterine horns (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4) is commonly observed at necropsy, and frequently these uteri have accumulations of excessive amounts of fluid within the 1 Uterus – Dilation lumen. Uterine dilation is relatively commonly seen in both rats and mice and may be segmental. Luminal dilation may be associated with stromal polyps or occur secondarily to hormonal imbalances from ovarian cysts or to a prolonged estrus state after cessation of the estrus cycle in aged rodents. Administration of progestins, estrogens, and tamoxifen in rats has been associated with uterine dilation. Luminal dilation is normally observed at proestrus and estrus in cycling rodents and should not be diagnosed. Increased serous fluid production is part of the proestrus phase of the cycle judged by the vaginal epithelium (which shows early keratinization covered by a layer of mucified cells) and should not be diagnosed. With uterine dilation, the endometrial lining is usually attenuated or atrophic and the wall of the uterus thinned due to the increasing pressure, but in less severe cases the endometrium can be normal (Figure 2).

  • The Functions of Uterine Secretions R
    Printed in Great Britain J. Reprod. Fert. (1988) 82,875-892 @ 1988 Journals of Reproduction & Fertility Ltd The functions of uterine secretions R. M. Roberts and F. W. Bazer Departments of Biochemistry and Animal Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211, U.S.A.; and Department of Animal Science, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, U.S.A. Summary. The likely functions of uterine secretions, often termed histotroph, in the nurture of the early conceptus are reviewed. Particular emphasis has been placed on the pig in which the uterus synthesizes and secretes large amounts of protein in response to progesterone. In this species, which possesses a non-invasive, diffuse type of epithelio- chorial placentation, the secretions provide a sustained embryotrophic environment which is distinct from that of serum. A group of basic proteins dominates these uterine secretions after Day 1 1 of pregnancy and its best characterized member is uteroferrin, an iron-containing acid phosphatase with a deep purple colour. Evidence has accumulated to suggest that uteroferrin, rather than functioning as an acid phosphatase, is involved in transporting iron to the conceptus. Three basic polypeptides which are found non- covalently associated with uteroferrin have been shown to be antigenically closely related to one another and to have arisen by post-translational processing from a common precursor molecule. Their function is unknown. A group of basic protease inhibitors has been identified which bear considerable sequence homology to bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (aprotinin) and may control intrauterine proteolytic events initiated by the conceptuses. The last basic protein so far characterized is lysozyme which is presumed to have an antibacterial role.

Histological and Histochemical Studies on the Oviduct of the Domestic Fowl with Special Reference to the Region of Uterovaginal Juncture. 鶏 の 卵 管, と く に 子 宮 と 腟 の 移 行 部 の 組 織 学 的 お よ び 組 織 化 学 的 研 究. Shunsaku FUJII 藤 井 俊 策. (Received May 30, 1963.) The histological structure of the oviduct of the domestic fowl has almost com- pletely been investigated by many workers, including SURFACE (1912), GIERSBERG (1921, 1922), FROBOSE (1928), BRADLEY (1928), and RICHARDSON (1935). SURFACE studied mainly the histological structure of the oviduct itself. RICHARD- SON observed in detail the function and histological s structure of the gland of the ovi- duct. At present, the oviduct is generally divided into five portions: the infundi- bulum or funnel, the magnum or albumen secreting portion, the isthmus, the uterus or shell-gland region, and the vagina. Each portion has its particular structure and physiological function for egg production. In addition, some workers have identified another portion as the region of juncture, where one type of mucosa intermingles with another type. For instance, GIERSBERG (1922) distinguished the cranial half of the infundibulum as the 'Trichter'and the caudal half as the 'Tube'. RICHARDSON, (1935)also subdivided the infundibulum into 'funnel'without glandsand the 'chalazi- ferous region'with glands, and insertedthe 'isthmo-uterineregion' between the isthmus and the uterus. In spite of such large number of histological observations as these, little has been reported on the histochemistry of the oviduct.

  • Cell Replacement and Differentiation in Transitional Epithelium: a Histological and Autoradiographic Study of the Guinea-Pig Bladder and Ureter B
    J. Anat. (1972), 112, 3, pp. 433-455 433 With 52 figures Printed in Great Britain Cell replacement and differentiation in transitional epithelium: a histological and autoradiographic study of the guinea-pig bladder and ureter B. F. MARTIN Department of Anatomy, University of Birmingham (Accepted 9 June 1972) INTRODUCTION Transitional epithelium occupies a position between the pseudostratified and truly stratified epithelia, and there has been much conjecture regarding the arrangement of the constituent cells, their behaviour during stretching of the epithelium, and the manner in which they undergo replacement and differentiation. In a previous study on the guinea-pig (Martin, 1962) it was concluded that there are essentially three layers of cells in the epithelium, namely, a layer of small basal cells, a middle or intermediate layer of pyriform cells, which vary in size and height but retain connexion with the basement membrane by long thin cytoplasmic pro- cesses, and a layer of surface cells which are of large size and often bi- or multi- nucleate. During distension, the stretched epithelium of both bladder and ureter retains the essentially three-layer state; the surface cells become flattened and thus increase their surface area, whilst the underlying cells are not only flattened but are displaced sideways and may lie almost parallel to the basement membrane (Martin, 1962; Petry & Amon, 1966). In contrast with stratified squamous epithelia, in which there is a rapid rate of cell replacement from the basal layer, study of cell kinetics in transitional epithelium has proved difficult. Mitotic figures are seldom seen in the adult bladder and very few cells are labelled in autoradiographs following the administration of [3H]thymidine (3H-T).
