    Immunoreactive cytochrome P-45017\g=a\in rat and guinea- pig gonads, adrenal glands and brain C. Le Goascogne1, N. Sanan\l=e'\s1, M. Gou\l=e'\zou1, S. Takemori2, S. Kominami2, E. E. Baulieu1 and P. Robel1 1INSERM U33, Communications Hormonales, and Faculté de Médecine, Université Paris-sud, Lab Hormones F-94275 Bicêtre Cedex France 2 Faculty of Integrated Arts and Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 730, Japan Summary. The cytochrome P-45017\g=a\-hydroxylase, 17\ar=r\20lyase (P-45017\g=a\) is the key enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of androgens in steroidogenic organs. Its cellular localization has been examined with an immunohistochemical technique. In immature rat ovary, P-45017\g=a\was first detected in sparse interstitial cells on postnatal Day 8. The number of immunoreactive interstitial cells increased thereafter and the intensity of P-45017\g=a\staining in these cells was highest at 3 weeks of age. The intensity of staining then started to decline and was very faint at Day 35. From 6 weeks on, the distribution of immunoreactive P-45017\g=a\was of the adult type: it was detected exclusively in the thecal cells of the large antral, preovulatory, follicles. P-45017\g=a\was not detectable during pregnancy except on the day of parturition, when thecal cells were transiently immunoreactive. The staining had vanished 24 h after delivery. Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), injected into immature females on Days 24 to 26, induced P-45017\g=a\prematurely in thecal cells. When injected on Days 12 to 14 of pregnancy, hCG also induced P-45017\g=a\in the thecal cells surrounding the largest follicles, whereas the interstitial and luteal cells were not immunostained.

  • PKA Signaling Drives Reticularis Differentiation and Sexually Dimorphic Adrenal Cortex Renewal
    PKA signaling drives reticularis differentiation and sexually dimorphic adrenal cortex renewal Typhanie Dumontet, … , Pierre Val, Antoine Martinez JCI Insight. 2018;3(2):e98394. https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.98394. Research Article Development Endocrinology The adrenal cortex undergoes remodeling during fetal and postnatal life. How zona reticularis emerges in the postnatal gland to support adrenarche, a process whereby higher primates increase prepubertal androgen secretion, is unknown. Using cell-fate mapping and gene deletion studies in mice, we show that activation of PKA has no effect on the fetal cortex, while it accelerates regeneration of the adult cortex, triggers zona fasciculata differentiation that is subsequently converted into a functional reticularis-like zone, and drives hypersecretion syndromes. Remarkably, PKA effects are influenced by sex. Indeed, testicular androgens increase WNT signaling that antagonizes PKA, leading to slower adrenocortical cell turnover and delayed phenotype whereas gonadectomy sensitizes males to hypercorticism and reticularis-like formation. Thus, reticularis results from ultimate centripetal conversion of adult cortex under the combined effects of PKA and cell turnover that dictate organ size. We show that PKA-induced progenitor recruitment is sexually dimorphic and may provide a paradigm for overrepresentation of women in adrenal diseases.

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Sexually Dimorphic Adrenal Cortex: Implications for Adrenal Disease Rodanthi Lyraki * and Andreas Schedl * Université Côte d’Azur, Inserm, CNRS, Institut de Biologie Valrose, 06108 Nice, France * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.L.); [email protected] (A.S.); Tel.: +33-48915-0730 (R.L.) Abstract: Many adrenocortical diseases are more prevalent in women than in men, but the reasons underlying this sex bias are still unknown. Recent studies involving gonadectomy and sex hormone replacement experiments in mice have shed some light onto the molecular basis of sexual dimorphism in the adrenal cortex. Indeed, it has been shown that gonadal hormones influence many aspects of adrenal physiology, ranging from stem cell-dependent tissue turnover to steroidogenesis and X-zone dynamics. This article reviews current knowledge on adrenal cortex sexual dimorphism and the potential mechanisms underlying sex hormone influence of adrenal homeostasis. Both topics are expected to contribute to personalized and novel therapeutic approaches in the future.
