Antigen-specific circulating immunoglobulin-secreting cells (ISC) migrate to various secondary and tertiary lymphoid tissues. To understand the migration of the cells into the genital tract and its regulation by sex hormones, spleen-derived SG2 hybridoma cells secreting immunoglobulin G2b (IgG2b) and Peyer's patch-derived PA4 hybridoma cells secreting polymer IgA were labelled with 3H-TdR, and intravenously injected into syngeneic mice of both sexes. Using flow cytometry, surface molecular markers of plasma cells, CD38 and CD138, and adhesion molecules, CD49d, CD162, and CD11a were found to be positive in SG2 and PA4 cells, but CD62L, alpha4beta7 and CD44 were not expressed on these cells. The relative distribution indexes (RDIs) of the cells in genital tract and other tissues were measured. The means of RDIs of SG2 and PA4 cells in female genital tissues were 6.5 and 4.5 times as many as the means in male genital tissues, respectively. The treatment of ovariectomized mice with beta-oestradiol significantly increased the RDIs of PA4 cells in cervix and vagina, but decreased the RDIs of SG2 cells in vagina, horn of uterus, uterus and rectum (P<0.05). Progesterone treatment increased the RDIs of PA4 cells in vagina and rectum (P<0.05). The treatment with testosterone significantly increased the RDIs of SG2 and PA4 cells in epididymis and accessory sex glands (P<0.05). These results demonstrate that the female genital tract is the preferable site for the migration of circulating hybridoma cells to the male genital tract, and sex hormones play an important role in regulation of the migration of circulating ISC to genital tracts.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is hormone related, as are cancers of the endometrium, ovary, and prostate. Several studies have suggested that higher extracellular levels of androgens are associated with breast cancer risk, while biological evidence indicates that androgens are protective. The codon 49 alanine to threonine substitution (A49T), codon 89 valine to leucine substitution (V89L) and TA repeat polymorphisms of the steroid 5alpha-reductase type II (SRD5A2) gene are considered functional with respect to enzyme activity converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. To test the hypothesis that these three polymorphisms are associated with risk of breast cancer, a case-control study was conducted with patients of Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. METHODS: The cases were 237 patients histologically diagnosed with breast cancer, and the controls were 185 noncancer outpatients. DNA from peripheral blood was genotyped by PCR methods. RESULTS: The threonine allele of A49T was not found in our subjects. Compared with the V/V genotype of V89L, the L/L genotype was associated with a decreased risk (crude odds ratio [OR] = 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.36-1.05). This was also the case for the TA(9/9) genotype, with an OR of 0.58 (95% CI = 0.13-2.63) relative to TA(0/0). Among women with the TA(0/0) genotype, however, the OR for the L/L genotype was 0.46 (95% CI = 0.24-0.88) compared with the V/V genotype, and those with the V/V and TA(0/0) genotypes had the highest risk. The haplotype with the L and TA(9) repeat alleles was not found. CONCLUSION: This study is the first to our knowledge focusing on Japanese women, suggesting that SRD5A2 polymorphisms might have an association with breast cancer risk. Further large-sample studies will be required to confirm the association and to assess any interactions with environmental factors.

TMEFF2 is an androgen-regulated gene exhibiting antiproliferative effects in prostate cancer cells.

We have identified a gene that is highly expressed in the androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP. Sequence analysis revealed that it was identical to a recently cloned gene designated TMEFF2, which encodes a transmembrane protein containing an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like motif and two follistatin domains. This gene was highly expressed only in primary samples of normal prostate and prostate cancer as well as normal brain. Expression of the gene was controlled by androgen as shown by dihydrotestosterone markedly increasing TMEFF2 expression in LNCaP cells. Also, androgen-dependent human prostate cancer xenografts (CWR22) expressed high levels of TMEFF2 and these levels markedly decreased by day 10 after castration of the mice. Furthermore, a large number of androgen-dependent xenografts (CWR22, LuCaP-35, LAPC-4AD, LAPC-9AD) exhibited higher levels of TMEFF2 mRNA than androgen-independent xenografts (CWR22R, LAPC-3AI, LAPC-4AI, LAPC-9AI). Ectopic expression of TMEFF2 in DU145 and PC3 cells resulted in their prominent inhibition of growth. Taken together, the results demonstrate that TMEFF2 is a androgen-regulated gene, which can suppress growth of prostate cancer cells and our xenograft data show that escape of prostate cancer cells from androgen modulation causes them to decrease their expression of this gene, which may result in their more malignant behavior.

Hypothalamic indolamines during embryonic development and effects of steroid exposure.

The serotonin system has been implicated in the modulation of endocrine and behavioral components of reproduction. In this study, we examined endogenous hypothalamic indolamines during sexual differentiation and long-term effects of exogenous steroids during this time. In Experiment 1, Japanese quail were studied during the last half of embryonic development and early post-hatch. Samples were taken at embryonic day 10 (E10), E12, E14, E16, hatch (day 0), and days 3 and 5, post-hatch. Hypothalamic indolamines, including serotonin (5-HT) and its metabolite, 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured by HPLC-EC detection. Females had relatively higher hypothalamic 5-HT at E14 than males, with both sexes showing increasing levels thereafter. By day 5, post-hatch, hypothalamic 5-HT content was higher in males than in females. When turnover was estimated by comparing relative concentrations of 5-HT to 5-HIAA, males were significantly higher at E12 and E14 than females. These data suggest that there are stage specific changes in the serotonin system, as well as sexually dimorphic patterns in the ontogeny and activity of this system. In Experiment 2, we investigated the effects of embryonic steroid hormone treatment on the serotonin system and on male sexual behavior. Birds were treated with either estradiol benzoate (EB), testosterone propionate (TP) or sesame oil (vehicle control) at selected embryonic days (E10, E12, E14, E16, 0, D3, and D5). At 4 weeks post-hatch, birds were transferred to short photoperiod (16D:8L) for 3 weeks to prevent photostimulated reproductive development. At 7 weeks of age, males were implanted with a 20mm silastic capsule filled with testosterone and sexual behavior was tested 1 week later. Brains were collected from both males and females, and preoptic area (POA) indolamines were measured. Steroid treatment at E10 or E12 resulted in the loss of male sexual behavior. Moreover, males treated with EB or TP on E12 also had increased POA 5-HT content as adults, compared to control males. Females treated with EB on either E10 or E 12 also had higher POA 5-HT content than control or TP treated females. These data provide evidence for sexual dimorphism in the hypothalamic 5-HT system at specific stages during embryonic development. Moreover, males were sensitive to exogenous EB and TP on E12, whereas females appeared to be affected by EB only and appeared to be sensitive to steroid effects over a longer period of time in development. Moreover, exogenous steroids at E12 in males also correlated with impaired sexual behavioral. These data suggest that long-term effects of embryonic steroid exposure may be mediated in part through effects on the serotonin neurotransmitter system.

Concerned about losing hair? Hair loss and baldness is indeed a visible problem, and could be more than just the matter of change in appearance.
Saw palmetto berry is a widely known herbal supplement for hair loss problems. However, there are a number of great anecdotal herbs that people used for thousands of years stop hair loss and start hair growth. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people who take it diligently. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs actually stop hair loss, and promote hair growth, No scientific research or placebo controlled clinical trials have been conducted. Nonetheless, a number of people agree that it works.
