Methotrexate (MTX) is believed to exert both antiproliferative and antiinflammatory effects in a dose-related manner in a majority of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients along with an abrupt flare of the disease after drug discontinuation. To investigate the antiproliferative and antiinflammatory actions of MTX and the combined action of sex hormones, we evaluated these effects in differentiated monocytic myeloid cells (THP-1) prestimulated with testosterone (T) or 17-beta estradiol (E2). The effects of MTX and T combined treatment (T/MTX) on THP-1 cells showed a significant inhibition of cell proliferation when compared with E2/MTX- treated cells or controls: 53% at 72 h versus E2-treated cells; 58% at 96 h versus E2-treated cells; and 41% versus controls, respectively. Bax and Fas CD95 expression was found increased in T-treated cells: 14% T at 48 h vs. E(2)-treated cells and controls; 45% T at 72 h versus E2-treated cells and controls; 97% at 96 h versus E2-treated cells and 37% versus controls for Bax: 33%, 41%, and 42% T versus E2-treated cells for Fas. Moreover, a significant decrease of IL-12 levels in T/MTX treated cells was found at any time when compared to E2-treated cells. In summary, the association of testosterone and MTX compared to MTX alone suggests possible synergistic actions. Therefore, the enhancing antiinflammatory effects exerted by androgens might represent a further explanation for the reduced frequency of inflammatory diseases in male subjects.

Temporal difference between testis and ovary determinations with possible involvement of testosterone and aromatase in gonadal differentiation in TSD lacking lizard, Calotes versicolor.

In the garden lizard, Calotes versicolor, which lacks identifiable sex chromosomes, incubation temperature also does not have a deterministic effect on the gender. However, the embryos reared at high temperature (33-35 degrees C) have a shorter duration of incubation as well as gonadal differentiation. In contrast, exogenous application of the male hormone testosterone to embryos at ambient temperature (28 degrees C) results in almost all individuals with only testis. Thus the testosterone treatment reverts genic females to males and accelerates the differentiation of testis, a feature similar to the high-temperature treatment. Treatment of eggs with estradiol shows no difference from that seen in the untreated eggs. The present series of experiments was done to establish the "window" of testosterone sensitivity and to understand the interaction between sex hormones and high temperature on gonadal differentiation. The period between day 5 and 15 of embryonic development was the window period of testosterone sensitivity for sex reversal. This period coincided with the formation of the genital ridge and its differentiation into cortex and medulla. Treatment of the 33 degrees C-reared embryos with testosterone resulted in hatchlings of both the sexes, in contrast to only males at the ambient temperature. In contrast, at the same temperature (33 degrees C), all the dihydrotestosterone (nonaromatisable testosterone)-treated embryos hatched into males. However, those given estradiol showed no sex bias regardless of the day of application and the concentration of drug. Eggs were also treated with aromatase inhibitor, CGS 16949 A, at ambient temperature and at 33 degrees C. All the 33 degrees C eggs to which the drug was given on day 25 hatched into males. These results suggest that though high temperature has no direct effect on sex determination in this species, it may have a stimulatory effect on aromatase activity, leading to the conversion of the exogenously applied testosterone into estradiol and permitting ovarian differentiation in the genic females. It also follows from the present report that the pathway of testis formation in Calotes versicolor is triggered much earlier, and irreversibly, than that for the ovary.

Melatonin participates in the control of testosterone secretion from rat testis: an overview of our experience.

Valenti S, Giusti M.

The androgen milieu plays an important role in the control of immunity, and melatonin (MLT) is known to modulate the immune response as well. Our recent studies have focused on the role of MLT in controlling androgen secretion from rat testis. The presence of MLT receptors, their modulation, and the effect of MLT on steroidogenesis have been studied on Percoll-purified rat Leydig cells (LCs) cultured in vitro. MLT receptors present in adult rat LCs (B(max) = 46.7 +/- 3.5 fmol/mg protein; K(d) = 88.7 +/- 6.2 pmol/l) are coupled through a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein and are downregulated by prolonged exposure to MLT itself. When acutely added for three hours, MLT (0.4-400 nM) inhibits T secretion in response to LH, forskolin, and GnRH, but sensitizes cAMP-dependent T secretion when present in the preincubation media (16 h). The acute inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and the block of 17-20-desmolase (with increased 17-OH-progesterone) and of calcium release from the intracellular stores, followed by sensitization of the adenylyl cyclase activity in the long term, are described as mechanisms of MLT action. Ultimately, our studies suggest that MLT is likely to control the immune response not only through its direct effects, but also by finely modulating the androgen milieu.

Adult patients with rheumatic arthritis and other rheumatic disorders show inappropriate cortisol secretion and peculiar CRH promoter gene polymorphisms. So far, no data are available about this topic in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We have studied a series of 13 prepubertal patients (10 female, 3 male) affected with oligoarticular JIA (o-JIA) without clinical and biological signs of disease activity (ESR and IL-6). ACTH plasma concentrations were significantly increased at 8 a.m. in o-JIA patients, whereas no differences were found in cortisol plasma concentrations. The ACTH/cortisol ratio was significantly increased in o-JIA patients with respect to the normal population both at 8 a.m. and at noon. DHEAS and testosterone plasma concentration did not statistically differ in the two populations. The genetic study was aimed at defining the prevalence of polymorphisms A1 and A2 in o-JIA patients, but we failed to find allelic or genotypic differences. Our study suggests the presence of a partial resistance to ACTH with a dysregulated pattern of secretion also in inactive o-JIA patients. These preliminary data need further confirmation in larger pediatric studies.

Like developmental biology of any part of our body, hair growth is a complicated process. Hence the homework for modern science to yet unravel the process and mechanism to a completion. There exist a number of traditional and alternative therapeutic methods that include drugs, surgery, suppelements, and even snake oils that have been developed and used for those who lose hair. No understanding, and there is no solution. Of course, none of these approaches are perfect for all hair loss problems, especially due to the heterogeneity of the causes underlying hair losses. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
