The sex steroid hormone estradiol-$17{\beta}(E_2)$ mediate their biological effects on development, differentiation and maintenance of reproductive tract and other target tissue through gene regulation by nuclear steroid receptors. Although the importance of $E_2$ in many physiological process has been reported, but little is known about the effects of $E_2$ on primary cultured chicken hepatocyte. therefore, in the present study, we have examined the effect of $E_2$ on cell proliferation and it's related signal cascades. $E_2$ increase $[^3H]$-thymidine incorporation in time-(${\leq}8hr$) and dose-($10^{-10}M$)dependent manner and treatment of $E_2$ increased the phosphorylation of p44/43 MAPKs(p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase) and JNK(c-Jun N-terminal kinase) in a time dependent manner. In addition, PD98059(p44/42 blocker, $10^{-5}M$), SP600125(JNK blocker, $10^{-6}M$) blocked the estrogen-induced increase in $[^3H]$-thymidine incorporation. In conclusion, $E_2$ stimulates the proliferation of primary cultured chicken hepatocytes and this action is mediated by p44/42 MAPKs and JNK signal transduction pathway.

This study was carried out to find out the changes on serum concentrations of estradiol-17$\beta$, progesterone in primiparous Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire sows weaned at 7 or 21 days. Also, we compared the litter size at birth and weaning among the breeds weaned after lactation for 7 or 21 days. The estradiol-17$\beta$ concentrations among the breeds were 6.9∼8.8 pg/ml and 6.4∼8.8 pg/ml after lactation for 7 or 21 days, respectively. The progesterone concentrations ranged from 0.3 ng/ml to 1.6 ng/ml. Duroc sow showed higher progesterone concentration compared with Landrace and Yorkshire sows weaned after lactation for 7 or 21 days. Also, we found out that litter size at birth and weaning, respectively, did not show any differences between day 7 and day 21 of lactation. From the facts mentioned above, it was suggested that very early weaning systems could work with no apparent adverse effect on prolificacy.

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotection effect of estrogen on brain atrophy following cerebral infarction. Method : All animals in this study were classified into 4 groups; ovariectomy group (OVXgroup), cerebral infarction group (INF group), combination ovariectomy and cerebral infarction group (OVX + INF group), and naturally intact group for control data (NOR group). Cerebral infarction was made by Chen's method with some modification. Ovariectomy was performed by Wayforth's method. Experimental data for each group was collected at 15 days, month, 3 months, and 6 months after starting observation. Serum $17{\beta}-estradiol(E2)$ was determined by radioimmunoassay. Brain volume was measured and calculated with image analysis. Each brain was sliced at intervals of 2mm in chamber after 30 min of freezing in refregerater. Cerebral volume was obtained by sum of volume of each slice level, which was mean $area{\;}{\times}{\;}2mm$. Results : Cerebral ischemia was found to decrease the serum concentration of $17{\beta}-{\;}estradiol(E2)$ and to inhibit the physiologically conpensatary function of the ovariectomized rats. Also we found that deprivation of estrogen have resulted in more severe cerebral atrophy followed by cerebral infarction. Conclusion : It is suggested that estrogen has a neuroprotection effect on cerebral atrophy following cerebral infarction.

The aim of this study was to investigate expression patterns of the prolactin (PRL) and c-fos genes by 17$\beta$-estradiol (17$\beta$-E) and stress in the mouse pituitary. In the pituitary, the levels of PRL mRNA were found high with some fluctuation at 30, 50, and 90 min whereas the levels of PRL mRNA were low at 120 min when ovariectomized female mice were injected with 17$\beta$-E or vehicle. PRL mRNA levels began to increase again at 4 h and remained high up to 24 h only in the 17$\beta$-E- treated mice. The overall changes in c-fos mRNA by 17$\beta$-E were very similar to those in PRL mRNA in the pituitary. Subsequent study revealed that these high initial levels of PRL and c-fos mRNAs were caused by stress during Injection, not by 17$\beta$-E, since vehicle injection alone into the ovariectomized mice could increase the levels of PRL and c-fos mRNAs. The stress-induced elevations of PRL and c-fos mRNAs were inhibited by bromocriptin, a dopamine agonist, suggesting that the dopaminergic system is involved in the action route of injection stress. In addition, the induced levels of c-fos mRNA by 17$\beta$-E and stress in the pituitary were very low compared with those in the uterus. The time course changes in c-fos mRNA level were different between the pituitary and uterus. Taken together, these data indicate that PRL and c-tos gene expression in the pituitary are regulated by 17$\beta$-E and stress in a parallel manner, supporting the notion that c-Fos plays a role in regulation of PRL gene expression.

Aptamer is the single-stranded oligonucleotide which binds to various target molecules such as proteins, peptides, lipids and small organic molecules with high affinity and specificity. DNA aptamers specific for the $17{\beta}-estradiol$ were selected by SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) process from a random DNA library. These DNA aptamers have a high affinity to $17{\beta}-estradiol$ as an endocrine disrupting chemical. Nanowell and $200{\mu}m$ gold electrode were used as substrate for DNA aptamer immobilization and electrochemical analysis. Especially, nanowell gold electrode was fabricated by e-beam lithography. The size of single nanowell is 130nm and 40,000 nanowells were deposited on one gold electrode. The immobilization method was based on the interaction between the biotinylated aptamer and streptavidin deposited on gold electrode previously. Immobilization procedure was optimized by surface plasma resonance (SPR) and electrochemical analysis. After the immobilization of DNA aptamer on streptavidin modified gold electrode, $17{\beta}-estradiol$ solution was treated on aptamer immobilized gold electrode. The current of gold electrode was decreased by the binding of $17{\beta}-estradiol$ to DNA aptamer immobilized on gold electrode. However, in negative control experiments of 1-aminoanthraquinone and 2-methoxynaphthalene, the current was rarely decreased. And more sensitive data was obtained from nanowell gold electrode comparing with $200{\mu}m$ gold electrode.

The present study has been carried out to elucidate the antiestrogenic effects of tamoxifen on RNA and protein synthesis in uteri of immature rats. Immature female Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into 4 groups and injected with $5{\mu}g$ of estradiol-$17{\beta}$, $50{\mu}g$ of tamoxifen, a combination of both, or vehicle only subcutaneously three times with an interval of 24 hours respectively. The specific activities of $^3H$-uridine incorporation into uterine RNA and those of $^3H$-leucine incorporation into uterine protein were measured before and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the above treatments. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. Tamoxifen itself increased RNA synthesis an hour after treatment(169.18% of control), but it's specific activity was reduced to control level after 3 hours. Tamoxifen inhibited significantly (p<0.01) the activity of RNA synthesis of estradiol-$17{\beta}$. 2. The increasing rate of protein synthesis was lower in tamoxifen treated group than that in estradiol-$17{\beta}$ treated group. While the rate was steadily increased up to 357.4% of control by estradiol-$17{\beta}$ in 72 hours, tamoxifen itself failed to increase the rate after 24 hours and significantly (p<0.01) inhibited the activity of estradiol-$17{\beta}$(-167.4%).

Vitellogenin은 어류의 난황 단백질의 전구체 물질로서 암컷 혈청에서 발견되는 단백질이며, 외부에서 에스트로겐이나 내분비계장애물질에 노출된 경우에는 수컷이나 미성숙한 암컷에서도 이의 합성이 촉진되는 것으로 보고되었다. 따라서 수컷에서 유도되는 vitellogenin은 외인성 에스트로겐 물질에 노출되었음을 암시하는 중요한 지표로 인정되고 있다. Vitellogenin에 대한 항체를 생산하기 위하여 잉어의 vitellogenin 서열 중의 일부분에 대한 peptide를 합성한 후 그 합성 peptide에 대한 항체를 제작하였다. 그리고 $17{\beta}$-estradiol을 주입한 잉어의 혈청에서 DE-52 이온 교환 크로마토그래피를 사용하여 vitellogenin을 정제한 후 이에 대한 항체를 제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 상기의 합성 vitellogenin peptide에 대하여 제작한 다클론 항체와 vitellogenin 단백질에 대한 다클론 항체가 추후 에스트로겐의 지표로 사용될 수 있는 지를 조사하고자 항체의 반응성을 조사하였다. 정제하여 얻은 vitellogenin에 대한 다클론 항체는 Western blotting 시 $17{\beta}$-estradiol을 주입한 잉어의 혈청과 암컷 잉어의 혈청에 있는 vitellogenin과 반응한 반면에 vitellogenin peptide에 대한 다클론 항체는 이들과 반응하지 않았다. 이는 공유결합적으로 많은 변형이 일어난 vitellogenin 단백질은 vitellogenin 합성 펩타이드에 대한 항체로는 검출되지 않음을 나타낸다.

The Present study has been carried out to elucidate the antiestrogenic effects of tamoxifen in uteri of immature rats. Immature female Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into 4, groups and injected with $5{\mu}g$ of estradiol-$17{\beta}$, $50{\mu}g$ of tamoxifen, a combination of both or vehicle only subcutaneously three times after an interval of 24 hours respectively. The concentrations, of cytosol estradiol receptor in uterus were measured by DCC method before and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the above treatments and those of nuclear estradiol were measured by protamine exchange method 72 hours and those of nuclear estradiol were measured by protamine exchange method 72 hours after the above treatments. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The binding affinity of tamoxifen to estradiol receptor in uterine cytosol was lower than that of estradiol-$17{\beta}$, accordingly the translocation of estradiol receptor into the nucleus was found to be delayed. 2. Tamoxifen caused the retention of estradiol receptor in nucleus over 24 hours and inhibited the replenishment of the receptor from nucleus to cytosol in uterus.
