精巢间质细胞雄激素合成及其调节的研究进展

本文综述了近年来精巢间质细胞雄激素的合成及其分泌调节的研究进展。间质细胞内的雄激素合成的限速步骤是胆固醇转化为孕烯醇酮时的胆固醇跨线粒体膜转运。在此转运过程中，PBR可能是作为依赖于配体的通道蛋白，对胆固醇分子进行跨膜转移；StAR则通过解离线粒体膜与胆固醇分子的吸附作用，加速了胆固醇分子的转运。雄激素的合成还受垂体、支持细胞、巨噬细胞和其自身分泌激素和细胞因子的调控。同时对今后研究的方向做了总结和展望。     

Immunorecognition of estrogen and androgen receptors in the brain and thoracic ganglion mass of mud crab, Scylla paramamosain

The brain and the thoracic ganglion of a crustacean can synthesize and secrete gonad-stimulating hormone (GSH) which stimulates the maturation of gonad. In the previous experiments, sex steroid hormones (estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, etc.) have been detected from the crustacean. However, the feedback regulation of sex steroid hormones on the brain and the thoracic ganglion of the crustacean has not been reported so far. In the present experiment, monoclonal antibodies were applied to investigate the immunorecognition of estrogen receptor (ER) and androgen receptor (AR) in the brain and the thoracic ganglion mass of Scylla paramamosain. The results showed that the distribution of the immunopositive substances of ER and AR was extremely similar. They distributed in the protocerebrum, deutocerebrum and tritocerebrum of the brain, and mainly in protocerebrum. In the thoracic ganglion mass, immunopositive substances distributed in the subesophageal ganglion, thoracic ganglion and abdominal ganglion, and mostly in subesophageal ganglion. Immunopositive substances of ER and AR mostly existed in the cytoplasm of neurons. The present study will provide morphological evidence for the origin and the evolution of ER and AR. In addition, the immunoreactivities of ER and AR suggested that the estrogen and androgen may be involved in the feedback regulation of crustacean neuroendocrine.
