Abstract

Epithelial proliferation of the ventral prostate in rodents peaks between 2 and 4 weeks of age, and by week 8, proliferating cells are rare. We have used ERβ −/− and CYP7B1 −/− mice to investigate the role of ERβ and one of its ligands, 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol (3βAdiol), in growth of the ventral prostate. Before puberty, ERβ was found in quiescent but not in proliferating cells, and proliferating cells occurred more frequently in ventral prostates of ERβ −/− mice than in wild-type littermates. Treatment with 3βAdiol decreased proliferation in wild-type but not in ERβ −/− mice. In rats, treatment with 3βAdiol from postnatal day 2 to 28 resulted in reduction in growth of ventral prostates. The prostates of CYP7B1 −/− mice were hypoproliferative before puberty and smaller than those of their wild-type littermates after puberty. Because CYP7B1 represents the major pathway for inactivating 3βAdiol in the prostate, we suggest that ERβ, 3βAdiol, and CYP7B1 are the components of a pathway that regulates growth of the rodent ventral prostate. In this pathway, ERβ is an antiproliferative receptor, 3βAdiol is an ERβ ligand, and CYP7B1 is the enzyme that regulates ERβ function by regulating the level of 3βAdiol.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
