Optimized Mouse-on-mouse Immunohistochemical Detection of Mouse ESR2 Proteins with PPZ0506 Monoclonal Antibody.

Despite the physiological significance of ESR2, a lack of well-validated detection systems for ESR2 proteins has hindered progress in ESR2 research. Thus, recent identification of a specific anti-human ESR2 monoclonal antibody (PPZ0506) and its specific cross-reactivity against mouse and rat ESR2 proteins heightened momenta toward development of appropriate immunohistochemical detection systems for rodent ESR2 proteins. Building upon our previous optimization of ESR2 immunohistochemical detection in rats using PPZ0506, in this study, we further aimed to optimize mouse-on-mouse immunohistochemical detection using PPZ0506. Our assessment of several staining conditions using paraffin-embedded ovary sections revealed that intense heat-induced antigen retrieval, appropriate blocking, and appropriate antibody dilutions were necessary for optimization of mouse-on-mouse immunohistochemistry. Subsequently, we applied the optimized immunostaining method to determine expression profiles of mouse ESR2 proteins in peripheral tissues and brain subregions. Our analyses revealed more localized distribution of mouse ESR2 proteins than previously assumed. Moreover, comparison of these results with those obtained in humans and rats using PPZ0506 revealed interspecies differences in ESR2 expression. We expect that our optimized methodology for immunohistochemical staining of mouse ESR2 proteins will help researchers to solve multiple lines of controversial evidence concerning ESR2 expression.

Applicability of Anti-Human Estrogen Receptor β Antibody PPZ0506 for the Immunodetection of Rodent Estrogen Receptor β Proteins.

Several lines of controversial evidence concerning estrogen receptor β (ERβ) remain to be solved because of the unavailability of specific antibodies against ERβ. The recent validation analysis identified a monoclonal antibody (PPZ0506) with sufficient specificity against human ERβ. However, the specificity and cross-reactivity of PPZ0506 antibody against ERβ proteins from laboratory animals have not been confirmed. In the present study, we aimed to validate the applicability of PPZ0506 to rodent studies. The antibody exhibited specific cross-reactivity against mouse and rat ERβ proteins in immunoblot and immunocytochemical experiments using transfected cells. In immunohistochemistry for rat tissue sections, PPZ0506 showed immunoreactive signals in the ovary, prostate, and brain. These immunohistochemical profiles of rat ERβ proteins in rat tissues accord well with its mRNA expression patterns. Although the antibody was reported to show the moderate signals in human testis, no immunoreactive signals were observed in rat testis. Subsequent RT-PCR analysis revealed that this species difference in ERβ expression resulted from different expression profiles related to the alternative promoter usage between humans and rats. In conclusion, we confirmed applicability of PPZ0506 for rodent ERβ studies, and our results provide a fundamental basis for further examination of ERβ functions.

Differential expression of estrogen receptors (ERalpha/ERbeta) in testis of mature and immature pigs.

High affinity estrogen receptors (ERs) mediate estrogen action in male reproductive tissues. The objective of the present study was the immunolocalization of estrogen receptor alpha and estrogen receptor beta in immature and mature testes of pig, a species in which the role of estrogens on gonadal function is scarcely known. Testes from 3 and 18 month-old pigs were investigated. Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin embedded-tissues using both mouse anti-human monoclonal IgG ERalpha and IgG ERbeta 1 isoform. Western blot analysis demonstrated antibody specificity. ERalpha staining was not observed in immature testes, but it was detected in spermatogonia, spermatocytes and in the most Leydig cells of mature testes. ERbeta immunoreactivity was observed in spermatogonia and Leydig cells of immature gonads, while it was clearly detected in spermatogonia and in spermatocytes of adult pig testes. The differential ERalpha/ERbeta expression in germ and somatic cells of the gonads suggest a role of estrogens in function and in development of pig testis.

Immunolocalization of estrogen receptor beta in the epididymis of mature and immature pigs.

A growing body of evidence suggests a role of estrogens in the male reproduction via their specific estrogen receptors (ERalpha/ERbeta). Estrogen receptor distribution along the genital tract tissues has been described in different species, but it is unknown in the pig. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to localize ERbeta in the epididymis of mature and immature pigs (aged 2 and 18 months, respectively). Immunohistochemistry was carried out on paraffin-embedded tissues using a mouse anti-human monoclonal IgG against ERbeta as the primary antibody, and a goat anti-mouse biotinylated IgG as the secondary antibody. Avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex was then applied followed by diaminobenzidine. In immature pigs, the epithelial cells from the caput, corpus and cauda epididymis showed no or very weak immunoreactivity for ERbeta, whereas they were all strongly immmunoreactive in mature pigs. A various intensity of immunostaining from weak to strong in the smooth muscle cells as well as in the connective tissue cells were detected in the epididymis of both, young and adult pigs. This is the first report on the cellular localization of ERbeta protein in porcine epidydimis. The present study demonstrated that (1) irrespectively of the epididymal region, the epithelial cells of caput, corpus and cauda epididymis of mature pigs revealed a strong immunoreactivity for ERbeta, and (2) ERbeta expression in the epididymal epithelium is regulated by puberty. Finally, although the biological activity of ERbeta has not yet been established, the results of the present study suggest its involvement in estrogen modulation of pig epididymal function.
