Species-specific expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 and cyclooxygenases in male monkey reproductive organs.
We investigated the tissue distribution and cellular localization of microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 in male monkey reproductive organs. Western blotting revealed that monkey mPGES-1 was expressed most intensely in the seminal vesicles, moderately in the testis, and weakly in the epididymis and vas deferens. The tissue distribution profile was quite different from those profiles for rats, rabbits, and pigs, e.g., rat mPGES-1 was the most abundant in the vas deferens, and the rabbit and pig enzymes, in the testis. Immunohistochemical staining with mouse monoclonal anti-human mPGES-1 antibody revealed that monkey mPGES-1 was localized in spermatogonia, Sertoli cells, and primary spermatocytes of testis and in epithelial cells of the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles. In monkeys, COX-1 was localized in epithelial cells of the epididymis and vas deferens, whereas COX-2 was dominantly found in epithelial cells of the seminal vesicles.M Lazarus, N Eguchi, S Matsumoto, N Nagata, T Yano, G J Killian, Y Urade
