Haploinsufficiency for Steroidogenic Factor 1 Affects Maternal Behavior in Mice
Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), officially designated NR5A1, is essential for gonadal and adrenal development and for the normal structure of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), as demonstrated by SF-1 knockout mice (SF-1 KO), but much less is known about the possible effects of haploinsufficiency of the SF-1 gene. In the present study, maternal behavior in SF-1 KO heterozygous mice was evaluat...
متن کاملHaploinsufficiency of steroidogenic factor-1 in mice disrupts adrenal development leading to an impaired stress response.
Adrenal steroids are essential for homeostasis and survival during severe physiological stress. Analysis of a patient heterozygous for the steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) gene suggested that reduced expression of this nuclear receptor leads to adrenal failure. We therefore examined SF-1 heterozygous (+/-) mice as a potential model for delineating mechanisms underlying this disease. Here we show t...
متن کاملInvolvement of Mice Hippocampus Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor in Diazinon-induced Depressive Behavior in Mice
Background: Diazinon (Dzn), an Organophosphorus (OP) pesticide, is extensively used in agriculture. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition is linked to OP toxicity, and there are major mental health concerns associated with the use of pesticides. The objective of this study was to assess the depressive behavior in an animal model following their exposure to Dzn and the effect on the Brain-Derived Neur...
متن کاملSteroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) is essential for pituitary gonadotrope function.
Knockout mice lacking the orphan nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) exhibit a complex endocrine phenotype that includes adrenal and gonadal agenesis, impaired expression of pituitary gonadotropins, and absence of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH). These multiple defects complicate efforts to delineate primary versus secondary effects of SF1 deficiency in different tissues, ...
متن کاملSteroidogenic factor-1 hypermethylation in maternal rat blood could serve as a biomarker for intrauterine growth retardation
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is a common obstetric complication lacking an optimal method for prenatal screening. DNA methylation profile in maternal blood holds significant promise for prenatal screening. Here, we aimed to screen out potential IUGR biomarkers in maternal blood from the perspective of DNA methylation. The IUGR rat model was established by prenatal maternal undernutrit...
