- W2022288251 abstract "Cortisol, produced by the primate fetal adrenal, regulates the maturation of organ systems necessary for extrauterine life. During most of primate pregnancy, however, the fetal adrenal lacks the enzyme 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase (3 beta HSD), which is essential for cortisol synthesis. Therefore, we used immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques to investigate the developmental expression of 3 beta HSD in the fetal rhesus monkey adrenal from 109 days' gestation until term (165 +/- 5 days) and assessed the role of ACTH in the induction of its expression and localization. We also examined whether ACTH regulates the expression of two other steroidogenic enzymes, cytochrome P450 cholesterol side-chain cleavage (P450scc) and P450 17 alpha-hydroxylase, 17/20-lyase (P450c17), in the fetal rhesus monkey adrenal. To stimulate ACTH secretion from the fetal pituitary in vivo, we administered metyrapone to late gestation fetal rhesus monkeys for 3-7 days. Adrenals were collected from untreated fetuses at 109-125 days (n = 5), 130-148 days (n = 7), 155-172 days (n = 4), and after metyrapone treatment at 135-137 days (n = 4). The cortical width and total amount of 3 beta HSD staining were measured using an image analysis system. 3 beta HSD was localized primarily in the definitive zone cells of the adrenal from fetuses between 109-148 days, whereas at term (155-172 days), 3 beta HSD was localized in both definitive and transitional zone cells. The cortical width and total amount of 3 beta HSD staining in the adrenal increased significantly (P < 0.05) between 148 days (137 +/- 14 microns and 3,689 +/- 522 grains) and 155 days (315 +/- 61 microns and 7,321 +/- 2,008 grains). Interestingly, in metyrapone-treated fetuses at 135-137 days, 3 beta HSD messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein were localized extensively in both the definitive and transitional zones, a pattern seen only in term fetal adrenals in untreated animals. In addition, metyrapone treatment significantly (P < 0.05) increased cortical width (386 +/- 95 microns) and total 3 beta HSD immunostaining (29,063 +/- 13,692 grains) compared with age-matched controls. In contrast to 3 beta HSD, P450scc mRNA was detected in the definitive, transitional, and fetal zones, and its expression was not altered after metyrapone treatment. P450c17 mRNA was detected in the transitional and fetal zones, and the relative abundance was greater in the transitional zone. The relative abundance of P450c17 mRNA was increased in the fetal zone after metyrapone treatment. In summary, at term or after metyrapone treatment, expression of 3 beta HSD is induced in the transitional zone of the fetal rhesus monkey adrenal gland, an indication of functional maturation of the primate adrenal cortex. These data suggest that the ontogenetic increase in fetal pituitary ACTH secretion plays an important role in the induction of 3 beta HSD expression in the transitional zone." @default.
