- W4319439806 abstract "Background: Testosterone is the predominant sex hormone in men and is increased in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. These patients also experience an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases including hypertension and arterial stiffness. Since our previous work shows an important role for the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in arterial stiffness, we hypothesized that other hormones including androgens may impact arterial stiffness in female mice via regulation of GPER. Methods: The impact of the non-aromatizable androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the glucocorticoid dexamethasone, and the progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (all 100 nM for 24 h) on GPER and ERα expression was assessed in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). To assess the in vivo impact of the DHT-induced downregulation of GPER, female ovary-intact C57Bl/6 mice were treated with silastic capsules containing DHT for 4 weeks, one with a dosage expected to mimic human male DHT levels and another to double the expected human concentration (n=8-9/group). Results: GPER mRNA was only decreased by DHT (P=0.001), while ERα expression was significantly suppressed by all hormones (P<0.0001). While blood pressure was not different between groups (P= 0.59), there was a dose-dependent increase in body weight (control 22±2 g, single dose 24±2 g, double dose 26±2 g; P=0.0002). Intracarotid stiffness measured via pulse wave velocity showed a more than two-fold increase in both DHT-treated groups (control 1.9±0.3 m/s, single dose 4.3±0.8 m/s, double dose 4.8±1.0 m/s). Histological analysis of aortic sections using Masson's trichrome showed a significant decrease in collagen between the control group (24 ± 5%) and the double dose group (17 ± 3%, P=0.007), despite no changes in aortic wall thickness or smooth muscle content. Lastly, ddPCR showed that in vivo DHT treatment decreased aortic expression of both GPER (control 20±5, single dose 10.5 ± 5.6, double dose 10±4 copies/ng; P=0.001) and ERα (control 54±2, single dose 24±13, and double dose 23 ± 12 copies/ng; P=0.003). Conclusions: These findings indicate that testosterone promotes arterial stiffening and cardiovascular damage in female mice and is associated with decreased estrogen receptor expression. These data are important not only for polycystic ovarian syndrome patients but also women using testosterone for fitness, gender transitioning, or reduced libido." @default.
