Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Estrogen induces oocytes development and vitellogenesis in crustacean by interacting with estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes. In the present study, we detect for the first time the ERα in oocytes and follicle cells and hepatopancreas cells of mysis by immunohistochemistry using a specific ERα antibody. ERα was mainly localized in the nuclei of oocytes and follicle cells, while mainly detected in nuclei of oogonia (OG), previtellogenic oocyte (PR) and endogenous vitellogenic oocyte (EN) at previtellogenic and early vitellogenic stage (I-early III). Follicle cells in all stages of ovary (all vitellogenic stages) showed strong ERα positive reaction, and they were able to gradually move to oocytes during the development of oocytes. In addition, ERα was also localized in the nuclei and cytoplasm of four hepatopancreas cells (including E-, R-, F- and B-cell) in all ovary stages. These findings suggest, for the first time to our knowledge, that there could be a close link between oogenesis, follicle cells, hepatopancreas cells and endocrine regulation, and estrogens might be involved in the regulation of oocytes at early ovarian stage in mysis.
