چکیده انگلیسی
The aim of this study was to describe the presence of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) in several vaginal histological compartments in healthy adult bitches throughout three estrous cycle stages (proestrus, estrus, and early diestrus) and to relate ERα presence with serum progesterone and estradiol-17β concentrations. For this purpose, serial blood samples and vaginal biopsies were taken from five bitches every 48 hours, starting at the clinical onset of proestrus, marked by the beginning of serosanguineous vaginal secretion. Serum progesterone and estradiol-17β concentrations were determined by RIA, whereas detection of steroid receptors was carried out through immunohistochemistry. Subjective image analysis was conducted by two independent observers in the following histological compartments: superficial, intermediate, and deep epithelia and superficial (loose) and deep (dense) stroma (connective tissue). Nuclear ERα immunoreactivity was detected in every histological compartment and estrous cycle stage studied. ERα expression varied among histological compartments and during stages of the cycle. Receptor expression was associated with estradiol-17β and progesterone serum profiles. Most relevant cyclic changes were detected in the superficial and deep epithelia and in the dense connective tissue. The highest ERα expression was detected during diestrus, although each compartment had a different pattern throughout the other cycle stages. Thus, vaginal ERα expression in the bitch varied throughout proestrus, estrus, and early diestrus according to the histological compartment involved.
