Abstract

Tamoxifen (TAM) is one of selective estrogen receptor modulators used in breast cancer treatment and prevention. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) and its receptor (IGF-1R), has any role in the effect mechanism of TAM on the ovary. Experimentally, animals were divided into three groups as control group (n= 20), low dose TAM treatment group (0.5 mg/mouse/day, n= 20) and high dose TAM treatment group (1.5 mg/mouse/day, n= 20). TAM was injected 0.5 and 1.5 mg/mouse/day for 5 days. Ovarian sections were used to examine the general structure by trichrome staining method and to determine IGF-1 and IGF-1R expressions by immunohistochemical staining method. After the experiment, the presence of atretic follicles and small cystic structures in the TAM-treated animals was determined. Also, antral follicles and the corpus luteum were much less in the high dose TAM group than in the control. TAM did not change the expression of IGF-1 in granulosa cells, but increased the expression of IGF-1R. In TAM groups, IGF-1 and IGF-1R expression were increased in oocytes of follicles and in interstitial cells depending on TAM doses. However, while IGF-1 expression was unchanged in the corpus luteum, decreased in treatment group. TAM generally stimulated IGF-1 and IGF-1R expression in a dose-dependent manner. The results suggest that IGF-1 signaling pathway is involved in the mechanism of action of TAM on the ovary. We may assert that it may be useful to use IGF-1 signaling pathway regulators to adjust the effects of TAM on the ovary.

Özet

Tamoksifen (TAM), meme kanseri tedavisinde ve önlenmesinde kullanılan seçici östrojen reseptörü modülatörlerinden biridir. Sunulan çalışmanın amacı, ovaryum üzerine TAM’ın etki mekanizmasında, insülin benzeri büyüme faktörü-I (IGF-1) ve reseptörünün (IGF-1R) herhangi bir rolünün olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Deney hayvanları, kontrol grubu (n= 20), düşük doz TAM uygulanan grup (0.5 mg/fare/gün, n= 20) ve yüksek doz TAM uygulanan grup (1.5 mg/fare/gün, n= 20) olmak üzere üç gruba ayrıldı. TAM enjeksiyonu 0.5 ve 1.5 mg/fare/gün olmak üzere 5 gün boyunca uygulandı. Ovaryum kesitlerine, genel yapıyı incelemek için trikom boyama, IGF-1 ve IGF-1R’in ekspresyonlarını belirlemek için immunohistokimyasal yöntem uygulandı. Deney sonrasında, TAM uygulanan hayvanlarda atretik foliküller ve küçük kistik yapıların varlığı belirlendi. Bununla beraber, yüksek doz TAM grubunda, antral foliküller ve korpus luteum, kontrol grubuna göre daha azdı. Granüloza hücrelerinde TAM, IGF-1’in ekspresyonunu değiştirmezken, IGF-1R’nün ekspresyonunu arttırdı. TAM, folliküllerin oositlerinde ve doza bağlı olarak intersitisyel hücrelerde IGF-1 ve IGF-1R expresyonunu arttırdı. Bununla birlikte deney grubunun korpus luteumunda IGF-1 ekspresyonu değişmezken, IGF-1R ekpresyonu azaldı. Genel olarak TAM doza bağlı, IGF-1 ve IGF-1R ekspresyonlarını uyardı. Bu sonuçlar, ovaryum üzerine TAM’ın etki mekanizmasına IGF-1 sinyal yolağının dahil olduğunu göstermektedir. Tamoksifen’in ovaryum üzerindeki etkilerinin düzenlenmesinde, IGF-1 sinyal yolağı regülatörlerinin kullanılmasının yararlı olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
