    Sexual dimorphism in plumage is widespread among avian species. In chickens, adult females exhibit countershading, characterized by dull-colored round feathers lacking fringe on the saddle, while adult males display vibrant plumage with deeply fringed bright feathers. This dimorphism is estrogen-dependent, and administering estrogen to males transforms their showy plumage into cryptic female-like plumage. Extensive studies have shown that estrogen's role in female plumage formation requires thyroid hormone; however, the precise mechanisms of their interaction remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the roles of estrogen and thyroid hormone in creating sexual dimorphism in the structure and coloration of saddle feathers by administering each hormone to adult males and observing the resulting changes in regenerated feathers induced by plucking. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the expression of type 3 deiodinase (DIO3), responsible for thyroid hormone inactivation, correlates with fringing. Estrogen suppressed DIO3 and agouti signaling protein (ASIP) expression while stimulating BlSK1, a marker of barbule cells, resulting in female-like feathers with mottled patterns and lacking fringes. Administration of thyroxine (T4) stimulated BlSK1 and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) expression, with no effect on ASIP, leading to the formation of solid black feathers lacking fringes. Triiodothyronine (T3) significantly increased POMC expression in pulp cells in culture. Taken together, these findings suggest that estrogen promotes the formation of solid vanes by suppressing DIO3 expression, while also inducing the formation of mottled patterns through inhibition of ASIP expression and indirect stimulation of melanocortin expression via changes in local T3 concentration. This is the first report describing molecular mechanism underlying hormonal crosstalk in creating sexual dimorphism in feathers.

    The adrenomedullin (AM) family is involved in diverse biological functions, including cardiovascular regulation and body fluid homeostasis, in multiple vertebrate lineages. The AM family consists of AM1, AM2, and AM5 in tetrapods, and the receptor for mammalian AMs has been identified as the complex of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and receptor activity-modifying protein 2 (RAMP2) or RAMP3. However, the receptors for AM in amphibians have not been identified. In this study, we identified the cDNAs encoding calcrl (clr), ramp2, and ramp3 receptor components from the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis). Messenger RNAs of amphibian clr and ramp2 were highly expressed in the heart, whereas that of ramp3 was highly expressed in the whole blood. In HEK293T cells expressing clr-ramp2, cAMP response element luciferase (CRE-Luc) reporter activity was activated by am1. In HEK293T cells expressing clr-ramp3, CRE-Luc reporter activity was increased by the treatment with am2 at the lowest dose, but with am5 and am1 at higher dose. Our results provided new insights into the roles of AM family peptides through CLR-RAMP receptor complexes in the tetrapods.

    To clarify the relationships between growth, endocrine status and habitat characteristics in Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica), plasma and stomach mRNA levels of ghrelin were examined in wild eels captured in the river and the bay, and in cultured eels during and after experimental fasting. Wild juvenile eels captured in freshwater habitats within the river showed significantly higher plasma and stomach mRNA levels of ghrelin than did fish obtained from brackish-water habitats within the bay. In cultured eels experimentally fasted for 4 weeks, plasma and stomach mRNA levels of ghrelin increased. After refeeding, the both parameters returned to the levels observed in continuously feeding control fish. In pigmented elvers, 2 months of feed restriction resulted in a significant increase in whole-body ghrelin mRNA. It is suggested that interaction between ghrelin and feeding is related to their habitats through differential food acquisition in fresh and brackish water environments.

    Neuromedin U (NMU) shows circadian expression in the rat pars tuberalis (PT), and is known to be suppressed by melatonin. Here we examined the involvement of adenosine in the regulation of Nmu expression. We found that the rat PT expressed adenosine receptor A2b and that an adenosine receptor agonist, NECA, stimulated Nmu expression in brain slice cultures. In vitro promoter assays revealed that NECA stimulated Nmu promoter activity via a cAMP response element (CRE) in the presence of adenosine receptor A2b. NECA also increased the levels of phosphorylated CRE-binding protein. These findings suggest that adenosine stimulates Nmu expression by activating the cAMP signaling pathway through adenosine receptor A2b in the rat PT. This is the first report to demonstrate that Nmu expression in the PT is regulated by adenosine, which acts as an intravital central metabolic signal, in addition to melatonin, which acts as an external photoperiodic environmental signal.

    We previously demonstrated that female Runx3 knockout (Runx3-/-) mice were anovulatory and their uteri were atrophic and that Runx3 mRNA was expressed in granulosa cells. To clarify how Runx3 regulates folliculogenesis and ovulation, we examine the effects of Runx3 knockout on the gene expression of growth factors associated with folliculogenesis and enzymes associated with steroidogenesis. In Runx3-/- mouse ovaries, the numbers of primary and antral follicles were lower than those in wild-type (wt) mice at 3 weeks of age, indicating that the loss of Runx3 affects folliculogenesis. The expression of genes encoding activin and inhibin subunits (Inha, Inhba and Inhbb) was also decreased in ovaries from the Runx3-/- mice compared with that in wt mice. Moreover, the expression of the genes Cyp11a1 and Cyp19a1 encoding steroidogenic enzymes was also decreased. In cultured granulosa cells from 3-week-old mouse ovaries, Cyp19a1 mRNA levels were lower in Runx3-/- mice than those in wt mice. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) treatment increased Cyp19a1 mRNA levels in both wt and Runx3-/- granulosa cells in culture but the mRNA level in Runx3-/- granulosa cells was lower than that in wt ones, indicating that granulosa cells could not fully function in the absence of Runx3. At 3 weeks of age, gonadotropin α subunit, FSHβ subunit and luteinizing hormone (LH) β subunit mRNA levels were decreased in Runx3-/- mice. These findings suggest that Runx3 plays a key role in female reproduction by regulating folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis in granulosa cells.

    Chicken early (EF) and late feathering (LF) are sex-linked phenotypes conferred by wild-type k+ and dominant K alleles on chromosome Z, respectively. Besides prolactin (PRL) receptor (PRLR) and sperm flagellar 2 (SPEF2) genes, the K allele contains a fusion gene in which partially duplicated PRLR (dPRLR) and SPEF2 (dSPEF2) genes are linked in a tail-to-tail manner. The causative dPRLR gene encodes a C-terminal truncated receptor. LF chickens have short or no primaries at hatching; however, their feather growth rate is higher than that of EF chickens. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular basis of the K allele's biphasic effect on feather development. By 3'RACE and RT-PCR analyses, we demonstrated that dSPEF2 gene transcription occurred beyond all coding exons of the dPRLR gene on the opposite strand and that dPRLR mRNA was less abundant than PRLR mRNA. In addition, a 5'UTR splice variant (SPV) of PRL receptor mRNAs was increased in LF chickens. In vitro expression analysis of 5'UTR linked to the luciferase reporter gene revealed higher translation efficiency of SPV. RT-qPCR showed that the dPRLR mRNA level was higher in embryos; conversely, SPV was higher in hatched chickens, as was dSPEF2 mRNA. These findings suggest that the K allele inhibits feather development at the fetal stage by expressing dPRLR to attenuate PRLR function and promotes feather growth after hatching by increasing PRLR through dSPEF2 mRNA expression. Increased SPV may cause greater feather growth than that in EF chickens by increasing the availability of PRLR homodimers and enhancing PRL signaling.

    We previously demonstrated that the Runx3 transcription factor is expressed in the hypothalami, pituitaries, and ovaries of mice, and that Runx3 knockout (Runx3-/-) mice are anovulatory and their uteri are atrophic. Runx3 mRNA expression was detected in the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles, and in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) and arcuate nucleus (ARC). In the present study, we examined the effects of Runx3 knockout on the gene expression of enzymes associated with steroidogenesis. We found decreased Cyp11a1 mRNA expression in Runx3-/- mouse ovaries compared with that in wild-type (wt) mouse ovaries at the age of 8 weeks. In situ hybridization analysis showed that the percentages of Cyp11a1 mRNA-expressing theca cells in follicles of Runx3-/- mice were decreased compared with those of wt mice. In accord with the alterations in Runx3-/- mouse ovaries, Kiss1 mRNA levels in ARC were increased, whereas mRNA levels of kisspeptin in AVPV were decreased, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the preoptic area and follicle-stimulating hormone β subunit gene were increased in Runx3-/- mice. Following an ovarian transplantation experiment between Runx3-/- mice and wt mice, corpora lutea were observed when ovaries from Runx3-/- mice were transplanted into wt mice, but not when those from wt mice were transplanted into Runx3-/- mice, suggesting that Runx3 in the hypothalamo-pituitary system may drive gonadotropin release to induce ovulation in the ovary. These findings indicate that Runx3 plays a crucial role in the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis.

    INTRODUCTION: The adrenomedullins (AMs) comprise a hormonal family in mammals and teleost fishes, with five members (AM1-5) found or predicted in most of the teleosts including Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). AM1 is known to have cardiovascular and osmoregulatory functions in mammals, but the roles of most AMs are yet to be determined. RESULTS: Using medaka, we first analyzed the tissue distribution of all five AM genes and found detectable expression in all tissues examined, with relatively high levels of AM3 and AM5 in the liver and kidney. To assess the osmoregulatory roles of these AMs, mRNA levels were examined in the brain (including the eyes), gill, liver, kidney and spleen of medaka one week after transfer from isotonic saline (11 ppt) to freshwater (0 ppt) or seawater (33 ppt). Expression of AM1 in the brain-eye increased in freshwater. The central level of AM4 (the paralog of AM1) decreased in seawater; the branchial level of AM4 decreased in freshwater and seawater, but the renal level increased in freshwater. The branchial level of AM2 increased in seawater, whereas the renal level decreased in freshwater and seawater. Expression of AM3, the AM2 paralog, decreased in the brain-eye of seawater-acclimated fish. Expression of AM5 in the brain-eye and kidney decreased in seawater. CONCLUSIONS: Except for branchial AM2, the members of AM family tend to be involved in promotion of hyper-osmoregulation and/or inhibition of hypo-osmoregulation, although each AM may play a distinct role during adaptation to different salinities.

    Fish endocrinologists are commonly motivated to pursue their research driven by their own interests in these aquatic animals. However, the data obtained in fish studies not only satisfy their own interests but often contribute more generally to the studies of other vertebrates, including mammals. The life of fishes is characterized by the aquatic habitat, which demands many physiological adjustments distinct from the terrestrial life. Among them, body fluid regulation is of particular importance as the body fluids are exposed to media of varying salinities only across the thin respiratory epithelia of the gills. Endocrine systems play pivotal roles in the homeostatic control of body fluid balance. Judging from the habitat-dependent control mechanisms, some osmoregulatory hormones of fish should have undergone functional and molecular evolution during the ecological transition to the terrestrial life. In fact, water-regulating hormones such as vasopressin are essential for survival on the land, whereas ion-regulating hormones such as natriuretic peptides, guanylins and adrenomedullins are diversified and exhibit more critical functions in aquatic species. In this short review, we introduce some examples illustrating how comparative fish studies contribute to general endocrinology by taking advantage of such differences between fishes and tetrapods. In a functional context, fish studies often afford a deeper understanding of the essential actions of a hormone across vertebrate taxa. Using the natriuretic peptide family as an example, we suggest that more functional studies on fishes will bring similar rewards of understanding. At the molecular level, recent establishment of genome databases in fishes and mammals brings clues to the evolutionary history of hormone molecules via a comparative genomic approach. Because of the functional and molecular diversification of ion-regulating hormones in fishes, this approach sometimes leads to the discovery of new hormones in tetrapods as exemplified by adrenomedullin 2.

    Acclimation from marine to dilute environments constitutes among the most dramatic evolutionary transitions in the history of life. Such adaptations have evolved in multiple lineages, but studies of the mechanisms are limited to those using evolutionarily advanced Deuterostome (chordates) and Ecdysozoa (crustaceans). Here we examined the body-fluid homeostasis in the advanced Lophotrochozoa/mollusc, the other unexplored taxa, and its possible regulations byvasopressin/oxytocin superfamily peptides known to be implicated in fluid homeostasis in Chordata and Arthropoda. The hemolymph osmotic and ionic status in the euryhaline cephalopod (Octopus ocellatus) following transfer from normal seawater (30 ppt) to low (20 ppt) salinity indicate the hyperosmo- and hyperiono-regulatory abilities for more than 1 week, as in crustaceans and teleost fish. While ventilation frequency decreased by 1 day, Na+/K+-ATPase activity, which has been implicated in ion transport generally, was induced in two of the eight posterior gills after 1 week. Furthermore, the octopuses were intravenously injected with 1 or 100 ng/g octopressin or cephalotocin, cephalopod vasopressin/oxytocin orthologs. After 1 day, octopressin, not cephalotocin, decreased the hemolymph osmolality and Ca concentrations as well as urinary Na concentrations. These data provide evidence for convergent evolution in the hyper-ionoregulatory mechanisms and the coordination by conserved molecules.

    We have clarified that all five members of adrenomedullin(AM) family were expressed in tissues of medaka(Oryzias latipes) including osmoregulatory organs. The expressions of AM1, AM3, AM4 and AM5 were increased after transfer to freshwater and decreased in seawater, whereas that of AM2 was increased in seawater. The obtained data suggest that AM family genes except for AM2 are involved in freshwater adaptation, whereas AM2 is related to the adaptation to seawater.

    本年度は、発現クローニングによって受容体遺伝子を同定するための準備段階として、まず対照として用いる既知のAM受容体遺伝子(CLR, calcitonin receptor-like receptorおよびRAMP, receptor activity-modifying protein)のウナギにおけるホモログのcDNAクローニングを行った。その結果、CLR1遺伝子の配列を決定し、この発現分布を調べたところ、浮き袋の奇網などの血管が豊富な組織に存在することがわかった。新規受容体は既知の受容体遺伝子と似た構造をもつと考えられるため、得られたアミノ酸配列をもとに、現在利用できる硬骨魚類のゲノムデータベースを検索したが、相同性による新規遺伝子の候補は見つけることができなかった。現在、タンパク質のアフィニティによる結合アッセイを行うため、RI標識したリガンド分子を準備中である。
    また、ウナギにおいてはAM1よりもAM2/AM5のほうがより強力な生理作用を示したが、このような現象が他の硬骨魚類でも一般的であることを確認するため、ウナギ以外の種においてもAMファミリーの機能解析を行った。ゼブラフィッシュの受精卵を用いてAMファミリーの各遺伝子をノックダウンすることで、発生・分化におけるAMファミリーの機能を解析しようと試みた。ゲノムデータベースの解析によって、ゼブラフィッシュにはAM2遺伝子が存在しないことが明らかになったため、AM2のパラログであるAM3、およびAM1、AM5の各mRNAに結合するアンチセンスモルフォリノオリゴを設計し、受精卵へのマイクロインジェクションを行った。その結果、AM1およびAM3遺伝子をノックダウンした群では血管分化の阻害が観察された。より顕著な表現型がみられたのはAM5をノックダウンした群であり、この群では頭部の水腫、赤血球の減少、運動性の著しい低下など多くの異常が観察された。現在、これらの部位の発生にかかわる遺伝子とAM5遺伝子との相互作用について解析を行っている。

    前年度までの研究によって、脊椎動物のアドレノメデュリン(AM)ファミリーは、3つの祖先型分子(AM1、AM2、AM5)から進化してきたことがわかったため、今年度は真骨類におけるAMファミリーの作用をより詳細に明らかにする目的で、ウナギを用いてAMを投与する生理実験を行った。ウナギの背大動脈・食道・膀胱にそれぞれカニューレを挿入し、血管カニューレからホルモンを投与すると同時に血圧を測定した。食道および膀胱カニューレからは飲水量および尿量を測定した。投与したホルモンは、5種類のAMのうち、祖先型分子が異なるAM1、AM2、AM5を選んだ。その結果、血圧・飲水量への作用はAM2とAM5が最も強く、これまでに知られていたどのホルモンよりも強力な降圧作用、飲水促進作用を示した。哺乳類において強い作用を示すAM1は、ウナギにおいては弱い作用しか示さなかった。また尿量についてはAM2が抗利尿作用をもつことが明らかとなった。これらの結果により、真骨類であるウナギにおいては、AM2およびAM5が浸透圧調節作用をもつことがわかった。
    また、AM2およびAM5による飲水促進作用がどのような経路によって起こるのかを調べるため、ウナギの第三脳室および第四脳室内にホルモンを投与する実験を行った。その結果、飲水促進ホルモンであるアンジオテンシンIIが強力に飲水を誘起したのに対し、ウナギAMはどちらの脳室内投与によっても飲水を促進しなかった。このことから、AM2、AM5は脳室周囲器官を通じて飲水を促進するのではなく、血中から血液脳関門のない神経核を介して作用していることが示唆された。
    これまでに同定されている真骨類AMの受容体とリガンドとの親和性はAM1が最も高く、本研究によって得られた結果とは一致しない。したがって、真骨類にはAM2またはAM5に特異的な未知の受容体が存在する可能性が高い。
