BACKGROUND: The effects of aging on zona fasciculatareticularis (ZFR) cell function in male rats were studied.
METHODS: Male rats 3, 6, and 22 months of age were divided into three groups, and collagenase-dispersed ZFR cells were isolated and incubated with adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), 8-bromo-adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP), ovine prolactin (oPRL), deoxycorticosterone (DOC), or 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (IBMX) at 37 degrees C for 1 hour. Corticosterone concentrations in cell media and cAMP production in ZFR cells were measured by radioimmunoassay. Protein expression of PRL receptor in ZFR cells were analyzed by Western blot.
RESULTS: The basal levels of plasma and medium corticosterone were higher in 22-month-old than in 3-month-old rats. In contrast, the release of corticosterone in response to ACTH, 8-Br-cAMP, and DOC was lower in 22-month-old than in 3- and 6-month-old rats. Aging decreased the oPRL-stimulated release of corticosterone but increased the protein expression of PRL receptor in ZFR cells. The basal levels of intracellular cAMP increased with age. However, the ACTH-stimulated production of intracellular cAMP decreased in 22-month-old compared with 3- or 6-month-old rats. The increment of cAMP accumulation in ZFR cells after administration of IBMX was greater in 22-month-old than in 3- or 6-month-old rats.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the aging effects on the production of corticosterone in rat ZFR cells is associated with change of the generation of cAMP, the activity of 11 beta-hydroxylase and the protein expression of PRL receptor.
