Description of Estrone

Estrone is one of the three major endogenous estrogens, the others being estradiol and estriol[1]. Estrone is synthesized from cholesterol and is primarily secreted by the gonads, but can also be formed by adrenal androgens in adipose tissue[2]. Estrone is an agonist of the estrogen receptor[3]. Estrone can effectively activate multiple signaling and functional responses in pituitary cells at low physiological concentrations[4].

In vitro, treatment of human endothelial colony-forming cells (hECFCs) with Estrone (0-1µM) for 24h significantly promoted cell proliferation at concentrations of 1nM and 10nM, and inhibited proliferation at a concentration of 1µM[5]. Treatment of bone progenitor cells with Estrone (10nM) upregulated the expression of estrogen receptor α (ER-α) and estrogen receptor β (ER-β), but downregulated the expression of osteopontin (OPN)[6]. Estrone (10-3-105nM) treated mouse colon cancer MC38 cells for 24-72h inhibited cell growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner[7].

In vivo, subcutaneous injection of Estrone (0.5mg/kg) in rats with traumatic brain injury reduced cortical lesion volume and neuronal damage, reduced the level of TUNEL-positive staining in the cerebral cortex, reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the corpus callosum, and reduced the cortical level of β-amyloid protein after brain injury[8].

Protocol of Estrone

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Human endothelial colony-forming cells (hECFCs)

Preparation Method

5×104 serum starved hECFCs were seeded into 24 wells plates and incubated with IncuCyte® NucLight Rapid Red Reagent for nuclear labeling. Celprogen media with serum and antibiotics was supplemented with the desired treatment. Treatment groups included: Estrone, estradiol, or 1 to 1 ratio combination of Estrone/estradiol at 0nM (medium control), 1nM, 10nM, 100nM, and 1µM. The hECFCs were then incubated for 24h during which the cells were imaged in the IncuCyte SX5 Live-Cell Analysis System (Sartorius). Cell number was then quantified and presented as percentage of control.

Reaction Conditions

1nM, 10nM, 100nM, 1µM; 24h

Applications

The effect of Estrone on hECFC proliferation was biphasic with only exposures of 1nM and 10nM resulting in significant increases in hECFC proliferation. Estrone exposure at 1μM resulted in attenuated proliferation and resulted in a significantly lower hECFC cell number than control.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Sprague-Dawley rats

Preparation Method

The Benchmark Stereotaxic Impactor was used to administer severe TBI in rats. An incision was made to expose the skull, and the craniotomy procedure was performed. Following the craniotomy procedure, a cortical contusion was delivered to the right hemisphere via a vertically-directed pneumatic cylinder. The skin was closed with surgical wound clips. At 30min following brain injury, the animals were treated subcutaneously with Estrone (0.5mg/kg) or vehicle (corn oil). Control and sham (craniotomy only) animals were also included as controls. The animals were monitored for pain every 6h for the first 24h, and once a day thereafter. At 72h following injury, the animals were perfusedintracardially with 0.9% saline followed by 10% phosphate-buffered formalin. The whole brain was removed, sliced, and stained for TUNEL-positive cells.

Dosage form

0.5mg/kg; s.c.

Applications

Estrone decreased cortical lesion volume and neuronal injury, and it reduced cerebral cortical levels of TUNEL-positive staining, and decreased numbers of TUNEL-positive cells in the corpus callosum.
