Lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS) is highly expressed in the adult testis and epididymis of many mammals. The present study was to investigate L-PGDS expression in mouse testis and epididymis during sexual maturation, and the effects of testoster-one replacement on L-PGDS expression in epididymis byin situhybridization and immunohistochemistry. Both L-PGDS mRNA and protein were highly expressed in the interstitial tissue of adult testis. L-PGDS mRNA was first detected on d 30 after birth and exhibited an abundant signal in adult caput and cauda epididymis. L-PGDS immunostaining was first observed on d 30 after birth. There was a strong level of L-PGDS immunostaining in adult epididymis. Castrated male mice were treated with either vehicle or testosterone propionate following 3 d postcastration. L-PGDS expression steadily declined in a time-dependent fashion in control groups. No L-PGDS mRNA expression or immunostaining was detected in the controls for 12 d. When the castrated mice were treated with testosterone propionate for 5 or 12 d, L-PGDS expression was significantly increased in the whole epididymis. These data suggest that L-PGDS expression in mouse epididymis gradually declined in parallel to the declining concentration of endogenous androgen after castration and increased with the treatment of exogenous testosterone, indicating that L-PGDS expression in mouse epididymis was modulated by androgen levels. However, differential expression in different areas of the epididymis may also be influenced by factors derived from the testis.
