Özet:

 



The objective of
this study was to investigate the effect of Tamoxifen (TAM) treatment on
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in the pubertal mice ovary. In this study, 80 female mice (8 week-old) were used.
Animals divided four groups; non-injected (control A), injected with TAM’s
vehicle solution (control B). The mice in groups TAM 0.5 and TAM 1.5 were
treated with tamoxifen at a dose 0.5 and 1.5 mg/mouse/day respectively. TAM was
dissolved with 10% ethanol: 90% corn oil. Mice were
given daily subcutaneously injections for 5 days. Ovarian sections were
immunostained with EGFR antibody and triple staining for examine the general
structure. We observed that follicular atresia was increased, follicular cysts
were formed in stroma, and interstitial cells were increased with TAM dose
treatment. In the present study, there were no significant differences in the
EGFR expression in mouse ovary of all groups. EGFR expression was not determined
in the granulosa cells. While strong EGFR immunoreaction was observed in the
interstitial cells and oocyte cytoplasma, weak EGFR immunoreactions was
observed in theca cells of follicles.


























As a
result, it was observed that the administered doses of TAM have not
significant influence on EGFR expression.
