Neurotrophic effects of estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I were assessed in primary cultures from fetal rat hypothalamus. Cultured neurons were immunostained with an antibody for the microtubule-associated protein-2. While both estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I increased the number of microtubule-associated protein-2-immunoreactive neurons and the extension of immunoreactive processes, the effect of these two factors was not additive. The estradiol-induced increases in neuronal numbers and extension of neuronal processes were blocked by either the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 or by an anti-sense oligonucleotide to the estrogen receptor. Furthermore, incubation of the cultures with an anti-sense oligonucleotide directed against the insulin-like growth factor-I messenger RNA also blocked the effect of estradiol. In turn, the effects of insulin-like growth factor-I were blocked by the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 and by the anti-sense oligonucleotide to the estrogen receptor. These findings suggest that estradiol-induced activation of the estrogen receptor in developing hypothalamic cells requires the presence of insulin-like growth factor-I, and that both estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I use the estrogen receptor as a mediator of their trophic effects on hypothalamic neurons.
