However, the molecular mechanisms of the estrogen-independent changes have not been elucidated. To analyze the mechanism of estrogen-independent cell proliferation and cornification of the vaginal epithelium, we used differential display and determined specific genes expressed in neonatally DES-treated vagina. A candidate clone that designated DDV5 was identical to the serine protease, neuropsin that is reportedly expressed in the mouse central nervous system. We then analyzed the expression pattern of DDV5/neuropsin using Northern blot analysis. We found: (1). DDV5/neuropsin mRNA is expressed in vaginae from neonatally DES-treated ovariectomized mice but not in vaginae from ovariectomized control mice, (2). its expression is not detected in uteri from neonatally DES-treated mice, (3). DDV5/neuropsin is expressed in vaginae from normal intact mice during estrus. Furthermore, we found that DDV5/neuropsin mRNA rapidly decreased in vaginae after ovariectomy. DDV5/neuropsin was detected in vaginae from ovariectomized mice 48 h after estrogen treatment. These results suggest that DDV5/neuropsin is expressed in estrogen-stimulated mouse vagina, and its gene expression is regulated by estrogen. Neonatal DES exposure affects transcriptional control of DDV5/neuropsin in the mouse vagina, which results in persistent expression of DDV5/neuropsin even after ovariectomy, thus, DDV5/neuropsin may play a role in estrogen-independent persistent proliferation and cornification of the vaginal epithelium. Using in situ hybridization method, we found DDV5/neuropsin mRNA localized in epithelial cells but not stromal cells in vaginae. This is the first report on the gene expression of a serine-protease neuropsin in the mouse vagina, and as a marker of the estrogen-independent persistent proliferation and cornification of the vaginal epithelium."xsd:string
