Abstract
Though lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) shows a variety of regulatory roles in reproduction, its action mechanisms in the gestational organs are still largely unknown. We here characterized cellular distribution of its six kinds of specific receptors (LPA1-6) in rat uteri by immunohistochemistry and quantitatively analyzed changes in Lpar1-6 mRNAs expression throughout pregnancy. Among LPA1-6, evident expression of LPA3, LPA4, and LPA6 was immunologically detected and less expression of immunoreactive LPA1 and LPA2 was also found. Luminal and glandular epithelial cells, stromal cells, and myometrial cells are sites of positive immunoreactions, and they are all likely to express three or more subtypes. All of Lpar1-6 mRNAs were expressed, and their alterations were variable depending on subtypes and gestational age. The present information suggests that diverse actions of LPA in the uterus involve varied expression of LPA receptors dependent on tissue/cell types, receptor subtype(s), and organ reproductive states and helps to understand uterine biology of LPA.

Abstract
Social anhedonia is a psychological state with difficulty in experiencing pleasure from social interactions and is observed in various diseases, such as depressive disorders. Although the relationships between social reward responses and anxiety- and depression-like behaviors have remained unclear, a social reward conditioned place preference (SCPP) test can be used to analyze the rewarding nature of social interactions. To elucidate these relationships, we used 5-week-old male mice of AKR, BALB/c, and C57BL/6J strains and conducted behavioral tests in the following order: elevated plus-maze test (EPM), open field test (OFT), SCPP, saccharin preference test (SPT), and passive avoidance test. The nucleus accumbens of these mice were collected 24 hr after these behavioral tests and were used for western blotting to determine the levels of receptors for brain-derived neurotrophic factors and glucocorticoids. BALB/c mice displayed the highest levels of anxiety-like behavior in EPM and OFT as well as physical anhedonia-like behaviors in SPT. They also showed increased responses to social rewards and huddling behaviors in SCPP, with downregulated glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Regression analysis results revealed positive influences of anxiety- and physical anhedonia-like behaviors and expressions of GR on social reward responses. Collectively, temperament associated with anxiety and physical anhedonia may affect social reward responses, which possibly is influenced by the expression of GR that can modify these psychological traits.

Abstract
As gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is expressed in the thymus, its direct action on thymic cells, including thymic involution, has been suggested. Annexin A5 (ANXA5), a biomarker of GnRH, was used to determine whether GnRH affects the thymus of male rats. Immunohistochemistry showed positive reactions for ANXA5 in large medullary epithelial cells at 30 days of age, and the expression continued until 180 days of age. Organ culture of thymus pieces was performed to examine the direct action of a GnRH agonist (GnRHa) on the expression of Anxa5 and Gnrh mRNA. Thymus tissues obtained from male rats (40–60 days old) were cut into small pieces (2–3 mm3) and incubated for 3 hr with the GnRHa. The expression levels of Anxa5 and Gnrh mRNA were augmented by the GnRHa. Immunohistochemistry of these tissue fragments showed that ANXA5 expression was enhanced, especially in medullary epithelial cells. These results revealed that GnRH synthesis in the thymus could affect thymic epithelial cells after puberty.
