ABSTRACT
Postpubertal progesterone injections slightly inhibited the proliferation and cornification of the vaginal epithelium induced by neonatal injections of diethylstilbestrol (DES). In vaginae of neonatally DES-exposed mice (DES mice), 9 protein expressions (PEX) appeared newly; 13 PEX decreased; 5 PEX increased compared to those in the controls. In vaginae of DES mice, PEX were altered by postpubertal injections of progesterone (DES-P); 3 PEX disappeared; 11 PEX were reversed to those in the controls. Progesterone injections impaired the proliferation of the vaginal epithelium, reversing 11 PEX compared to those in DES mice. In uteri of DES-P mice, 3 PEX increased, 2 PEX decreased, 2 PEX appeared and 1 PEX disappeared compared to those in DES mice. In conclusion, it was shown that postpubertal injections of progesterone alter the protein expression in the vagina and uterus of DES mice.
