Cover Story:
The kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) are the site of estrogen-negative feedback of kisspeptin gene (Kiss1) expression in female mammals. Takizawa et al. investigated whether nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2), an estrogen receptor α corepressor, is involved in estrogen-induced Kiss1 repression using two rat models: proestrous virgin and late-lactating model rats (Takizawa et al.; Involvement of nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) in estrogen-induced repression of arcuate Kiss1 expression in female rats. pp. 71–84). Ncor2 (magenta) was expressed in more than 80% of ARC Kiss1-expressing cells (green) in female rats, as shown in the cover photograph. Kisspeptin-neuron-specific Ncor2 knockdown increased the number of Kiss1-expressing cells and the intensity of the Kiss1 signals in the ARC in the proestrous model Kiss1-Cre rats but not in the late-lactating Kiss1-Cre rats. These findings suggest that NCOR2 in ARC kisspeptin neurons mediates the proestrous levels of estrogen-induced repression of ARC Kiss1 expression in virgin rats.
