Bird oviduct development is controlled by sex steroid hormones. Estrogens (E) induce cell proliferation, formation of tubular glands by epithelial cell evagination and cell differentiation. Progesterone (P) strongly increases secretory processes in E-treated quails, but inhibits cell proliferation and cell evagination. The balance between E and P is very critical for the development and morphogenesis of the oviduct. After six daily injections of low doses of E (10 micrograms day-1) and high doses of P (5 mg day-1) into ovariectomized quails, cell proliferation and secretory process are stimulated but cell evagination is totally inhibited and distribution of striated collagen is perturbed. Using antibodies against type I collagen the stroma, which is mainly composed of fibroblasts, is brightly stained, as are some regions within the epithelium. Electron microscopy shows that bundles of striated collagen fibrils appear in extracellular spaces between the lateral membranes of the epithelial cells or between the basal lamina and the epithelial basal membrane. After in situ hybridization using a 35S riboprobe specific for mRNA of the alpha 2 chain of type I collagen, mRNA was detected only in the fibroblasts of the stroma and not in epithelial cells. Furthermore electron microscope studies of collagen bundles in serial sections clearly show collagen fibrils passing through the basal lamina. It is assumed that the type I collagen between epithelial cells originates from mesenchymal cells. In the oviduct of immature birds or after physiological E + P stimulation, striated collagen is localized only in the stroma and never within the epithelium. These results indicate a modulation of extracellular matrix by sex steroid hormones in the quail oviduct.

Abstract Background Published findings suggest sex differences in lung cancer risk and a potential role for sex steroid hormones. Our aim was to perform a meta-analysis to investigate the effects of sex steroid hormone exposure specifically on the risk of lung cancer in women. Methods The PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were searched. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for female lung cancer risk associated with sex steroid hormones were calculated overall and by study design, publication year, population, and smoking status. Sensitivity analysis, publication bias, and subgroup analysis were performed. Results Forty-eight studies published between 1987 and 2019 were included in the study with a total of 31,592 female lung cancer cases and 1,416,320 subjects without lung cancer. Overall, higher levels of sex steroid hormones, both endogenous (OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.87–0.98) and exogenous (OR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.80–0.93), significantly decreased the risk of female lung cancer by 10% (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.86–0.95). The risk of lung cancer decreased more significantly with a higher level of sex steroid hormones in non-smoking women (OR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78–0.99) than in smoking women (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.77–1.03), especially in Asia women (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.74–0.96). Conclusions Our meta-analysis reveals an association between higher levels of sex steroid hormone exposure and the decreased risk of female lung cancer. Surveillance of sex steroid hormones might be used for identifying populations at high risk for lung cancer, especially among non-smoking women.
