These cells are sensitive not only to the male sex hormones androgens, but also to their metabolites, estrogens. In this study, we aimed to explore the action of estrogen signaling in rodent Sertoli cells on the activity of canonical Notch pathway, which provides contact-dependent communication between the cells of seminiferous epithelium. Experiments performed on Sertoli cell line and primary Sertoli cell cultures demonstrated that 17\u03b2-estradiol, acting through estrogen receptor 2, enhances Notch1 activation, transcriptional activity of recombination signal binding protein for immunoglobulin kappa J region (RBPJ), interaction of RBPJ with <jats:italic>Hes1<\/jats:italic> promoter, and the expression of the <jats:italic>Hes1<\/jats:italic> effector gene and protein. On the other hand, 17\u03b2-estradiol by binding to estrogen receptor 1 reduces the expression of the <jats:italic>Hey1<\/jats:italic> effector gene. In contrast to nuclear estrogen receptors, no evident role of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 in regulating Notch1 signaling activity in Sertoli cells has been found. The data presented indicate the role of nuclear estrogen receptor signaling in the control of Notch1 pathway activity in Sertoli cells, and thus reveal new mechanism of estrogen action in maintaining homeostasis of the seminiferous epithelium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s43032-025-01901-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]],"date-time":"2025-06-12T11:03:48Z","timestamp":1749726228000},"page":"2307-2318","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Role of Estrogen Signaling in Notch Pathway Activation in Sertoli Cells"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Sylwia","family":"Lustofin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alicja","family":"Kami\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Bili\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Wajda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3498-5704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Hejmej","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"1901_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"995","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.00018.2016","volume":"97","author":"PS Cooke","year":"2017","unstructured":"Cooke PS, Nanjappa MK, Ko C, Prins GS, Hess RA.
