FKBP51 is a stress-responsive protein that inhibits glucocorticoid and progesterone receptors. We hypothesize that FKBP51 contributes to impaired ovarian development and folliculogenesis induced by PNS. Timed-pregnant Fkbp5+\/+ (wild-type) and Fkbp5\u2212\/\u2212 (knockout) mice were randomly assigned to either the undisturbed (nonstress) or PNS group, with exposure to maternal restraint stress from embryonic days 8 to 18. Ovaries from the offspring were harvested and stained, and follicles were counted according to their stages. Ovarian expressions of FKBP51 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Fkbp5 and steroidogenic enzymes were evaluated by qPCR. Compared to controls, Fkbp5+\/+ PNS offspring had increased peripubertal primordial follicle atresia and fewer total follicles in the adult and middle-aged groups. In adult Fkbp5+\/+ offspring, PNS elevated FKBP51 levels in granulosa cells of primary to tertiary follicles. Our results suggest that PNS administration increased FKBP51 levels, depleted the ovarian reserve, and dysregulated ovarian steroid synthesis. However, these PNS effects were tolerated in Fkbp5\u2212\/\u2212 mice, supporting the conclusion that FKBP51 contributes to reduced ovarian reserve induced by PNS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26062471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]],"date-time":"2025-03-10T12:02:59Z","timestamp":1741608179000},"page":"2471","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Depletion of Fkbp5 Protects Against the Rapid Decline in Ovarian Reserve Induced by Prenatal Stress in Female Offspring of Wild-Type Mice"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Monica","family":"Moore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Busra","family":"Cetinkaya-Un","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5883-1339","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Papri","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0379-2168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Umit A.","family":"Kayisli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4598-8281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nihan","family":"Semerci-Gunay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Teng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33612, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles J.","family":"Lockwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5448-917X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ozlem","family":"Guzeloglu-Kayisli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33602, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1057","article-title":"The impact of stress on body function: A review","volume":"16","author":"Yaribeygi","year":"2017","journal-title":"EXCLI J."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1016\/S2215-0366(16)30358-3","article-title":"Why are women so vulnerable to anxiety, trauma-related and stress-related disorders?
