Prolactin promotes the recruitment of main olfactory bulb cells and enhances the behavioral exploration toward a socio-sexual stimulus in female mice

Olfactory communication is triggered by pheromones that profoundly influence neuroendocrine responses to drive social interactions. Two principal olfactory systems process pheromones: the main and the vomeronasal or accessory system. Prolactin receptors are expressed in both systems suggesting a participation in the processing of olfactory information. We previously reported that prolactin participates in the sexual and olfactory bulb maturation of females. Therefore, we explored the expression of prolactin receptors within the olfactory bulb during sexual maturation and the direct responses of prolactin upon pheromonal exposure. Additionally, we assessed the behavioral response of adult females exposed to male sawdust after prolactin administration and the consequent activation of main and accessory olfactory bulb and their first central relays, the piriform cortex and the medial amygdala. Last, we investigated the intracellular pathway activated by prolactin within the olfactory bulb. Here, prolactin receptor expression remained constant during all maturation stages within the main olfactory bulb but decreased in adulthood in the accessory olfactory bulb. Behaviorally, females that received prolactin actively explored the male stimulus. An increased cFos activation in the amygdala and in the glomerular cells of the whole olfactory bulb was observed, but an augmented response in the mitral cells was only found within the main olfactory bulb after prolactin administration and the exposure to male stimulus. Interestingly, the ERK pathway was upregulated in the main olfactory bulb after exposure to a male stimulus. Overall, our results suggest that, in female mice, prolactin participates in the processing of chemosignals and behavioral responses by activating the main olfactory system and diminishing the classical vomeronasal response to pheromones.
