Targeted gene disruption has produced knockout mice globally deficient in the orphan nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1). These SF-1 knockout mice lacked adrenal glands and gonads and consequently exhibited adrenocortical insufficiency and sex reversal of their internal and external genitalia. They also had impaired expression of gonadtropins in the anterior pituitary gonadotropes and agenesis of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH), confirming roles of SF-1 at all three levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-steroidogenic organ axis. Ongoing experiments are directed at using evolving techniques for tissue-specific gene inactivation to define the roles of SF-1 within discrete sites of the hypthalamic-pituitary-steroidogenic organ axis.
