Cox7a2 mediates steroidogenesis in TM3 mouse Leydig cells.
AIM To investigate the regulatory function of Cox7a2 on steroidogenesis and the mechanism involved in TM3 mouse Leydig cells. METHODS The cDNA of Cox7a2 was cloned from TM3 mouse Leydig cells. It was subcloned to pDsRed-Express-N1 and transfected back into TM3 mouse Leydig cells for Cox7a2 overexpression by transient gene transfection. Steroidogenesis affected by overexpressed Cox7a2 was stud...
متن کاملThe in vitro modulation of steroidogenesis by inflammatory cytokines and insulin in TM3 Leydig cells
BACKGROUND Cytokines and hormones, including insulin, are known to modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes axis and steroidogenesis, both centrally and peripherally. In the context of chronic inflammation and hyperinsulinaemia mediating male hypogonadism associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus, these mechanisms are poorly understood and the impact of cytokine...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether nicotine-induced testicular toxicity involves the induction of apoptosis in Leydig cells. DESIGN Cell study using cells of the TM3 cell line derived from mouse Leydig cells. SETTING Academic research laboratory. INTERVENTION(S) Morphological and biochemical analyses for the detection of apoptosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) The effect of nicotine on the occ...
متن کاملParacrine Regulation of Steroidogenesis in Theca Cells by Granulosa Cells Derived from Mouse Preantral Follicles
Interaction partners of follicular cells play a significant role in steroidogenesis, follicular formation, and development. Androgen secreted by theca cells (TCs) can initiate follicle development and ovulation and provide precursor materials for estrogen synthesis. Therefore, studies on ovarian microenvironment will not only lead to better understanding of the steroidogenesis but also have cli...
متن کاملAqueous Extract of Nigella sativa Seeds Suppresses Testicular Steroidogenesis In Mice Leydig Cells, in vitro
Nigella sativa (black seed) is an important medicinal herb with folkloric use in wide range of diseases. It is well studied for its biological activities. However, there is limited information regarding its effect on the male reproductive system. This study describes the effect of the aqueous extract of N. sativa (NSE) on testicular steroidogenesis from mice Leydig cells in vitro . Mice tes...
