Effects of the Yangjing Capsule Extract on Steroidogenesis and Apoptosis in Mouse Leydig Cells
Objectives. This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of Yangjing capsule on testosterone secretion in mouse Leydig tumor cells (MLTC-1). Methods. MLTC-1 cells were treated with the Yangjing capsule extract for 24 h. The testosterone level in medium was measured by radioimmunoassay. The expression of steroidogenic enzymes (StAR, CYP11A1, and HSD3B) in the cells was examined using rea...
متن کاملEffects of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor antisense knockout on MA-10 Leydig cell proliferation and steroidogenesis.
The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is not only widely expressed throughout the body, but it is also genetically conserved from bacteria to humans. Many functions have been attributed to it, but its primary role remains a puzzle. In the current study, we stably transfected cultures of MA-10 Leydig cells with either control or 18-kDa PBR antisense knockout plasmids. The antisense k...
متن کاملThe Effect of Cordycepin on Steroidogenesis and Apoptosis in MA-10 Mouse Leydig Tumor Cells
Cordycepin is a natural pure compound extracted from Cordyceps sinensis (CS). We have demonstrated that CS stimulates steroidogenesis in primary mouse Leydig cell and activates apoptosis in MA-10 mouse Leydig tumor cells. It is highly possible that cordycepin is the main component in CS modulating Leydig cell functions. Thus, our aim was to investigate the steroidogenic and apoptotic effects wi...
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...
متن کاملCatecholamine stimulation of steroidogenesis in Leydig cells.
Although p-adrenergic control of another steroidogenic tissue, the ovary, has been established (Godkin et al., 1977; Jordan et al, 1978; Hunzicker-Dunn, 1980; Hunzicker-Dunn et al., 1979; Kliachko & Zor, 1981), there have been no reports that catecholamines can directly stimulate steroidogenesis in Leydig cells. During the course of our investigations on factors controlling Leydig activity in c...
