Regulation of apolipoprotein E biosynthesis by cAMP and phorbol ester in rat ovarian granulosa cells.
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is synthesized by the liver and many peripheral cells. Rat ovarian granulosa cells synthesize and secrete apoE, and this apoE production is increased by agents that increase cellular cAMP. In these studies of granulosa cell apoE synthesis we have examined the effect of agents that stimulate various cell kinases, including protein kinases A, G, and C. The cell content of ...
متن کاملRegulation of Apoptosis and Steroidogenesis in Ovarian Preovulatory Granulosa Cells
Only a minute fraction of ovarian follicles present in a foetal ovary will complete the path to ovulation. The majority of the follicles will instead undergo atresia, a hormonally controlled apoptotic process. Apoptosis occurs throughout follicle development, with an extensive reduction in the number of follicles present at birth. Interestingly, this drastic reduction is not present among preov...
متن کاملRegulation of telomerase activity in ovarian granulosa cells.
Follicular development is characterized by intensive proliferation and differentiation of granulosa cells. It was reported that during follicular growth granulosa cells arise from the population of stem cells. One of the main evidences for stem characteristics of the cell is the ability to express telomerase--an enzyme complex responsible for integrity and stability of chromosome ends (telomere...
متن کاملDIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN OVARIAN FOLLICULAR GRANULOSA CELLS INTO KERATINOCYTES
Background & Aims: Stem cells are undifferentiated cells and are found in different tissues. These cells have capacity of self-renewal and differentiation into other lineages. Granulosa cells (GCs) are the multipotent stem cells. In the present research we evaluated the differentiation potential of GCs into keratinocytes. Material & Methods: GCs were cultured after enzymatic isolation from ova...
متن کاملMechanism of luteinizing hormone regulation of prostaglandin synthesis in rat granulosa cells.
The present study was undertaken to examine the mechanism by which luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in rat granulosa cells. Immature rats were injected with 20 IU of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin and granulosa cells isolated 48 h later. LH (5 microgram/ml) stimulated PGE synthesis markedly over the control with no additions in 6-h incubations (1.98 +/- 0.24 ...
