Regulatory role of BMP-9 in steroidogenesis by rat ovarian granulosa cells.
BMPs expressed in the ovary differentially regulate steroidogenesis by granulosa cells. BMP-9, a circulating BMP, is associated with cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation in various tissues. However, the effects of BMP-9 on ovarian function have yet to be elucidated. Here we investigated BMP-9 actions on steroidogenesis using rat primary granulosa cells. BMP-9 potently suppressed FS...
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 کاملModulation of steroidogenesis in human ovarian granulosa cells during aging.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the steroid production (progesterone [P] and estradiol [E2]) by cultured human granulosa cells (GCs) during aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human ovarian GCs and granulosa-luteal cells (GLCs) were isolated from ovaries of female patients (young and premenopausal) undergoing surgery for non-ovarian benign gynecological conditio...
متن کاملSignaling Mechanism of Fsh and Tgfβ1 in Stimulating Steroidogenesis in Rat Ovarian Granulosa Cells
Previous studies demonstrate that transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) augmented FSH-induced progesterone production in rat ovarian granulosa cells. The post-receptor signaling relaying FSH action rests mainly on cAMP followed by protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent and/or PKA-independent pathway possibly involving phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K). This study was conducted to investigate the r...
متن کاملEffects of fenvalerate on steroidogenesis in cultured rat granulosa cells.
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to examine the in vitro effects of fenvalerate on steroid production and steroidogenic enzymes mRNA expression level in rat granulosa cells. METHODS Using primary cultured rat granulosa cells (rGCs) as model, fenvalerate of various concentrations (0, 1, 5, 25, 125, 625 micromol/L) was added to the medium for 24 h. In some cases, optimal concentrations of 22(R...
