Hypoxia Promotes Progesterone Synthesis During Luteinization in Bovine Granulosa Cells
To determine whether hypoxia has an effect on luteinization, we examined the influence of hypoxia on a model of bovine luteinizing and non-luteinizing granulosa cell culture. The granulosa cells were obtained from small antral follicles (≤ 6 mm in diameter). To induce luteinization, the cells were treated for 24 h with insulin (2 µg/ml), forskolin (10 µM) or insulin in combination with forskoli...
متن کاملHuman Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation
Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor-β1 Preserves Bovine Nasal Cartilage against Degradation Induced by Interleukin-1α in Explant Culture
Background and Aims: Chondrocytes and their differentiation play a central role in joint diseases. Effect of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 on chondrocyte characteristics and differentiation is not clearly understood. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of TGF-β1 on tissue characteristics and morphology of chondrocytes against degradation induced by interleuk...
متن کاملLocal apoptosis promotes collagen production by monocyte-derived cells in transforming growth factor β1-induced lung fibrosis
BACKGROUND Collagen-containing leukocytes (CD45+Col-I+) accumulate in diseased and fibrotic tissues. However, the precise identity of these cells and whether injury is required for their recruitment remain unknown. Using a murine model of pulmonary fibrosis in which an inducible, bioactive form of the human transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 gene is targeted to the lung, we characterized the c...
متن کاملLuteinization factor-stimulated steroidogenesis in porcine granulosa cells.
Luteinization stimulator (LS), an intrafollicular compound of preovulatory (5-8 mm) follicles, increased both the basal and gonadotropins-stimulated production of progesterone by immature (1-3 mm) granulosa cells. The mechanism by which LS enhance steroidogenesis was investigated by studying the modulation of progesterone biosynthesis from exogenous cholesterol and pregnenolone in cultured porc...
