immunohistochemical analysis and role of secreted frizzled-related protein-4 in polycystic ovary-induced rat
Authors
abstract
objective: the role of wnt signaling and its antagonist; secreted frizzled related protein type 4 (sfpr4) was reported in rodent ovarian follicular development. this study examines immunolocalization of sfrp4 in ovaries of polycystic ovary (pco) rat model and evaluates its role in follicular growth arrest and its premature differentiation. materials and mathods: pco was induced with daily administration of testosterone propionate (tp) for 1 to 4 weeks while normal control rats were injected only with vehicle. the ovaries underwent histological examination, immunohistochemical analysis of sfrp4 and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star) and apoptosis analysis. results: four-week tp treatment significantly increased the primordial follicles, and significantly decreased the preantral and antral follicles compared to one week tp treatment. tp-treated animals had concomittantly, significant increase of sfpr4 immunoexpression in primordial, primary and preantral follicles as compared to one week tp-treated animals and control groups. furthermore, sfrp4 immunostaining strongly co-localized in apoptotic granulosa cells. interestingly, increased sfrp4 immunostaining was associated with increased star immunoexpression in follicular theca layer and stroma in four weeks tp-treated rats compared to one week tp-treated rats and control groups. conclusion: our data showed a highly significant association between sfrp4 expression and apoptosis in ovaries of four week tp-treated animals. moreover, co-localization of star and sfrp4 could suggest that sfrp4 may play a role in premature differentiation of follicles.

Increased expression of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 in polycystic kidneys.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common hereditary disease associated with progressive renal failure. Although cyst growth and compression of surrounding tissue may account for some loss of renal tissue, the other factors contributing to the progressive renal failure in patients with ADPKD are incompletely understood. Here, we report that secreted frizzled-related prote...

background: it has been reported that secreted frizzled-related protein-4 known as an antagonist of wnt signaling pathway plays a role in luteinization process of rodent granulosa cells. the purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine whether recombinant human secreted frizzled-related protein-4 (rhsfrp-4) could directly induce terminal differentiation of rat granulosa cells (gcs) and 2)...

BACKGROUND The secreted frizzled related proteins (sFRP) are soluble proteins thought to interfere with the Wnt signaling. Our group previously demonstrated that one of these members, sFRP-1/FrzA, is strongly expressed during early phases of the vascularization process in embryonic vasculature and in the endothelium of arteries and capillaries in adults and modulated vascular cell proliferation...

Decreased level of the anti-inflammatory adipokines, secreted frizzled-related protein 5 and adiponectin, in high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerotic rats
Introduction: The involvement of secreted frizzled-related protein5 (SFRP5) and adiponectin, two important adipokines produced by adipocytes, in cardiovascular diseases demand further assessment. Therefore, in this study the relation of the adipokines and atherosclerosis was evaluated in Rat. Materials and methods: For the study, thirty male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups (each group c...
