Expression of Growth Differentiation Factor-9 In the Developing Ovary and In Nonovarian Tissues
INTRODUCTION During mammalian ovarian organogenesis, the massive loss of oogonia via apoptosis is attenuated by the association of germ cells with somatic mesoepithelial cells of the gonadal ridge to form primordial follicles. It is suspected that the germ cell actively participates in this process via the production of local regulatory factors. Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9), a member...
متن کاملGrowth hormone-independent expression of insulin-like growth factor I messenger ribonucleic acid in extrahepatic tissues of the chicken.
The sex-linked dwarf (SLD) chicken, which lacks GH receptor (GHR), and its normal littermates provide a useful experimental system to investigate GH-dependent cellular responses. The GH dependence of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) expression in tissues was examined in SLD and normal chickens of the Gifu 20 strain. Four weeks after hatching, the most abundant expression of IGF-I messenger ...
متن کاملExpression of gonadotropin and activin receptor messenger ribonucleic acid in human ovarian epithelial neoplasms.
Activin receptors (ActRs) and gonadotropin receptor mRNA expression were investigated in 18 human ovarian epithelial neoplasms. Northern blot analysis showed the presence of 3.0-kb type Ia ActR, 6.0- and 3.0-kb type IIa ActR, and 5.0-kb type IIb ActR mRNA transcripts in total RNA prepared from the cancer tissues. One carcinoma showed two major transcripts of a follicle-stimulating hormone recep...
متن کاملEstrogen regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor messenger ribonucleic acid.
Previous studies have demonstrated that 17 beta-estradiol (E2) causes a 3-fold increase in epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in uterine membranes. We now report that the increase in uterine EGF receptor levels is due to an increase in the steady-state levels of EGF receptor mRNA. After a single E2 injection, EGF receptor mRNA levels, as determined by RNA blots, increase 3- to 4-fold betwe...
متن کاملSimultaneous Presence of G1 and G4 Mutations in Growth Differentiation Factor 9 Gene of Iranian Sheep
The fecundity in sheep has been much interested for producers due to its economical importance. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is an autosomal gene with over dominance effect for twosingle nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs), which resulted in sterility in homozygote mutant ewes and additive effect for three SNPs, without showing sterility event. In the present study, DNA was extracted from ...
