چکیده

We have previously reported that, in human granulosa cells, thiazolidinediones rosiglitazone and pioglitazone inhibit estrogen synthesis by interfering with androgen binding to aromatase, without an effect on aromatase mRNA or protein expression. In the current paper, we explore the effects of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone on the aromatase enzyme kinetic properties in human granulosa cells. The cells were incubated with various concentrations of testosterone or androstenedione, with or without rosiglitazone or pioglitazone. Estradiol and estrone concentrations in the conditioned tissue culture medium were measured by radioimmunoassay or immunosorbent assay. When testosterone was used as substrate, rosiglitazone or pioglitazone inhibited the V(max) by 35% (P < 0.001) and 24% (P < 0.001), respectively. When androstenedione was used as substrate, both rosiglitazone or pioglitazone inhibited V(max) by 13% (P < 0.007). We conclude that rosiglitazone or pioglitazone has no effect on K(m) but inhibits V(max) of aromatase in human granulosa cells, therefore, acting as noncompetitive inhibitors.

Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone inhibit estrogen synthesis in human granulosa cells by interfering with androgen binding to aromatase.

The effects of rosiglitazone or pioglitazone (thiazolidinediones, TZDs) on estrogen production and aromatase activity in human ovarian cells were examined. Human granulosa cells were incubated in the tissue culture medium supplemented with androstenedione or testosterone, with or without insulin, TZDs, or type 1 17β-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) inhibitor. Estrogen concentrations in th...

Background: The key enzyme of estrogen biosynthesis, aromatase cytochrome P450,is encoded by the CYP19 gene.CYP19 plays an important role in the development,function,an regulation of the female reproduction cycle. Thus, it is the potential candidate gene affecting fertility performance in human. CYP19 transcripts are expressed mainly in the ovary,testes,breast,adipose tissue and brain. Tissue e...

Involvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the estradiol production of ovine Sertoli cells

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors of transcription factors composed of three family members: PPARα, PPARβ/δ and PPARγ. This study was aimed to evaluate the role of PPARs in the estradiol production via follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the ovine Sertoli cells. At the first step, transcripts of PPARα, PPARβ /δ and PPARγ were evaluated by quantitative r...

Direct rosiglitazone action on steroidogenesis and proinflammatory factor production in human granulosa-lutein cells

BACKGROUND Ovarian granulosa cells are the predominant source of estradiol and progesterone biosynthesis in vivo. Rosiglitazone, a synthetic agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma), is applied as the treatment of insulin resistance including women with PCOS. The aim of the study was to investigate the direct effects of rosiglitazone on steroidogenesis and pr...
