Ovarian follicular growth and atresia: The relationship between cell proliferation and survival1,2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growth factors and steroids play an important role in the regulation of ovarian follicular development. In cattle, two of the earliest detectable differences between the healthy dominant follicle selected for development to the ovulatory stage and subordinate follicles destined to undergo atresia are the greater availability of IGF and the greater capacity to produce estradiol in the dominant follicle. We have shown that IGF-I and estradiol stimulate the proliferation of bovine granulosa cells in vitro and promote granulosa cell survival by increasing resistance to apoptosis. Furthermore, the ability of IGF-I and estradiol to increase resistance to apoptosis is tied to their ability to promote progression through the cell cycle. Blocking the cell cycle at the transition between the first gap phase and the DNA synthesis phase using a specific inhibitor prevented the protective effects of IGF-I and estradiol against apoptosis. Further experiments showed that the protective effect of IGF-I against apoptosis is mediated by the stimulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and its downstream target, protein kinase B/Akt. Constitutive activation of Akt by the infection of granulosa cells with a recombinant Akt adenovirus protected

Oocyte-granulosa-theca cell interactions during preantral follicular development
The preantral-early antral follicle transition is the penultimate stage of follicular development in terms of gonadotropin dependence and follicle destiny (growth versus atresia). Follicular growth during this period is tightly regulated by oocyte-granulosa-theca cell interactions. Formation of the theca cell layer is a key event that occurs during this transitional stage. Granulosal factor(s) ...
متن کاملRegulation of cell death and cell survival gene expression during ovarian follicular development and atresia.
Mammalian ovarian follicular development and atresia is closely regulated by the cross talk of cell death and cell survival signals, which include endocrine hormones (gonadotropins) and intra-ovarian regulators (gonadal steroids, cytokines and growth factors). The fate of the follicle is dependent on a delicate balance in the expression and actions of factors promoting follicular cell prolifera...

P-207: Deltamethrin-Induced Derangements Correlates with Estrogen Synthesis, Angiogenesis and Oxidative Stress
Background: Deltamethrin (DTM) is a pyrethroid derivative, which is the most potent products of Type 2 insecticides and acts by delaying the closure of sodium channels. Estrogen as a vascular growth factor on ovarian tissue plays an essential impact further to its involvement in follicular growth. On the other hand, the role of angiogenesis on ovarian tissue in inhibiting the apoptotic provoker...
