The adult human ovary is composed of various cell types. Preovulatory follicles contain two distinct types of granulosa cells that arise during folliculogenesis as the cell populations segregate upon formation of the fluid-filled follicular antrum. The granulosa cells line in the follicle wall, reside very close to the basement membrane and are essential for estrogen production and follicular r...
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility. Anovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome is characterized by the failure of selection of a dominant follicle with arrest of follicle development at the 5-10 mm stage. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of anovulation associated with this disorder we have investigated at what follicle size human granulosa cells ...
1 Title 1 Resveratrol-induced mitochondrial synthesis and autophagy in oocytes derived from early antral 2 follicles of aged cows 3 Abstract 16 Mitochondrial numbers increase during oocyte growth. In this study, we collected oocytes and 17 granulosa cell complexes (OGCs) from early antral follicles (EAFs) of aged cows (> 120 months of 18 age) and examined the effects of resveratrol on mitochond...
Apoptosis in granulosa cells plays a crucial role in ovarian follicular atresia, but the intracellular regulating mechanism, especially the mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis signalling pathway, is still largely unknown. This study examined whether the mitochondrial pathway is associated with granulosa cell apoptosis during atresia in pig ovaries. Both mRNAs of caspase-9 and apoptotic protease-a...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in follicular development and survival. Granulosa cell death is associated with increased ROS, but the mechanism of granulosa cell death induced by ROS is not clear. In order to define the molecular link between ROS and granulosa cell death, COV434, human granulosa tumor cells, were treated with H2O2. Compared to control cells, H2O2 induced gra...
It is well established that rat ovarian granulosa cells produce tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). The synthesis and secretion of the enzyme are induced by gonadotropins, and correlate well with the time of follicular rupture in vivo. We have found that in contrast, mouse granulosa cells produce a different form of plasminogen activator, the urokinase-type (uPA). As with tPA synthesis in the r...
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3), an active form of Vitamin D, is photosynthesized in the skin of vertebrates in response to solar ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B). VD3 deficiency can cause health problems such as immune disease, metabolic disease, and bone disorders. It has also been demonstrated that VD3 is involved in reproductive functions. Female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone ...
The discovery of displaced granulosa cells in the fallopian tube is concerning for a granulosa cell neoplasm and can lead to further surgical intervention. Discerning the risk of neoplasm can be challenging, even with immunohistochemical staining of CD56, a highly sensitive marker of granulosa cell neoplasm. A 48-year-old underwent an uncomplicated hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy for s...
BACKGROUND Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and its receptors have been identified in female reproductive tissues. CRH regulates follicular maturation, ovulation, luteolysis and steroidgenesis. A CRH-related peptide stresscopin (SCP), or urocortin III (Ucn3), has recently been identified, but its functions in the ovary remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the effe...
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...
