The involvement of FSH and triiodothyronine (T(3)) in circadian clocks was investigated using immature granulosa cells of ovaries during the progress of cell maturation. Granulosa cells were prepared from preantral follicles of mouse Period2 (Per2)-dLuc reporter gene transgenic rats injected subcutaneously with the synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen diethylstilbestrol. Analysis of the cellular clo...
Low progesterone levels are associated with luteal phase deficiency in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The mechanisms regulating progesterone biosynthesis in the granulosa cells from women with PCOS is largely unknown. Fractalkine is expressed in human ovaries, and is reported to regulate progesterone production in granulosa cells of healthy women. In the current study, we aimed to...
The cyclical changes in the gonadotropins stimulate ovarian follicular development either to the ovulatory stage or to undergo atresia. One such intrafollicular factor may be inter-cellular communication via gap junctions. We have examined the effects of two agents (retinoids and alkanols), known to disrupt or uncouple gap junction, on FSH-stimulated LH receptor induction and progestrone synthe...
Fas ligand (FasL) and its receptor Fas have been implicated in granulosa cell apoptosis during follicular atresia. Although interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is believed to be involved in the regulation Fas expression in differentiated granulosa or granulosa-luteal cells, the expression of this cytokine and its role in the regulation of the granulosa cell Fas/FasL system and apoptosis during follicular ...
Phagocytic cells disposing of dying granulosa cells in the atretic ovarian follicles were morphologically studied in guinea pig ovaries at various stages of estrous cycle. Epon embedded semithin sections stained with toluidine blue were observed with a light microscope, and ultrathin sections were examined under a transmission electron microscope. Frozen sections were processed for acid phospha...
Vitellogenic stage carp ovaries were collected aseptically and the cells of ovarian follicles were dispersed by trypsin treatment and cultivated as monolayer. Control cultures were grown in medium M199 alone. Media for experimental cultures were supplemented either with 100 µl ml-1 of CPH and CPS-carp GnRH (cultivated pituitary cell secretion affected by 10-6, 10-8, 10-10 M carp GnRH). The dire...
To investigate the effect of thyroid hormone on the proliferative activity and apoptosis of granulosa cells at the varying stages of follicular growth, porcine granulosa cells obtained from small (1-2 mm), medium (3-5 mm) and large (6-11 mm) follicles were cultured under a serum-free condition in the presence or absence of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH; 20 ng/ml), with or without triiodothy...
It has been known that EGF-like factor secreted from LH-stimulated granuloma cells acts on granulosa cells and cumulus cells to induce ovulation process. Granulosa cells are changed the morphology with differentiating cell functions to produce progesterone. Cumulus cells are detached to make a space between the cells to accumulate hyaluronan rich matrix. LH also changes extracellular matrix (EC...
Genetic ablation of connexin37 (Cx37) or connexin43 (Cx43), the two gap junction proteins expressed by mouse ovarian granulosa cells, has been shown to result in impaired follicle development. We used patch-clamp techniques to evaluate quantitatively the contribution of these connexins to gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) among granulosa cells. The coupling conductance derived f...
This study determined effects of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) alone and in combination with tumour necrosis factor (TNF), on granulosa cells from small (5-10 mm diameter) and large (>10-25 mm) follicles during follicular and luteal phases of the cycle and during periods of acyclicity. Granulosa cells were collected from ovaries of premenopausal women undergoing oophorectomy. The cells wer...
