Inductions of granulosa cell luteinization and cumulus expansion are dependent on the fibronectin-integrin pathway during ovulation process in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 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.

The human oocyte and cumulus cells relationship: new insights from the cumulus cell transcriptome [PDF]
MHR: Basic science of reproductive medicine, 2010 It is widely recognized that bi-directional communication exists between the human oocyte and cumulus cells (CCs) which is essential for the production of competent oocytes. CCs originate from granulosa cells (GCs) which differentiate into mural GCs and CCs during follicular antrum formation.

Involvement of the serine protease inhibitor, SERPINE2, and the urokinase plasminogen activator in cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 2 (SERPINE2) inhibits urokinase-type plasminogen activator (PLAU) and tissue-type plasminogen activator.

Apoptosis in cumulus cells during in vitro maturation of bovine cumulus-enclosed oocytes [PDF]
Reproduction, 2003 Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether apoptosis occurs in cumulus cells during in vitro maturation (IVM) of bovine cumulus-enclosed oocytes (CEOs). The bovine CEOs obtained from ovaries from an abattoir were cultured for 24 h in IVM medium in the presence or absence of 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum.

Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2023 Objective Endometriosis causes a decrease in oocyte quality. However, this mechanism is not fully understood. The present study aimed to analyze the effect of endometriosis on cumulus cell adenosine triphosphate ATP level, the number of mitochondria, and

Expression and regulation of estrogen receptor 2 and its coregulators in mouse granulosa cells
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022 The cooperative effects of estrogen and oocyte-derived paracrine factors (ODPFs) play critical roles in the normal development of ovarian follicles; however, the mechanism underlying this cooperation has not been well studied.

MicroRNA Expression in Bovine Cumulus Cells in Relation to Oocyte Quality
Non-Coding RNA, 2017 Cumulus cells play an essential role during oocyte maturation and the acquisition of fertilizability and developmental competence. Micro(mi)RNAs can post-transcriptionally regulate mRNA expression, and we hypothesized that miRNA profiles in cumulus cells
