PLoS ONE, 2015 In studies using isolated ovarian granulosa and thecal cells it is important to assess the degree of cross contamination. Marker genes commonly used for granulosa cells include FSHR, CYP19A1 and AMH while CYP17A1 and INSL3 are used for thecal cells.

Expression, transport, and storage of fetuin-B in human granulosa cells [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFetuin-B is crucial in fertilization through inhibiting ovastacin, an enzyme that hardens the zona pellucida. Primarily synthesized in the liver, fetuin-B is also found in the placenta, tongue, and follicular fluid produced by granulosa cells. This study

Luzindole and 4P-PDOT block the effect of melatonin on bovine granulosa cell apoptosis and cell cycle depending on its concentration [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Granulosa cells play an essential physiological role in mediating the follicle development and survival or apoptosis of granulosa cells dictate the follicle development or atresia.

OAZ1 knockdown enhances viability and inhibits ER and LHR transcriptions of granulosa cells in geese. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 An increasing number of studies suggest that ornithine decarboxylase antizyme 1 (OAZ1), which is regarded as a tumor suppressor gene, regulates follicular development, ovulation, and steroidogenesis.

PRMT5 regulates ovarian follicle development by facilitating Wt1 translation
eLife, 2021 Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5) is the major type II enzyme responsible for symmetric dimethylation of arginine. Here, we found that PRMT5 was expressed at high level in ovarian granulosa cells of growing follicles.

Mechanism and Intervention of the NPY1R/CREB Signaling Axis in Regulating Inflammatory Response in Aged Ovarian Granulosa Cells and Ovarian Senescence. [PDF]
FASEB JAging‐associated upregulation of NPY1R drives p‐CREB activation, triggering inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and extracellular matrix imbalance to promote ovarian senescence. Pharmacological inhibition of NPY1R with BIBO 3304 restores ovarian homeostasis, highlighting a therapeutic strategy for reproductive aging. ABSTRACT Ovarian senescence is

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.
