Follicle-stimulating hormone is expressed in ovarian follicles of chickens and promotes ovarian granulosa cell proliferation

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), an important hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) hormone, is secreted by the pituitary gland. This study confirms that FSH is expressed in chicken follicles at different stages, and positive FSHβ mRNA signals ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: MiR-140 targets RAP2A to enable the proliferation of insulin-treated ovarian granulosa cells

Journal of Ovarian Research, 2020
Background We elucidated the role of specific MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and explained the changes in the proliferation of granulosa cells. Excised ovarian cortex specimens were collected for miRNA profiling

The effect of total flavonoids of Epimedium on granulosa cell development in laying hens

Poultry Science, 2020
To investigate the impact of total flavonoids of Epimedium (TFE) on the development of follicles of laying hens, 3 types of follicles including primary, prehierarchical, and preovulatory follicles were selected to obtain the follicular granulosa cells ...

USP9X as a Candidate Mediator of Prenatal Aspirin‐Induced Ovarian Reserve Reduction in Offspring Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study suggests that prenatal aspirin exposure is associated with reduced ovarian reserve in offspring, associated with HDAC1‐linked epigenetic downregulation of Usp9x as a candidate mechanism. These preclinical findings provide new insights into fetal‐origin ovarian disorders and contribute to the evidence base concerning aspirin's gestational ...

A Biomarker‐Driven Ovary–Endometrium Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Mimicking 3D Multicellular Complexity and Menstrual Cyclicity for Predicting Reproductive Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a dual‐organ, biomarker‐integrated ovaryendometrium organ‐on‐a‐chip that recapitulates 3D tissue complexity, menstrual cycle dynamics, and hormonal crosstalk. This platform enables real‐time, cell‐typespecific fluorescent readouts of reproductive toxicity using ANGPTL4 and SERPINB2 as early‐response reporters.

Transcriptome comparisons identify new cell markers for theca interna and granulosa cells from small and large antral ovarian follicles.

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.

Proprotein convertase furin regulates apoptosis and proliferation of granulosa cells in the rat ovary. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Folliculogenesis is tightly controlled by a series of hormones, growth factors and cytokines, many of which are secreted as proproteins and require processing by proteases before becoming functional.

PFOS Disrupts Oocyte Maturation and Early Embryonic Development via Ovarian FOXK1 O‐GlcNAcylation in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure disrupts oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. This study elucidates the mechanism by which enhanced O‐GlcNAcylation of FOXK1 underlies the PFOS‐induced reduction of progesterone levels in granulosa cells and the disturbance of follicular microenvironment.

The adipokines progranulin and omentin – novel regulators of basic ovarian cell functions

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
The present study aimed to examine the effects of progranulin and omentin on basic ovarian cell functions. For this purpose, we investigated the effects of the addition of progranulin and omentin (0, 0.1, 1, or 10 ng/ml) on the viability, proliferation ...
