Project description:Human granulosa cells are follicular cells surrounding the oocyte. Human granulosa cells are retrieved during in vitro fertilization a process where patients undergo hormonal stimulation including FSH and LH/hCG stimulation. Under the influence of the luteinizing hormone (LH) a process called luteinization they differentiate to luteal cells and contribute to the corpus luteum. Therefore, this cellular system is a good model for human corpus luteum (CL). To study processes within the human CL, IVF-derived GCs from patients were cultured for two to five days and then analyzed with mass spectrometry based shotgun proteomics.

Project description:The LH surge is a pivotal event that triggers multiple key ovarian processes including oocyte maturation, cumulus expansion, follicular wall rupture and luteinization of mural granulosa and theca cells. Recently, LH-dependent activation of the Hippo signaling pathway has been shown to be required for the differentiation of granulosa cells into luteal cells. This study aimed to better characterize the role of the Hippo pathway in the LH response in murine granulosa cells. In order to highlight specific roles of Hippo in murine GC physiology, we conducted a microarray analysis to identify genes differentially expressed in cultured granulosa cells with knocked-down expression of YAP1/TAZ (the two co-regulators of Hippo signaling).

Project description:A surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland triggers ovulation, oocyte maturation, and luteinization for successful reproduction in mammals. Since the signaling molecules RAS and ERK1/2 are activated by a LH surge in granulosa cells of preovulatory follicles, we disrupted Erk1/2 in mouse granulosa cells and provide in vivo evidence that these kinases are necessary for LH-induced oocyte resumption of meiosis, ovulation, and luteinization. In addition, biochemical analyses and selected disruption of the Cebpb gene in granulosa cells demonstrate that C/EBP is a critical downstream mediator of ERK1/2 activation. These mouse models provide in vivo systems in which to define the context specific and molecular mechanisms by which granulosa cells respond to LH and these mechanisms are relevant to the regulation of human fertility and infertility. Immature wild type or ERK1/2 conditonal knock-out mice were injected with 5IU equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG)-48h followed by 5 IU hCG injection. The ovarian granulosa cells were collected at hCG 0h, 2.5h, or 4h and the gene expression pforiles were compared by microarray method.

Project description:Human primary granulosa cells (GCs) derived from women, undergoing oocyte retrieval, can be cultured and are a cellular model for the study of human ovarian functions. In vitro they change rapidly, resembling initially cells of the preovulatory follicle and then cells of the corpus luteum. They are derived from individual patients and their different medical history, lifestyle and age lead to heterogeneity. Thus, cells can rarely be ideally matched for cellular experiments or, if available, only in small quantities. We reasoned that cryopreservation of human GCs may be helpful. Previous studies indicated feasibility of such an approach, but low survival of GCs was reported and consequences on GC functionality were only partially evaluated. We tested a slow freezing protocol (employing FCS and DMSO) of GCs upon isolation from follicular fluid. We compared cryopreserved and subsequently thawed cells with fresh, not cryopreserved ones, from the same patients. About 80 % of human GCs survived freezing/thawing. Neither morphology, nor levels of cell-cell contact, mitochondrial and steroidogenic genes were different between the two groups in cells cultured for 1-5 days. A proteomic analysis revealed no statistical significance in the abundance of a total of 5962 proteins. Both groups produced comparable basal levels of progesterone and responded similarly to hCG with elevation of progesterone. Taken together, we describe a rapid and readily available method for the cryopreservation of human GCs. We anticipate that it will allow future large-scale experiments and may thereby improve cellular studies with human ovarian cells.

Project description:Melatonin is a known modulator of follicle development, it acts through several molecular cascades via binding to its two high-affinity, G-protein coupled receptors MT1 and MT2. Even though it is believed that melatonin can modulate granulosa cell (GC) functions, there is still limited knowledge of how it can act in human GC through MT1 and MT2 and which one is the major receptor implicated in the effects of melatonin on the metabolic processes in the dominant follicle. To better characterize the roles of the MT1 and MT2 receptors on the effects of melatonin on follicular atresia and the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of granulosa cells during the antral stage, human granulosa-like tumor cells (KGN) were treated with specific melatonin receptor agonists and antagonists, and gene expression was analyzed with RNA-seq technology. Following appropriate normalization and the application of a fold change cut-off of 1.5 (FC 1.5, p ≤ 0.05) for each treatment, lists of the principal differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are generated. Analysis of major upstream regulators suggested that the MT1 receptor may be involved in the melatonin antiproliferative effect by reprogramming the metabolism of human GC by activating the PKB signaling pathway. Our data suggest that melatonin may act complementary through both MT1 and MT2 receptors to modulate human GC steroidogenesis, proliferation, and differentiation. However, MT2 receptors may be the ones implicated in transducing the effects of melatonin on the prevention of GC luteinization and follicle atresia at the antral follicular stage through stimulating the PKA pathway.

Project description:Through the application of a transcriptome profiling strategy, we were able to ascertain the differentially expressed genes and complicated pathways involved in the interactions between Atractylenolide-I and feline ovarian granulosa cells. Based on the results of our transcriptome profiling study, we found the highest number of DEGs participated in cholesterol metabolism pathways, the activation of which might be a major factor underlying Atractylenolide I promote the luteinization of the feline ovarian granulosa cells.

Project description:Cellular dedifferentiation signifies the withdrawal of cells from a specific differentiated state into a M-bM-^@M-^Xstem cellM-bM-^@M-^Y-like undifferentiated state. However, the mechanism of dedifferentiation remains obscure. We showed that follicular granulosa cells (GC), which have distinct functions in vivo, can dedifferentiate during culture in vitro and acquire multipotency. We investigated the dedifferentiation of GC using global gene expression analyses. Total RNA was isolated from GCs to DFOG cells at 5 time points during dedifferentiation (cultured in 0day, 1day, 2day, 4day and 7day). Each timepoint was performed in triplicate (ie, biological replicates). Using Affymetrix porcine genome array, we performed microarray time course experiments to analyze gene expression profiles during GC dedifferentiation.

Project description:The forkhead box transcription factor FOXO1 is highly expressed in granulosa cells of growing follicles but is down-regulated by FSH in culture or by LH-induced luteinization in vivo. To analyze the function of FOXO1, we infected rat and mouse granulosa cells with adenoviral vectors expressing two FOXO1 mutants: a gain-of-function mutant FOXOA3 that has two serine residues and one threonine residue mutated to alanines rendering this protein constitutively active and nuclear, and a FOXOA3-mutant DNA-binding domain (mDBD) in which the DBD is mutated. The infected cells were then treated with vehicle or FSH for specific time intervals. Infection of the granulosa cells was highly efficient, caused only minimal apoptosis, and maintained FOXO1 protein at levels of the endogenous protein observed in cells before exposure to FSH. RNA was prepared from control and adenoviral infected cells exposed to vehicle or FSH for 12 and 24 h. Affymetrix microarray and database analyses identified, and real time RT-PCR verified, that genes within the lipid, sterol, and steroidogenic biosynthetic pathways (Hmgcs1, Hmgcr, Mvk, Sqle, Lss, Cyp51, Tm7sf2, Dhcr24 and Star, Cyp11a1, and Cyp19), including two key transcriptional regulators Srebf1 and Srebf2 of cholesterol biosynthesis and steroidogenesis (Nr5a1, Nr5a2), were major targets induced by FSH and suppressed by FOXOA3 and FOXOA3-mDBD in the cultured granulosa cells. By contrast, FOXOA3 and FOXOA3- mDBD induced expression of Cyp27a1 mRNA that encodes an enzyme involved in cholesterol catabolism to oxysterols. The genes up-regulated by FSH in cultured granulosa cells were also induced in granulosa cells of preovulatory follicles and corpora lutea collected from immature mice primed with FSH (equine choriogonadotropin) and LH (human choriogonadotropin), respectively. Conversely, Foxo1 and Cyp27a1 mRNAs were reduced by these same treatments. Collectively, these data provide novel evidence that FOXO1 may play a key role in granulosa cells to modulate lipid and sterol biosynthesis, thereby preventing elevated steroidogenesis during early stages of follicle development. Experiment Overall Design: Immature rat granulosa cells were affected with either control (GFP) or FOXO1 mutant adenovirus (FOXOA3 and FOXOA3-mDBD) for 4 hours. Then the cells were treated with either FSH or vehicle for 24 hours. The gene expression profiles for the four treatment samples (control, control +FSH, FOXOA3 + FSH, FOXOA3-mDBD + FSH) were compared using Rat Genome 230.2 Arrays with one array per sample.
