Project description:The current study was designed to investigate the actions of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) on primordial follicle assembly. Ovarian primordial follicles develop from the breakdown of oocyte nests during fetal development for the human and immediately after birth in rodents. AMH was found to inhibit primordial follicle assembly, decrease the initial primordial follicle pool size and promote the persistence of small oocyte nests in a rat ovarian organ culture. The AMH expression was found to be primarily in the stromal tissue of the ovaries at this period of development, suggesting a stromal-epithelial cell interaction for primordial follicle assembly. AMH was found to promote alterations in the ovarian transcriptome during primordial follicle assembly with over 200 genes with altered expression. A gene network was identified suggesting a potential central role for the Fgf2/Nudt6 antisense transcript in the follicle assembly process. A number of signal transduction pathways are regulated by AMH actions on the ovarian transcriptome, in particular the transforming growth factor – beta (TGFß) signaling process. AMH is the first hormone/protein shown to have an inhibitory action on primordial follicle assembly. Due to the critical role of the primordial follicle pool size for female reproduction, elucidation of the factors, such as AMH, that regulate the assembly process will provide insights into potential therapeutics to manipulate the pool size and female reproduction. We used microarrays to determine genes expressed differentially between control and AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) treated P0 ovary

Project description:The oocytes found within the primordial follicles of mammalian ovaries remain quiescent for months to years until they receive the appropriate signals to undergo the primordial to primary follicle transition and initiate folliculogenesis. The molecular mechanisms and extracellular signaling factors that regulate this process remain to be fully elucidated. The current study investigates the mechanisms utilized by anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH; i.e. Müllerian inhibitory substance) to inhibit the primordial to primary follicle transition. Ovaries from 4-day-old rats were placed into organ culture and incubated in the absence or presence of AMH, either alone or in combination with known stimulators of follicle transition, including basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), kit ligand (KITL), or keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). Following 10 days of culture, the ovaries were sectioned, stained, and morphologically evaluated to determine the percentage of primordial versus developing follicles. As previously demonstrated, AMH treatment decreased primordial to primary follicle transition. Interestingly, AMH inhibited the stimulatory actions of KITL, bFGF, and KGF. Therefore, AMH can inhibit the basal and stimulated development of primordial follicles. To investigate the mechanism of AMH actions, the influence AMH has on the ovarian transcriptome was analyzed. AMH treatment when compared with controls was found to alter the expression of 707 genes. The overall effect of AMH exposure is to decrease the expression of stimulatory factors, increase the expression of inhibitory factors, and regulate cellular pathways (e.g. transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway) that result in the inhibition of primordial follicle development. Analysis of the regulatory factors and cellular pathways altered by AMH provides a better understanding of the molecular control of primordial follicle development.

Project description:Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) has an inhibitory effect on ovarian follicle development. However, the mechanism by which AMH regulates folliculogenesis remains to be elucidated. In this study we aimed to investigate the changes in transcriptome of preantral to small antral mice follicles after culturing with AMH and thereby identify candidate genes to be involved.

In this study we aimed to investigate the changes in transcriptome of preantral to small antral mice follicles after culturing with AMH and thereby identify candidate genes to be involved. Preantral to small antral follicles were collected from dissected ovaries from six to eight weeks old female C57BL/6Tac mice. Twelve hour as well as 24 hour experiments were performed in two different concentrations of AMH. The experiments were performed in triplicate. In total 18 samples: 3 x conc. of AMH, 2 x time points, 3 x experiments (triplicate). Samples are comparable within each experiment, that is, sample 1-3 or 4-6 or 7-9 or 10-12 or 13-15 or 16-18.

Preantral to small antral follicles were collected from dissected ovaries from six to eight weeks old female C57BL/6Tac mice. Twelve hour as well as 24 hour experiments were performed in one fixed concentration of AMH and an untreated control. The experiments were performed in quadroplicate. In total 16 samples: 2 x conc. (control and 50 ng/ml AMH), 2 x time points, 4 x experiments (quadroplicate). Samples are pairwise comparable within each experiment, that is, sample 1-2 or 3-4 or 5-6 or 7-8 or 9-10 or 11-12 or 13-14 or 15-16. Data are also comparable groupwise; (1,5,9,13) vs (2,6,10,14) or (3,7,11,15) vs (4,8,12,16).

Project description:Primordial follicle assembly is the process by which ovarian primordial follicles are formed. During follicle assembly oocyte nests break down and a layer of pre-granulosa cells surrounds individual oocytes to form primordial follicles. The pool of primordial follicles formed is the source of oocytes for ovulation during a femaleM-bM-^@M-^Ys reproductive life. Complex networks of cellular signaling and gene expression are essential for any biological process. A systems biology experimental approach provides a global view of these gene relationships in a particular developmental process. The current study utilized a systems approach to detect all genes that are differentially expressed in response to seven different growth factor and hormone treatments known to influence primordial follicle assembly in a neonatal rat ovary culture system. One novel growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2), was experimentally determined to inhibit follicle assembly. The different growth factor and hormone treatments were all found to affect the same physiological pathways, but each treatment affected a unique set of differentially expressed genes (signature gene set). A gene bionetwork analysis identified gene modules of coordinately expressed interconnected genes and it was found that different gene modules appear to accomplish distinct tasks during primordial follicle assembly. Unique gene networks were identified for a number of the modules and signature gene sets. Predictions of physiological pathways important to follicle assembly were validated using ovary culture experiments in which ERK1/2 (MAPK1) activity was increased. A number of the highly interconnected genes in these gene networks have previously been linked to primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and polycystic ovarian disease syndrome (PCOS). Observations have identified novel factors and gene networks that regulate primordial follicle assembly. This systems approach has helped elucidate the molecular control of primordial follicle assembly and provided potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of ovarian disease. We used microarrays to determine genes expressed differentially between control and P0 ovaries treated with 7 growth factors: AMH, CTGF, estradiol (E2), Activin-a, FGF2, progesterone (P4), and TNFa. RNA samples from 7 control samples are compared to 3 growth factor treated ovary samples for each AMH (human Anti-MM-CM-<lerian hormone), CTGF (connective tissue growth factor ), estradiol (E2), TNF (tumor necrosis factor ), FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor 2), Inhba (inhibin, beta A), and 2 samples for progesterone (P4).
