Molecular crosstalk between insulin-like growth factors and follicle-stimulating hormone in the regulation of granulosa cell function
CONCLUSION: FSH and locally produced IGFs form a positive feedback loop essential for preovulatory follicle formation in all species. Understanding the mechanisms by which FSH and IGFs interact to control GC function will help design new interventions to optimize follicle maturation, perfect treatment of ovulatory defects, improve in vitro fertilization, and develop new contraceptive approaches.PMID:38571513 | PMC:PMC10988955 | DOI:10.1002/rmb2.12575 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

The adipokines progranulin and omentin - novel regulators of basic ovarian cell functions
Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2024 Apr 4;22(1):38. doi: 10.1186/s12958-024-01215-9.ABSTRACTThe 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, apoptosis and steroidogenesis of cultured rabbit ovarian granulosa cells. To determine the importance of the interrelationships between granulosa cells and theca cells, we compared the influence of progranulin and omentin on progesterone and estradiol release in cultured granulosa cells and...

Enhancing endometrial receptivity: the roles of human chorionic gonadotropin in autophagy and apoptosis regulation in endometrial stromal cells
This study aimed to examine the impact of hCG on endometrial receptivity and its underlying mechanisms. An exploratory study was designed, and endometrial samples were obtained from women diagnosed with simple tubal infertility or male factor infertile (n = 12) and recurrent implantation failure (RIF, n = 10). Using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting, luteinizing hormone (LH)/hCG receptor (LHCGR) levels and autophagy were detected in the endometrial tissues. Subsequently, primary endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) were isolated from these control groups and treated with hCG to examine the presence of...

Novel erectile analyses revealed augmentable penile Lyve-1, the lymphatic marker, expression
CONCLUSIONS: The current in vivo system will potentially contribute to the assessment of penile pathology from a novel viewpoint. In addition, current analyses revealed inducible Lyve-1 expression for LPS injection and the erection state, which requires further analyses on penile lymphatic system.PMID:38566911 | PMC:PMC10985380 | DOI:10.1002/rmb2.12570 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Map-1a regulates Sertoli cell BTB dynamics through the cytoskeletal organization of microtubule and F-actin
Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2024 Apr 3;22(1):36. doi: 10.1186/s12958-024-01204-y.ABSTRACTMicrotubule-associated protein 1a (Map1a) is a microtubule (MT) regulatory protein that binds to the MT protofilaments in mammalian cells to promote MT stabilization. Maps work with MT cleavage proteins and other MT catastrophe-inducing proteins to confer MT dynamics to support changes in the Sertoli cell shape to sustain spermatogenesis. However, no functional studies are found in the literature to probe its role in spermatogenesis. Using an RNAi approach, coupled with the use of toxicant-induced testis (in vivo)- and Sertoli cell (in vit...
