Project description:The growth of the mammalian ovarian follicle requires the formation of a fluid filled antrum, and maturation and differentiation of the ovarian granulosa cells, largely under the control of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Many follicles will regress and die by a process called atresia at this early antral stage. We therefore decided to analyse the gene expression profiles of granulosa cells cultured in the presence or absence of FSH and Tumour Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), an apoptotic factor, to simulate the key influences. Different concentratons of FSH and TNFa in granulosa culture were used to determine effective conditions via estradiol and progesterone production, and cell number. RNA for the array experiments and quantitative real time PCR was extracted from cells cultured with FSH added at 0.33 and TNF-alpha at 50 ng/ml. Four treatments of : (1) FSH alone, (2) TNF-alpha alone, (3) FSH + TNF-alpha and (4) control = neither drug, with replicates (n=4, except controls n=3 ) were used to generate RNA for the gene expression arrays (n=15)

Project description:The aim of the study was to describe and characterise the phosphodiesterases in the human ovary. Part of the study included results from analysis of mRNA microarray data from follicles and granulosa cells from three previously published studies(E-MEXP-3783, E-MTAB-2203, E-MTAB-1670). In addition, we used data from two unpublished studies with granulosa cells isolated from 4-6 mm antral follicles and preantral follicles. The included studies covered the folliculogenesis from the preantral stage to after induction of ovulation. For comparison, previously published dataset from heart (E-GEOD-22253, E-MEXP-2654), parietal cortex (E-GEOD-35977), cerebellum (E-GEOD-35974), lung (E-GEOD-43458), and peripheral blood mononucleated cells(E-GEOD-23832) were included in addition to various tissues from Affymetrix's sample data set.

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.

Project description:In mammals, ovarian folliculogenesis leading to the ovulation of completely mature oocytes is a long and complex process that is regulated at different levels. The mechanisms that underlie the selection of one or several dominant follicles as well as the regulation of the number of ovulating follicles are largely unknown. Atresia is a phenomenon which affects the majority of developing follicles. In this project, we proposed to study the gene regulation of small antral follicles that are either healthy or undergoing atresia in pigs). Towards this purpose, we made a comparative transcriptomics study on granulosa cells, using a 9K nylon pig microarray (GPL3729) on granulosa cells from either small healthy antral follicles (SHF) or small antretic follicles (SAF). The images were quantified using AGscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Transcriptomic analysis evidenced 1682 (912) differentially expressed genes with a 5% (1%) FDR between the two follicle classes. This research project which implicated three laboratories from INRA: "Laboratoire de Genetique Cellulaire" (UMR444-LGC), "Station d'Amelioration Genetique des Animaux" (UR 631-SAGA) and "Physiologie des Comportements et de la reproduction" (UMR 85-PRC) benefited from both European funding through SABRE project and French ANR funding through GenOvul project. Keywords: transcriptome analysis, pig, cattle, ovary, folliculogenesis, gene expression, cDNA microarray The data were obtained from 13 RNA samples: 6 small healthy follicles samples and 7 small atretic follicles. They were hybridized on a 9K pig nylon microarray (GPL3729).

Project description:Inhibin α knockout (Inha-/-) female mice develop sex cord-stromal ovarian cancer with complete penetrance and previous studies demonstrate that the pituitary gonadotropins [follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)] are influential modifiers of granulosa cell tumor development and progression in inhibin-deficient females. Recent studies have demonstrated that Inha-/- ovarian follicles develop precociously to the early antral stage in prepubertal mice without any increase in serum FSH and these studies suggested that in the absence of inhibins, granulosa cells differentiate abnormally, and thus at sexual maturity may undergo an abnormal response to gonadotropin signaling. To test this hypothesis, we stimulated immature WT and Inha-/- female mice prior to gross tumor formation with gonadotropin analogs, and subsequently examined post-gonadotropin induced ovarian follicle development, as well as preovulatory and hCG-induced gene expression changes in granulosa cells. We find that at three weeks of age, inhibin-deficient ovaries do not show further antral development nor undergo cumulus expansion. Widespread alterations in the transcriptome of gonadotropin-treated Inha-/- granulosa cells suggest that gonadotropins initiate an improper program of cell differentiation in Inha-/- cells. Overall, our experiments reveal that inhibins are essential for the normal gonadotropin-dependent response of granulosa cells.

Project description:In animals, the maternal-to-embryonic transition (MET) is an important step occurring in the first days of early development. This important transition involves the degradation of maternal transcripts that have been stocked during oogenesis and used until this transition. Moreover, some precise and specific control mechanisms must govern the adequate synchronization of the MET events to promote embryonic genome activation. These mechanisms are not well understood, but microRNAs could be one of the mechanisms involved. MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs involved in a growing number of pathways by their post-transcriptional repression of mRNA translation. Thus, we analyzed microRNA expression during oocyte maturation by comparing GV-oocytes with MII-oocytes in cow. Groups of 300 Oocytes_GV and Oocytes_MII were used for miRNA expression analysis. The miRNA expressions were determined using the MiRMammalia_11.0 array from LC Sciences.
