Gene expression in mice with conditional over-activation of hedgehog signaling in the ovary


ABSTRACT: The objective of the study was to determine the cause of anovulation in transgenic mice with conditional over-activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway in the ovary. In Amhr2(cre/+)-SmoM2 transgenic mice, a constitutively active version of the hedgehog signal transducer, smoothened (SMO), known as SMOM2, is expressed in the ovary following cre-mediated recombination. The hypothesis tested is that changes in the neonatal ovary caused by over-activation of hedgehog signaling leads to the life-long anovulation phenotype in transgenic mice. Microarrays were used to examine differences in gene expression in ovaries of two day old wild-type mice (Amhr2(+/+)-SmoM2) and transgenic mice (Amhr2(cre/+)-SmoM2) in which the hedgehog signaling pathway was conditionally over-activated in the ovary. Two microarrays were performed. RNA samples were prepared from ovaries of 8 Amhr2(+/+)-SmoM2 control mice and 8 Amhr2(cre/+)-SmoM2 mutant mice on day two of age. RNA quality was assessed by measurement of ribosomal RNA on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.

The hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway is critical for ovarian function in Drosophila, but its role in the mammalian ovary has not been defined. Previously, expression of a dominant active allele of the HH signal transducer protein smoothened (SMO) in Amhr2(cre/+)SmoM2 mice caused anovulation in association with a lack of smooth muscle in the theca of developing follicles. The current study examined events during the first 2 wk of life in Amhr2(cre/+)SmoM2 mice to gain insight into the cause of ano  ...[more]
