Progesterone, acting via the nuclear progesterone receptor (PGR), reduces apoptosis in periovulatory granulosa cells, and is a likely mediator of the anti-atretic actions of LH. The underlying mechanisms, however, have not been clearly defined. In this study, we sought to identify progesterone-mediated transcriptional changes involved in apoptosis regulation. Granulosa cells from immature, gonadotropin-primed female rats were treated in vitro with 100 nM of the PGR antagonist Org 31710. Transcri ...[more]
