Project description:Neurotensin (NTS) is a small 13 amino acid neuropeptide. In the mouse ovary, the expression of Nts ovary increases 250-fold 4h after hCG. Similarly, in granulosa cells, the mRNA levels of Nts increased rapidly at 4h after hCG stimulation. Interestingly, the Nts mRNA levels in granulosa cells were approximately 8-fold higher at 4 h after hCG than in whole ovaries. However, the potential mechanisms of NTS action in the ovulatory process are unknown. The present study determined the regulatory mechanisms driving the expression of Nts and functions of the NTS using primary mouse granulosa cells. hCG activated PKA and p38MAPK signaling pathways, and inhibitors for these pathways abolished hCG-induced increases in the levels of Nts. To identify the genes regulated by NTS, high throughput RNA sequencing was performed using Nts silenced mouse granulosa cells treated with or without hCG. Sequencing data analysis revealed that Nts knockdown affects the expression of several genes that were not previously identified in the ovary. qPCR analysis verified hCG-induced, Nts-regulated expression of a selection of these genes. This study revealed novel genes regulated by NTS, thereby providing a function for NTS in the ovulatory process.

Project description:Determining the spatial and temporal expression of genes involved in the ovulatory pathway is critical for the understanding of the role of each estrogen receptor in the modulation of folliculogenesis and ovulation. Estrogen receptor (ER) b is highly expressed in ovarian granulosa cells and mice lacking ERb (bERKO) are subfertile due to inefficient ovulation. Previous work has focused on isolated granulosa cells or cultured follicles and while informative, provides confounding results due to the heterogeneous cell types present including granulosa, theca and oocytes and exposure to in vitro conditions. Herein, we isolated preovulatory granulosa cells from WT and ERb-null mice using laser capture microdissection to examine the genomic transcriptional response downstream of PMSG (mimicking FSH) and PMSG/hCG (mimicking LH) stimulation. This allows for a direct comparison of in vivo granulosa cells at the same stage of development from both WT and ERb-null ovaries. ERb-null granulosa cells showed altered expression of genes known to be regulated by FSH (Akap12 and Runx2) as well as not previously reported (Arnt2 and Pou5f1) in WT granulosa cells. Our analysis also identified 304 genes not previously associated with ERb in granulosa cells. LH responsive genes including Abcb1b and Fam110c show reduced expression in ERb-null granulosa cells; however novel genes including Rassf2 and Megf10 were also identified as being downstream of LH signaling in granulosa cells. Collectively, our data suggests that granulosa cells from ERb-null ovaries may not be appropriately differentiated and are unable to respond properly to gonadotropin stimulation We used microarray to compare the gene expression profiles of wiltype (WT) and Erb-null (bERKO) preovulatory granulosa cells as they respond to either PMSG or PMSG+hCG treatments. Laser microdissection was used to collect a purified population of granulosa cells only from preovulatory follicles. We chose to compre the response to PMSG or PMSG+hCG of granulosa cells collected from either WT and bERKO preovulatory follicles. We chose to collect cells 48h after mice were treated with PMSG to compare the gene expression profile ot preovulatory granulosa cells. We also studied the response of these cells to LH (or hCG) as we collected cells 4h after mice were treated with hCG (peak of transcriptional response to hCG).

Project description:We sought to identify genes that are regulated by the ovulatory signals in mouse cumulus cells. We compared the transcriptomes between cumulus cells colected from mice before (hCG-0h) and after 6 h (hCG-6h) of hCG injection.

Project description:We sought to identify genes that are regulated by the ovulatory signals in mouse cumulus cells. We compared the transcriptomes between cumulus cells colected from mice before (hCG-0h) and after 6 h (hCG-6h) of hCG injection. 3 individual cumulus cell samples of hCG-0h and hCG-6h were collected and subjected to microarray study. Copmarison was done between hCG-0h and hCG-6h groups.

Project description:Determining the spatial and temporal expression of genes involved in the ovulatory pathway is critical for the understanding of the role of each estrogen receptor in the modulation of folliculogenesis and ovulation. Estrogen receptor (ER) β is highly expressed in ovarian granulosa cells and mice lacking ERβ (βERKO) are subfertile due to inefficient ovulation. Previous work has focused on isolated granulosa cells or cultured follicles and while informative, provides confounding results due to the heterogeneous cell types present including granulosa, theca and oocytes and exposure to in vitro conditions. Herein, we isolated preovulatory granulosa cells from WT and ERβ-null mice using laser capture microdissection to examine the genomic transcriptional response downstream of PMSG (mimicking FSH) and PMSG/hCG (mimicking LH) stimulation. This allows for a direct comparison of in vivo granulosa cells at the same stage of development from both WT and ERβ-null ovaries.

Project description:Follicular somatic cells (mural granulosa cells and cumulus cells) and the oocyte communicate through paracrine interactions and through direct gap junctions between oocyte and cumulus cells. Considering that mural and cumulus cells arise through a common developmental pathway and that their differentiation is essential to reproductive success, understanding how these cells differ is a key aspect to understanding their critical functions. Changes in global gene expression before and after an ovulatory stimulus were compared between cumulus and mural granulosa cells to test the hypothesis that mural and cumulus cells are highly differentiated at the time of an ovulatory stimulus and further differentiate during the periovulatory interval. The transcriptomes of the two cell types were markedly different (>1500 genes) before an ovulatory hCG bolus but converged after ovulation to become completely overlapping. The predominant transition was for the cumulus cells to become more like mural cells after hCG. This indicates that the differentiated phenotype of the cumulus cell is not stable and irreversibly established but may rather be an ongoing physiological response to the oocyte. We compared transcriptomes of mural granulosa cells isolated from the follicles before (PM-GC) and after (VVM-GC) an ovulatory stimulus. These data were analyzed with previously published cumulus cells data to compare transitions in granulosa cell state before and after an ovulatory stimulus with transitions in cumulus cells.

Project description:Cumulus-oocyte complexes were collected post-PMSG/hCG induction at J4 for 3 genotypes : wild-type (WT), DKO for LXRalpha and LXRbeta (DKO) and DKO for LXRalpha and LXRbeta rescued for LXRbeta in granulosa cells (TG-AMHb). Corona radiata cells were isolated from oocytes using hyaluronidase treatment and collected for transcriptomic analysis.

Project description:We investigate the role of Snf2l in ovaries by characterizing a mouse bearing an inactivating deletion on the ATPase domain of Snf2l (Ex6DEL). Snf2l mutant mice produce significantly fewer eggs than control mice when superovulated. Thus, gonadotropin stimulation leads to a significant deficit in secondary follicles and an increase in abnormal antral follicles. We profiled the expression of granulosa cells from Snf2l WT and Ex6DEL mice treated with pregnant mares' serum gonadotropin followed by human chorionic gonadotropin Granulosa cells from either Snf2l WT or Ex6DEL mice treated with PMSG followed by hCG were collected at 0h and 4h post-hCG. Each array includes granulosa cells pooled from 5 mice.
