Project description:Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is crucial in the development and regulation of reproductive functions. The actions of human FSH and its receptor (FSHR) and mutations therein have mainly been studied using in vivo models, primary cells, cancer cells and cell lines ectopically expressing the FSHR. To allow studies of endogenous FSHR function in vitro, we differentiated FSHR-expressing cells from human pluripotent stem cells. FSH stimulation of the wild-type (WT), but not the inactivating Finnish founder mutant (A189V) receptor, activated the canonical cAMP-dependent signaling pathway and downstream mediators. Interestingly, the WT and A189V mutant receptors activated distinct pathways in a G-protein-coupled receptor signaling assay. FSH stimulation of WT FSHR-expressing cells induced phosphorylation of PI3Kp85a/g, MAPKAPK2 and proteins involved in calcium-dependent signaling, among others, while in the A189V mutant cells FSH induced phosphorylation of e.g., P90RSK, ERK3, and focal adhesion kinase. Lastly, we expressed FSHR in HEK293 cells followed by affinity purification mass spectrometry analyses, to investigate protein-protein interaction partners of FSHR at resting state and upon FSH stimulation. We found 19 specific high-confidence interacting proteins for WT FSHR and 14 for A189V FSHR, several of which have been linked to infertility. In conclusion, our protocol allows detailed studies of FSH action and disease modeling in human cells endogenously expressing FSHR.

FSH stimulation of the wild-type (WT), but not the inactivating Finnish founder mutant (A189V) receptor, activated the canonical cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent signaling pathway and downstream mediators. To investigate protein-protein interaction partners of FSHR at resting state and upon FSH stimulation, we expressed FSHR in HEK293 cells followed by affinity purification mass spectrometry analyses. We found 19 specific high-confidence interacting proteins for WT FSHR and 14 for A189V FSHR, several of which have been linked to infertility. Interestingly, while only WT FSHR interacted with FSH, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), for example, interacted with both WT and A189V FSHR upon FSH stimulation. In conclusion, our protocol allows detailed studies of FSH action and disease modeling in human cells endogenously expressing FSHR.

Project description:Intra-pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone signaling regulates hepatic lipid metabolism

Project description:FSH is considered as the most critical regulatory factor for follicle growth and development. It is widely acknowledged that exogenous administration of FSH can effectively stimulate ovulation.However, these techniques have several drawbacks such as high cost and detrimental effects on hormone balance and embryo implantation.Sulforaphane (SFN) is a naturally occurring compound that belongs to the isothiocyanate group, which is predominant in cruciferous vegetables.Our previous research demonstrated SFN could inhibit hypoxia-evoked apoptosis in porcine GCs. Intriguingly, SFN exhibits a biphasic dose-response, stimulating cell growth at low doses in various mammalian cells. Therefore,to investigate the functional implications of sulforaphane in the regulation of granulosa cell proliferation, we conducted a gene expression profiling analysis using RNA-seq data, comparing SFN to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

Project description:Inter-organ communication is a major hallmark of health and is often orchestrated by hormones released by the anterior pituitary gland. Pituitary gonadotropes secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) to regulate gonadal function and control fertility. Whether FSH and LH also act on organs other than the gonads is debated. Here, we found that gonadotrope depletion in adult female mice triggers profound hypogonadism, obesity, glucose intolerance, fatty liver, and bone loss. The absence of sex steroids precipitates these phenotypes, with the notable exception of fatty liver, which results from ovary-independent actions of FSH. We uncover paracrine FSH action on pituitary corticotropes as a novel mechanism to restrain the production of corticosterone and prevent hepatic steatosis. Our data demonstrate that functional communication of two distinct hormone-secreting cell populations in the pituitary regulates hepatic lipid metabolism.

Project description:This report aimed to establish, using African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, as model species, a basis for understanding a well-known, although not yet clarified, feature of male fish reproductive physiology: the strong steroidogenic activity of FSHs. Assays with gonadotropin receptor-expressing cell lines showed that FSH activated its cognate receptor (FSHR) with an at least 1000-fold lower EC50 than when challenging the LH receptor (LHR), whereas LH stimulated both receptors with similar EC50s. In androgen release bioassays, FSH elicited a significant response at lower concentrations than those required to cross-activate of the LHR, indicating that FSH stimulated steroid release via FSHR-dependent mechanisms. LHR/FSHR-mediated stimulation of androgen release was completely abolished by H-89, a specific protein kinase A inhibitor, pointing to the cAMP/protein kinase A pathway as the main route for both LH- and FSH-stimulated steroid release. Localization studies showed that intratubular Sertoli cells express FSHR mRNA, whereas, as reported for the first time in a vertebrate, catfish Leydig cells express both LHR and FSHR mRNA. Testicular FSHR and LHR mRNA expression increased gradually during pubertal development. FSHR, but not LHR, transcript levels continued to rise between completion of the first wave of spermatogenesis at about 7 months and full maturity at about 12 months of age, which was associated with a previously recorded approximately 3-fold increase in the steroid production capacity per unit testis weight. Taken together, our data strongly suggest that the steroidogenic potency of FSH can be explained by its direct trophic action on FSHR-expressing Leydig cells.

Project description:The gonadotropin-dependent phase of ovarian folliculogenesis primarily requires follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to support one or multiple early antral follicles, dependent on the species, to mature fully and support steroidogenesis, oogenesis, and ovulation, which critically sustain female reproductive cycles and fertility. At molecular levels, FSH binds to its membrane receptor, FSHR, in granulosa cells to activate a suite of genes and signal transduction pathways. Both insufficient FSH caused by genetic or non-genetic reasons and excessive FSH used for ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) can cause poor female reproductive outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we used an ex vivo folliculogenesis and oogenesis system along with single-follicle and -oocyte RNA sequencing analysis and other approaches to investigate the effects of different concentrations of FSH on key follicular events. The results revealed that a minimum FSH threshold is required for follicle maturation, and such threshold is moderately variable among individual follicles. FSH at the subthreshold, threshold, and suprathreshold levels induced distinct expression patterns of follicle maturation-related genes and the entire follicular transcriptomics. The RNA-seq analysis identified several new genes and signaling pathways that may critically regulate follicle maturation. The treatment of excessive FSH resulted in multiple ovarian disorders including premature luteinization, high production of androgen and proinflammatory factors, and reduced expression of energy metabolism-related genes in oocytes. Together, our study enables a better understanding of the gonadotropin-dependent folliculogenesis, and the novel findings shed crucial insights into how ovarian stimulation with high doses of FSH used in ART impact follicular health, oocyte quality, pregnancy success, and systemic health.

Project description:FSH glycosylation varies in two functionally important aspects: microheterogeneity, resulting from oligosaccharide structure variation, and macroheterogeneity, arising from partial FSHβ subunit glycosylation. Although advances in mass spectrometry permit extensive characterization of FSH glycan populations, microheterogeneity remains difficult to illustrate, and comparisons between different studies are challenging because no standard format exists for rendering oligosaccharide structures. FSH microheterogeneity is illustrated using a consistent glycan diagram format to illustrate the large array of structures associated with one hormone. This is extended to commercially available recombinant FSH preparations, which exhibit greatly reduced microheterogeneity at three of four glycosylation sites. Macroheterogeneity is demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shifts due to the absence of FSHβ glycans that can be assessed by Western blotting of immunopurified FSH. Initially, macroheterogeneity was hoped to matter more than microheterogeneity. However, it now appears that both forms of carbohydrate heterogeneity have to be taken into consideration. FSH glycosylation can reduce its apparent affinity for its cognate receptor by delaying initial interaction with the receptor and limiting access to all of the available binding sites. This is followed by impaired cellular signaling responses that may be related to reduced receptor occupancy or biased signaling. To resolve these alternatives, well-characterized FSH glycoform preparations are necessary.
