Hormonal control of somatic cell oocyte interactions during ovarian follicle development

Abstract

In the mammalian ovarian follicle, paracrine signaling between the oocyte and somatic granulosa cells is bidirectional but the structural basis and physiological regulations of communication between gametic and somatic compartments remain unknown. The present experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates the ability of granulosa cells to make connections with the oocyte. We show that in prepubertal unprimed mice and mice carrying a targeted deletion of the FSHbeta subunit gene, granulosa cells exhibit orientation towards the oocyte manifest by the elaboration of transzonal projections (TZPs) and "apical" centrosome positioning at sites of granulosa-zona contact. In vivo FSH treatment results in a retraction of TZPs. Coincident with TZP retraction induced by FSH are changes in oocyte transcriptional activity and meiotic competence, which suggests one means by which the oocyte-granulosa cell dialogue may be modulated during development of ovarian follicles.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
