RESUMO
Objective To explore how dihydrotestosterone (DHT) affects the expression of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in primary rat follicular granulosa cells, and then provides a new experimental basis for the role of DHT and AMH in follicular development. Methods Granulosa cells was extracted from the ovaries of 95 21 days SD female rats for primary culture. Firstly, cell morphology were detected by HE staining and follicke stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) immunofluorescence detected cell purity after 48 hours of cell culture. Then, cells were randomly divided into control group (without drug intervention), 10
RESUMO
Background: CPEB is considered as an RNA-binding protein first identified in Xenopus oocytes. Although CPEB1 was involved in the growth of oocyte, its role in goat follicular granulosa cell has not been fully elucidated. To clarify the functions of this gene in goat follicular granulosa cells, CPEB1-overexpressing vector and interference vector were structured and transfected into follicular granulosa cells from Jiangsu native white goats of Nantong city, Jiangsu Province, China. The expression levels of differentiation-related genes including CDK1, Cyclin B1, and C-mos were determined 24 h after administration of CPEB1 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting methods. Results: The expression levels of CDK1, Cyclin B1, and C-mos were significantly upregulated after overexpression and significantly downregulated after interference with CPEB1. Conclusions: The CPEB1 gene expression could affect the transcription of genes related to early cleavage divisions, which provided a reference for further research on its role in the growth and maturation of oocytes.

This study was aimed to investigate effects of Er-Xian (EX) decoction in follicular granulosa cell apoptosis in chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure (POF) of rats. SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, positive group and EX decoction group. Intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin was used in the establishment of chemotherapy-induced POF rat model. Intragastric administration of corresponding medication was give to each group for four weeks. The general conditions of rats were observed. The serum contents of E2, FSH, LH and Pro were determined. The ovarian tissue morphology was observed. Granulosa cell apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL. The expressions of BAX, Bcl-2 and VEGF protein were detected by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that in the model group, the body weight decreased with disordered estrous cycle. After treatment, the weight gained, and the estrous cycle recovered. Compared with the normal group, in the model group, E2 decreased, FSH and LH levels increased. There was no significant difference in the content of progesterone among different groups. Detection of TUNEL showed that the positive expression in the model group was increased compared with the normal group (P < 0.05). The positive expression of EX decoction group was reduced compared to the positive group (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal group, the expression of BAX was obviously increased and Bcl-2 was decreased in the model group. After EX decoction treatment, the expression of BAX was decreased and the Bcl-2 was increased compared to the model group. The expression of VEGF protein in the model group was obviously less than that in the normal group. It was concluded that cisplatin can induce follicular granulosa cell apoptosis, and cause premature ovarian function recession. EX decoction can adjust the content of different hormones in serum, alter expression of apoptosis related protein to reduce the damage of cisplatin on ovarian follicular development, in order to promote follicular development, improve and enhance the ovarian function.
