A Role of Insulin-Like Growth Factor I for Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Expression in Rat Granulosa Cells1

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to identify the mechanisms underlying the effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on FSH receptor (FSHR) in rat granulosa cells. Treatment with FSH produced a substantial increase in FSHR mRNA level, as was expected, while concurrent treatment with increasing concentrations of IGF-I brought about dose-dependent increases in FSH-induced FSHR mRNA, with a maximal response 2.8-fold greater than that induced by FSH alone. IGF-I, either alone or in combination with FSH, did n… Show more

“…This suggests a role for BMP-15 in coordinating GC proliferation with FSH-dependent cytodifferentiation during follicle growth and development. Our observation that FSH stimulates the expression of FSH-R mRNA is consistent with the previous reports demonstrating that FSH itself increases FSH-R gene transcription and cell surface FSH receptors (49,50). Our results clearly demonstrated that BMP-15 completely blocks this FSH effect.…”

“…These results clearly indicated that IGF1 can in part up-regulate steroidogenic and apoptotic regulatory pathways through increasing receptor numbers for both IGF1 and FSH. In contrast, Minegishi et al (2000) reported a synergistic effect of IGF1 and FSH on FSHR expression in rat granulosa cells. Furthermore, they provided evidence that the addition of IGF1 increased the halflife of the FSHR transcript, thus providing a further mechanism by which IGF1 can affect FSH action.…”

“…Further, this effect has been shown to occur through AP-1 activity in a PI-3 kinase and RAS/MAP kinase-dependent Table 3. 501 manner (32). IGF-I has been shown to stabilize FSH receptor mRNA (33) and LDL receptor mRNA (34), suggesting this as a potential mechanism for LPH up-regulation. Alternatively, IGF-I could potentially increase mRNA abundance by a combination of transcriptional activation and enhanced mRNA stability (34).…”
