Abstract:
:Rat granulosa cells (GCs) were treated with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), 8-bromo-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP), forskolin, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), A23187 or pregnenolone in the absence or presence of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Different doses of trilostane were applied to GCs treated with steroidogenic precursors, that is, 25-hydroxy-cholesterol (25-OH-C) in the absence or presence of H(2)O(2). Results showed that all of the chemicals stimulated the progesterone (PG) release from rat GCs, but the stimulatory effects were inhibited by H(2)O(2) dose-dependently. 25-OH-C stimulated the PG release, which was inhibited by H(2)O(2) in the presence of trilostane. H(2)O(2) attenuated steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein expression, but did not alter the expression of cytochrome P450 side chain cleavage (P450scc) in Western blotting. This study indicated that H(2)O(2) inhibited PG production by GCs via cAMP pathway, protein kinase C (PKC) and the activities of intracellular calcium, P450scc and StAR protein.
