Calcium-dependent actions of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and luteinizing hormone upon cyclic AMP and progesterone production in rat ovarian granulosa cells.

Abstract:

:The Ca2+ dependency of the direct stimulatory effect of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist analog [D-Ser(t-Bu)6]des-Gly10-GnRH-N-ethylamide (GnRHa) on progesterone production was investigated and compared to that of luteinizing hormone (LH) in rat granulosa cells from preovulatory follicles. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA, or the use of the Ca2+ channel blockers verapamil and La3+, resulted in complete inhibition of GnRHa-induced progesterone production and a partial inhibition of LH-stimulated progesterone production (80, 80 and 50% inhibition respectively for EGTA, verapamil and La3+). Removal of extracellular Ca2+ increased the ED50 for LH-induced cAMP production by four-fold (from 80 to 330 ng/ml) and decreased maximal nucleotide formation by 44%. LH-induced cAMP production was also inhibited partially by verapamil (35%) at 10(-4) M drug concentration. GnRHa had no effect on cAMP production in the presence or absence of Ca2+. GnRHa and LH were found to have maximal effects on progesterone production at about 0.5 mM of Ca2+ in the incubation medium. On the other hand the stimulatory effect of dibutyryl cAMP [Bu)2cAMP) on progesterone production showed little dependency on extracellular Ca2+. The calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine (TFP) caused concentration-dependent inhibition of the stimulatory action of GnRHa and LH on progesterone production with IC50 values of 3 and 8 microM, respectively. The stimulatory effect of (Bu)2cAMP on progesterone synthesis was attenuated by verapamil and TFP. These results indicate that the direct stimulatory effect of GnRH on ovarian progesterone production is absolutely dependent on Ca2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
