Inhibition of FSH action on granulosa cells by low molecular weight components of follicular fluid.

Abstract:

:Immature female rats were injected with a single dose (10 IU) of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin to induce growth and maturation of ovarian follicles. Using such ovaries as a model, we tested the effects of low molecular weight subfractions of charcoal-absorbed bovine follicular fluid (FF-c) on (a) radioiodinated human FSH (125I-hFSH) binding to ovarian homogenates, (b) ovine FSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in granulosa cell homogenates and (c) cAMP production by intact granulosa cells. The follicular fluid was fractionated by ultrafiltration through membranes of differing pore-sized into molecular weight components of 1000-5000 (passing Amicon H1P-5 hollow fibers but retained by Amicon UM-2 membrane) and 500-1000 (passing Amicon UM-2 membrane but retained by Amicon Um-05 membrane). These low molecular weight fractions inhibited 125I-hFSH binding to ovarian receptors, FSH-stimulated cAMP production by rat granulosa cells and FSH-stimulated, as well as fluoride-ion-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in granulosa cell homogenates. Inhibition of FSH-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity by the FF subfractions was non-competitive as determined by double reciprocal plot analysis. Our results suggest that modulation of FSH effects on granulosa cells may be mediated by low molecular weight constituents of follicular fluid.
