Although serotonin (5-HT) has been shown to stimulate progesterone production by human granulosa-lutein cells (hGLC), the receptor type and associated signaling pathway remain uncharacterized. We report here that 5-HT receptors in these cells are positively coupled to adenylate cyclase activity. Formation of cAMP was stimulated by 5-HT and its agonists in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mianserin, amoxapine, and loxapine were equipotent in antagonizing 5-HT-induced cAMP formation. For both cAMP formation in cells and adenylate cyclase assay using membrane fractions, the rank order of potency for agonists of 5-HT were: 5-carboxy-aminotryptamine >5-HT> or =5-methoxytryptamine, consistent with a typical pharmacological profile of human 5-ht7 (h5-ht7) receptor. Sequence data of amplified complementary DNA fragments reverse transcribed from hGLC RNA revealed complete identity with published sequence of h5-ht7 receptor complementary DNA. Northern analysis showed the presence of 2.8-kb h5-ht7 transcripts in hGLC. The three variants h5-ht7A, h5-ht7B, and h5-ht7D were also detected in hGLC. Preincubation of hGLC with 5-HT (10(-8)-10(-6) M) resulted in a marked reduction in the cAMP response when the cells were subsequently stimulated with gonadotropin, and this heterologous desensitization could be reversed by 5-ht7 receptor antagonist clozapine. These data demonstrate that h5-ht7 receptor is present and stimulate cAMP formation in hGLC. In addition, the h5-ht7 receptor seems to be implicated in the heterologous down-regulation hCG-stimulated cAMP response in hGLC, with a possible ramification for luteal insufficiency.

D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.
