In this study, primary serum-free cultured rat granulosa cells (rGCs) were used as a cellular model to investigate the effects of fenvalerate on progesterone production. Various concentrations (0, 1, 5, 25, 125 and 625 microM) of fenvalerate were added to the cell cultures for 24 h. rGCs were stimulated by compounds such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), 8-bromo-cAMP or 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol (22R-HC). Progesterone production and intracellular cAMP content were measured in control and treated groups. Expression of P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) were monitored by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results showed that fenvalerate inhibited basal progesterone production in rGCs in the absence of stimulators. This inhibition was stronger in the presence of FSH and was not fully reversed by 8-bromo-cAMP or 22R-HC. The increase of cAMP content, stimulated by FSH, was inhibited by fenvalerate implicating that the intracellular cAMP-dependent signal pathway was involved. Fenvalerate reduced mRNA and protein expression of P450scc. These results suggested that multi-site inhibition of progesterone production by fenvalerate including a cAMP-dependent protein kinase pathway and reduction on P450scc gene expression and/or its enzymatic activity in rGCs.

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.

D002786 Cholesterol Side-Chain Cleavage Enzyme A mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the side-chain cleavage of C27 cholesterol to C21 pregnenolone in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP11A1 gene, catalyzes the breakage between C20 and C22 which is the initial and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of various gonadal and adrenal steroid hormones.

D006107 Granulosa Cells Supporting cells for the developing female gamete in the OVARY. They are derived from the coelomic epithelial cells of the gonadal ridge. Granulosa cells form a single layer around the OOCYTE in the primordial ovarian follicle and advance to form a multilayered cumulus oophorus surrounding the OVUM in the Graafian follicle. The major functions of granulosa cells include the production of steroids and LH receptors (RECEPTORS, LH). Cell, Granulosa,Cells, Granulosa,Granulosa Cell
