The present studies were carried out to compare the low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism by freshly isolated immature porcine granulosa cells with that by luteal cells. Furthermore, we have examined the effect of serum used for plating of granulosa cells on lipoprotein degradation and utilization. In incubation studies, addition of LDL as an exogenous substrate had a mild stimulatory effect on progesterone accumulation by granulosa cells, while it exhibited a dose-dependent stimulatory effect on luteal cells. When granulosa and luteal cells were incubated with 125I-labelled LDL, membrane binding of LDL occurred in both cell types, but only luteal cells were capable of internalizing the bound LDL. Granulosa cells in incubation degraded LDL much less in comparison with luteal cells, and the amount varied with the maturity of the cells. When granulosa cells were plated with graded amounts of serum which was withdrawn for 48 h following plating, they exhibited enhanced LDL degradation in a serum concentration-dependent fashion. Addition of serum for plating selectively enhanced utilization of LDL, but not high density lipoprotein (HDL) for progesterone accumulation by the cells in culture. Time-course studies on LDL degradation by granulosa cells following serum withdrawal indicate that the ability of cells to degrade LDL decreased in a time-dependent fashion. Serum withdrawal selectively decreased utilization of LDL but not HDL for progesterone secretion. It is concluded that immature granulosa cells have a limited capability to utilize cholesterol carried by LDL.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

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.

D005260 Female Females
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
