Mammalian oocyte restores meiosis can be stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) under normal physiological conditions. G-protein coupled receptor 30 (GPR30), an non-classical estrogen membrane receptor, has been widely reported in teleost oocyte maturation. However, it remains unknown whether GPR30 involves the role of FSH in mammalian cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation. Here, we used mouse cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) as a model to investigate how FSH affects the in vitro maturation of mouse oocytes mediated by 17β-estradiol (E2)/GPR30signaling. Our study reveals that FSH starts regulating mouse cumulus expansion precisely at 8h in in vitro culture. ELISA measurement of E2 levels in culture medium revealed that FSH activated aromatase to promote E2 production in vitro in cultured mouse COCs. Moreover, the results of real-time quantitative PCR indicated that FSH-induced in vitro maturation of mouse oocytes was regulated by the estrogen-signaling pathway mediated by GPR30; FSH treatment markedly increased the mRNA expression of HAS2, PTGS2, and GREM1 in COCs. Exploration of the underlying mechanism suggested that E2 produced by mouse COCs regulated the phosphorylation level of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) through GPR30 and thereby promoted mouse cumulus-cell expansion and oocyte maturation. In conclusion, our study reveals that FSH induced estrogen production in mouse COCs through aromatase, and that aromatase/GPR30/ERK1/2 signaling is involved in FSH-induced cumulus expansion.

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

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
