Nonylphenol (NP) is a kind of environmental endocrine disruptors which is generally recognized to cause female reproductive toxicity, but its basic mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, granulosa cells (GCs) were treated with 0-70 μM NP for 24 h, the cell viability of GCs was reduced significantly, as well as increased cell apoptosis with G2/M arrest. Furthermore, NP significantly induced autophagy and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, these phenomenons were inhibited by blocking the production of ROS with N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) administration. Intriguingly, the inhibition of autophagy with 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) could enhance the apoptosis induced by NP. Moreover, the down regulating of p-Akt/Akt, p-mTOR/mTOR and subsequent up-regulation of p-AMPK/AMPK induced by NP can be rescued by pretreatment of NAC. Our findings suggested that NP promotes rat ovarian GCs apoptosis and autophagy simultaneously, which may involve the activation of ROS-dependent Akt/AMPK/mTOR pathway. Whatever, the activation of autophagy is likely to develop a protective mechanism to improve the apoptosis of rat ovarian GCs induced by NP.

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

D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS. Defective autophagy is associated with various diseases, including NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES and cancer.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
