Previously, we demonstrated that a peptide from chicken bursa of Fabricius, bursal anti-steroidogenic peptide (BASP), inhibited LH-stimulated progesterone biosynthesis by granulosa cells from the two largest preovulatory follicles of the chicken ovary. In the present study, we investigated the influence of follicular maturation on the ability of BASP to inhibit granulosa cell steroidogenesis. Granulosa cells from the largest (F1), third largest (F3), and fifth largest (F5), preovulatory follicles of the laying hen were exposed to BASP in the presence or absence of ovine LH, forskolin, or dibutyryl-cAMP (db-cAMP). BASP (0.125 or 0.25 bursal equivalents [BEQ]) suppressed basal progesterone production in F5, but not in F1 or F3, granulosa cells. BASP suppressed LH-stimulated progesterone production in F1, F3, and F5 granulosa cells in a concentration-dependent manner; however, the lowest level (0.06 BEQ) did not suppress progesterone production in F5 granulosa cells. All levels of BASP suppressed forskolin-stimulated progesterone production in F1 granulosa cells, but only the highest level (0.25 BEQ) inhibited forskolin-stimulated steroidogenesis in F3 and F5 granulosa cells. Similar results were obtained with db-cAMP-stimulated granulosa cells. The inhibitory effects of BASP on F1, F3, and F5 granulosa cells were directly compared on a percentage basis. In the presence of each secret-agogue, the lowest level (0.06 BEQ) of BASP effectively suppressed progesterone synthesis in F1 and F3 but not F5 granulosa cells. At higher levels, there was no consistent difference in the ability of BASP to suppress stimulated progesterone production in granulosa cells at different stages of maturation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE 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.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
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.

D002060 Bursa of Fabricius An epithelial outgrowth of the cloaca in birds similar to the thymus in mammals. It atrophies within 6 months after birth and remains as a fibrous remnant in adult birds. It is composed of lymphoid tissue and prior to involution, is the site of B-lymphocyte maturation. Fabricius Bursa

D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
