In this study we have demonstrated that both granulosa and theca-interstitial cells of hypophysectomized rat ovaries are capable of synthesizing tPA and PAI-1. Injection of a GnRH agonist can markedly induce these gene expressions in the ovary in a cell-specific and time-coordinated manner, so that a surge of tPA mRNA and its activity in both granulosa and theca-interstitial cells was obtained just prior to ovulation. Theca-interstitial cells make PAI-1 become the most active in the ovary. Both the amount PAI-1 mRNA and its activity in the cells reach the maximum level 6 h before the tPA peak. By contrast, granulosa cells produce only a little amount of PAI-1 (most increase tPA activity), and both PAI-1 mRNA and activity in the cells reach the maximum after ovulation. The coordinated regulation of tPA and PAI-1 in the ovary may fine-tune the peak of tPA activity which may be important for the regulation of the ovulatory process. The changes of tPA and PAI-1 in the ovarian cells of hypophysectomized rats during GnRHa-induced ovulation are similar to that in intact rats during hCG-induced ovulation, suggesting that the ovulatory process can be modulated by different regulatory signals mediated by influencing the coordinated expression of both tPA and PAI-1.

D007016 Hypophysectomy Surgical removal or destruction of the hypophysis, or pituitary gland. (Dorland, 28th ed) Hypophysectomies
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D010959 Tissue Plasminogen Activator A proteolytic enzyme in the serine protease family found in many tissues which converts PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. It has fibrin-binding activity and is immunologically different from UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR. The primary sequence, composed of 527 amino acids, is identical in both the naturally occurring and synthetic proteases.

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
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013799 Theca Cells The flattened stroma cells forming a sheath or theca outside the basal lamina lining the mature OVARIAN FOLLICLE.
