The mechanism by which rosiglitazone (ROSI: a thiazolidinedione (TZD)) affects steroid production in undifferentiated human granulosa cells is not known. In this study, cultured human cumulus granulosa cells were exposed to ROSI and pharmacological inhibitors of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) signalling pathways. Expression of progesterone biosynthetic enzymes, PPARγ and PPARα, progesterone production and ERK1/2 activation were analysed. After 48 h, 30 μM ROSI increased STAR, 3βHSD and PPARγ mRNA and elevated progesterone production in human cumulus granulosa cells. Addition of ERK1/2 (U0126), EGFR (AG1478) and PPARγ (GW9662) inhibitors prevented the ROSI-induced STAR mRNA expression and progesterone production after 48 h. Inhibition of PPARγ, but not EGFR or ERK1/2, decreased the PPARγ mRNA levels induced by ROSI in human cumulus granulosa cells after 48 h. On the other hand, U0126 and GW9662 prevented the ROSI-induced increase in PPARγ transcripts after 6 h. Western blot analysis showed that ROSI induced a rapid ERK1/2 activation, which was prevented by inhibition of ERK1/2, EGFR and PPARγ in human cumulus granulosa cells. Overall, these data suggested that PPARγ, EGFR and ERK1/2 were involved in the stimulatory effect of ROSI on STAR expression and progesterone production in undifferentiated human cumulus granulosa cells. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/20101 | ISSN: | 1031-3613 | DOI: | 10.1071/RD19108 |
