PURPOSE: To determine if there is any effect of AMH and BMP-15 on estradiol and progesterone production from primary-cultured human luteinizing granulosa cells, to delineate what is the effect of FSH on their actions and which are the possible mechanisms involved.
METHODS: Luteinizing granulosa cells (GCs), obtained from follicular fluid of 30 women undergoing in vitro fertilization, were cultured, after a short 24-h preincubation period, in serum-free medium for 24 or/and 48 h in the presence/absence of various concentrations of AMH, BMP-15 and FSH alone or in combinations. Estradiol and progesterone production, SMAD5 phosphorylation and StAR expression were studied in parallel. Steroids were measured in culture-supernatant using enzyme-immunoassays, while Smad5-signaling pathway activation and StAR protein expression were assessed immunocytochemically.
RESULT(S): We found that the treatment of AMH in GCs for 24/48 h attenuated FSH-induced estradiol production (p < 0.001), had no effect on basal estradiol levels, decreased basal progesterone production (p < 0.001) and FSH-induced StAR expression (p < 0.001). On the other hand, BMP-15 decreased basal estradiol levels (p < 0.001) and attenuated FSH-induced estradiol production (p < 0.001). Furthermore, BMP-15 reduced progesterone basal secretion (p < 0.001), an effect that was partially reversed by FSH (p < 0.01), probably via increasing StAR expression (p < 0.001). FSH-induced StAR expression was also attenuated by BMP-15 (p < 0.001). FSH, AMH and BMP-15 activated Smad-signaling pathway, as confirmed by the increase of phospo-Smad5 protein levels (p < 0.001 compared to control).
CONCLUSION(S): AMH and BMP-15 by interacting with FSH affect the production of estradiol and progesterone from cultured luteinizing-granulosa cells possibly via Smad5-protein phosphorylation.
