A Novel Antagonistic Effect of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein System on Prolactin Actions in Regulating Steroidogenesis by Granulosa Cells
Abstract
To investigate the mechanism by which prolactin (PRL) regulates follicular steroidogenesis in the ovary, we examined the functional roles of PRL in steroidogenesis using rat oocyte/granulosa cell coculture and focusing on the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) system. The expression of long and short forms of PRL receptor (PRLR) were detected in both oocytes and granulosa cells, and PRL effectively up-regulated PRLR expression in granulosa cells...
