本研究旨在阐明FSH调节睾丸支持细胞增殖的机制。试验以2~3周龄的仔猪睾丸支持细胞为实验材料,采用体外培养模型,通过细胞数量检测、ELISA和Western blot等方法研究FSH对睾丸支持细胞的调节作用。试验结果如下:(1)在0~50ng·mL-1内,随着FSH浓度的增加,睾丸支持细胞数量呈增加的趋势(P〈0.05);当浓度为50ng·mL-1时,FSH促增殖作用最明显;细胞内cAMP的浓度也随着FSH的浓度而增加(P〈0.05);(2)FSH作用后5min内就激活了ERK1/2级联反应,在48h内,ERK1/2的激活有一定的周期性;加入ERK1/2的抑制剂PD98059和U0126明显的降低了FSH诱导的睾丸支持细胞的增殖和PCNA的表达(P〈0.05);(3)加入FSH和Forskolin增强了细胞的增殖和ERK1/2的激活(P〈0.05);而加入Rp-cAMP则明显降低了FSH诱导的细胞增殖和ERK1/2的激活(P〈0.05);L-Ca2+通道抑制剂Verapamil抑制了细胞的增殖和ERK1/2的激活;Rp-cAMP与Verapamil共同作用强于单独作用,表现出一定的协同效应(P〈0.05)。结果表明,FSH通过cAMP、Ca2+激活ERK1/2,并通过ERK1/2调节PCNA的表达进而调节支持细胞的增殖。
This experiment was conducted to study mechanisms of FSH regulating Sertoli cell proliferation.Sertoli cells of 2-3 week-old piglet were used as cell models,and cell viability,ELSIA and Western blot were used to explain the effect of FSH.The results were as follows:(1) From 0 to 50 ng·mL-1,with the increase of the concentration of FSH,Sertoli cell number showed an upward trend(P0.05);at 50 ng·mL-1,effect of FSH on Sertoli cell proliferation was most significant;the concentration of intracellular cAMP also increased,following the increase of the concentration of FSH(P0.05);(2) FSH begun to activate ERK1/2 cascade reaction 5 min after its affecting and the activating model had a periodicity;ERK1/2 inhibitor(PD98059 and U0126) could significantly inhibit the FSH-induced Sertoli cell proliferation and the expression of PCNA(proliferating cell nuclear antigen)(P0.05);(3) Both of FSH and Forskolin could enhance cell proliferation and ERK1/2 activation(P0.05),while Rp-cAMP and L-Ca 2+ channel inhibitor(Verapamil) significantly both inhibited the FSH-induced cell proliferation and ERK1/2 activation(P0.05);Rp-cAMP and Verapamil showed synergism effect(P0.05).These results indicated that FSH could activate ERK1/2 via cAMP and Ca 2+,which increased the expression of PCNA,and promoted Sertoli cell proliferation.
