Tóm tắt

AbstractOur recent studies (Sakai et al., '88) have shown that there is a progressive increase in aromatase activity, assessed indirectly by the conversion of exogenous testosterone to estradiol‐17β, in medaka (Oryzias latipes) vitellogenic follicles isolated between 28 and 20 hr before spawning. The present study was designed to determine if pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMS) and cAMP are able to induce aromatase activity in early vitellogenic follicles isolated at 32 hr before spawning. Both 100 IU/ml PMS and 100 ng/ml testosterone alone significantly stimulated estradiol‐17β production by follicles at this stage. PMS also enhanced testosterone‐induced estradiol‐17β production. This enhancing effect of PMS on aromatization of exogenous testosterone to estradiol‐17β was completely inhibited by 10 μg/ml actinomycin D and 10 μ/ml cycloheximide. Both 5 mM dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) and 10 μM forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator, alone significantly stimulated estradiol‐17β production. A 1 μg/ml dose of cyanoketone, a potent inhibitor of 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, completely suppressed PMS‐ and forskolin‐induced estradiol‐17β production in the absence of testosterone, but did not influence the enhancing effect of either PMS or forskolin on the conversion of exogenous testosterone to estradiol‐17β. These results indicate that PMS induces aromatase activity in medaka vitellogenic follicles via an adenylate cyclase‐cAMP system, and further suggest that this action of PMS is dependent upon both transcriptional and translational processes.
