Ghrelin and obestatin can promote human ovarian granulosa cell functions and FSH effects.
Reproductive Biology 2023 August 15
The aim of the present in-vitro experiments was to examine the direct influence of ghrelin and obestatin on viability, proliferation and progesterone release by human ovarian granulosa cells and their response to FSH administration. Human granulosa cells were cultured in presence of ghrelin or obestatin (both at 0, 1, 10 or 100 ng/ml) alone or in the presence of FSH (10 ng/ml). Cell viability, accumulation of proliferation markers PCNA and cyclin B1 and release of progesterone were analyzed by Trypan blue extrusion test, quantitative immunocytochemistry and ELISA. Ghrelin, obestatin and FSH up-regulated all the measured ovarian cell parameters. Moreover, both ghrelin and obestatin promoted all the stimulatory effects of FSH. The obtained results demonstrate the direct stimulatory action of ghrelin, obestatin and FSH on basic ovarian cell functions, as well as the ability of metabolic hormones to improve FSH action on human ovarian cells.
