Effects of clofibric acid alone and in combination with 17 beta-estradiol on mRNA abundance in primary hepatocytes isolated from rainbow trout

Kristin Schirmer

Clofibric acid (CA) is the active substance of lipid lowering drugs. It is resistant to degradation, polar in nature, and has been found ubiquitously in the aquatic environment. Though CA is classified as a peroxisomal proliferator in rodents and is consid ...

VEGFR-3 Neutralization Inhibits Ovarian Lymphangiogenesis, Follicle Maturation, and Murine Pregnancy

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Didier Trono, Melody Swartz

Lymphatic vessels surround follicles within the ovary, but their roles in folliculogenesis and pregnancy, as well as the necessity of Lymphangiogenesis in follicle maturation and health, are undefined. We used systemic delivery of mF4-31C1, a specific anta ...

NR5A2 Regulates Lhb and Fshb Transcription in Gonadotrope-Like Cells In Vitro, but Is Dispensable for Gonadotropin Synthesis and Fertility In Vivo

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Successful mammalian reproduction depends on proper synthesis of the pituitary-derived glycoprotein hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Several transcription factors cooperate to activate cell-specific and hormone-reg ...

Stimulus-induced modulation of transcriptional bursting in a single mammalian gene

Felix Naef, David Michael Suter, Benjamin Zoller, Rosamaria Cannavo

Mammalian genes are often transcribed discontinuously as short bursts of RNA synthesis followed by longer silent periods. However, how these "on" and "off" transitions, together with the burst sizes, are modulated in single cells to increase gene expressio ...

Progesterone/RANKL Is a Major Regulatory Axis in the Human Breast

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Tamara Tanos

Estrogens and progesterones are major drivers of breast development but also promote carcinogenesis in this organ. Yet, their respective roles and the mechanisms underlying their action in the human breast are unclear. Receptor activator of nuclear factor ...

Vertical transmission of a Drosophila endosymbiont via cooption of the yolk transport and internalization machinery

Bruno Lemaitre, Juan Camilo Paredes Escobar, Jeremy Keith Herren, Fanny Schüpfer

Spiroplasma is a diverse bacterial clade that includes many vertically transmitted insect endosymbionts, including Spiroplasma poulsonii, a natural endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster. These bacteria persist in the hemolymph of their adult host and exh ...

The Glucocorticoid-Induced Leucine Zipper (Gilz/Tsc22d3-2) Gene Locus Plays a Crucial Role in Male Fertility

Jian Wang, Friedrich Beermann, Roman Chrast

The glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (Tsc22d3-2) is a widely expressed dexamethasone-induced transcript that has been proposed to be important in immunity, adipogenesis, and renal sodium handling based on in vitro studies. To address its function in v ...

Functional consequences of prolactin signaling in endothelial cells: a potential link with angiogenesis in pathophysiology?

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Prolactin is best known as the polypeptide anterior pituitary hormone, which regulates the development of the mammary gland. However, it became clear over the last decade that prolactin contributes to a broad range of pathologies, including breast cancer. ...

Cyclin D1 Enhances the Response to Estrogen and Progesterone by Regulating Progesterone Receptor Expression

Cathrin Brisken

Estrogen and progesterone are the defining hormones of normal female development, and both play critical roles in breast carcinogenesis. Cyclin D1 is a breast cancer oncogene whose amplification is linked to poor prognosis in estrogen and progesterone rece ...

Role of canonical Wnt signaling in mammary gland development

The female reproductive hormones estrogens, progesterone, and prolactin control postnatal breast development and are important to breast carcinogenesis. In particular, exposure to progesterone is tightly linked to breast cancer risk. Using the mouse as a m ...

Development of an in vitro microenvironment for maturing oocytes

The development of in vitro culture systems, comparable to the in vivo microenvironment in terms of effect on the oocyte growth and development could provide a valuable experimental tool for studying the mechanisms governing folliculogenesis. This tool mig ...
