Abstract

Etv4, Etv1, and Etv5 are members of Etv4 subfamily of E26 transformation-specific (Ets) transcription factors that are known to influence a host of biological processes. We previously showed that Etv5, expressed in Sertoli cells, plays a crucial role in maintaining spermatogonial stem cell niche in the mouse testis. However, it is not yet known whether Etv4 family members are expressed in the ovary or play any role in ovarian functions. Here, we show that Etv5 and Etv4 are expressed in mouse ovaries in granulosa and cumulus cells during folliculogenesis. Both Etv5 and Etv4 mRNAs are also detected in cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) and denuded oocytes. Notably, Etv4 is highly expressed in the cumulus cells of ovulated COCs at 16-h post-human chorionic gonadotropin. Cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2), a rate-limiting enzyme for prostaglandin synthesis, is critical for oocyte maturation and ovulation. Since several putative Ets-binding sites are present in the PTGS2 promoter, we examined whether Etv5 influences Ptgs2 transcriptional activity. Indeed, we found that addition of Etv5 increases the transcriptional activity of the 3.2-kb mouse Ptgs2 promoter by 2.5-fold in luciferase reporter assays. Collectively, the results show that Etv4 and Etv5 are expressed in granulosa and cumulus cells during folliculogenesis and ovulation, suggesting that they influence cellular events in the ovary by regulating downstream genes such as Ptgs2.

摘要

Etv4、Etv1和Etv5是E26转化特异性(Ets)转录因子Etv4亚家族的成员,已知它们会影响许多生物学过程。我们之前表明,在支持细胞中表达的Etv5在维持小鼠睾丸精原干细胞生态位方面起着关键作用。然而,目前尚不清楚Etv4家族成员是否在卵巢中表达或在卵巢功能中发挥任何作用。在这里,我们表明Etv5和Etv4在卵泡发生过程中在小鼠卵巢的颗粒细胞和卵丘细胞中表达。在卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(COC)和裸卵中也检测到Etv5和Etv4的mRNA。值得注意的是,在人绒毛膜促性腺激素注射后16小时,Etv4在排卵的COC的卵丘细胞中高度表达。环氧化酶-2(PTGS2)是前列腺素合成的限速酶,对卵母细胞成熟和排卵至关重要。由于PTGS2启动子中存在几个假定的Ets结合位点,我们研究了Etv5是否影响Ptgs2的转录活性。事实上,我们发现在荧光素酶报告基因检测中,添加Etv5可使3.2 kb小鼠Ptgs2启动子的转录活性提高2.5倍。总的来说,结果表明Etv4和Etv5在卵泡发生和排卵过程中在颗粒细胞和卵丘细胞中表达,表明它们通过调节下游基因如Ptgs2来影响卵巢中的细胞事件。
