This study investigated the regulation of Wilms' tumor gene (WT1) in the ovary by nerve growth factor and FSH to better understand signals that initiate early follicular growth. Nerve growth factor showed a direct stimulatory effect on endogenous expression of WT1, whereas FSH attenuated basal and nerve growth factor-stimulated WT1 protein expression, which most likely depended on FSH responsiveness according to the follicle growth stage.
本研究调查了神经生长因子和促卵泡激素对卵巢中威尔姆斯瘤基因(WT1)的调控,以更好地了解启动早期卵泡生长的信号。神经生长因子对WT1的内源性表达具有直接刺激作用,而促卵泡激素则减弱了基础状态和神经生长因子刺激下的WT1蛋白表达,这很可能取决于卵泡生长阶段的促卵泡激素反应性。
