The effects of follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) on testicular steroidogenic activity has been studied by testing the capacity of conditioned medium (CM) by both unstimulated (control) Sertoli cells (C-CM) and FSH stimulated Sertoli cells (FSH-CM) to influence porcine cultured Leydig cell activity. Leydig cells cultured in FSH-CM for 48 hrs, as compared to C-CM, show a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in [125I]-hCG binding (150% +/- 4) and hCG-stimulated testosterone (T) secretion (266% +/- 42). In addition, the stimulating effect of FSH-CM on Leydig cell function as compared to C-CM, is trypsin sensitive, non dialyzable, heat stable, acid resistant and is chromatographed following gel filtration (Sephadex G 100) into two different peaks of activity. These data suggest that FSH regulates Leydig cell function via (at least two types of) Sertoli cell secreted proteins.
通过检测未受刺激(对照)的支持细胞(C-CM)和促卵泡激素(FSH)刺激的支持细胞(FSH-CM)的条件培养基(CM)影响猪培养的睾丸间质细胞活性的能力,研究了FSH对睾丸类固醇生成活性的影响。与C-CM相比,在FSH-CM中培养48小时的睾丸间质细胞,其[125I]-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)结合能力显著增加(P<0.05)(150%±4),hCG刺激的睾酮(T)分泌增加(266%±42)。此外,与C-CM相比,FSH-CM对睾丸间质细胞功能的刺激作用对胰蛋白酶敏感、不可透析、热稳定、耐酸,经凝胶过滤(葡聚糖G 100)层析后分为两个不同的活性峰。这些数据表明,FSH通过(至少两种类型的)支持细胞分泌的蛋白质调节睾丸间质细胞功能。
