Abstract
The aim of this study was to document the expression and localization of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family members comprising of fibroblast growth factor (FGF1, FGF2, FGF7, FGF10), and their receptors (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFR2IIIB, FGFR2IIIC) in buffalo corpus luteum (CL) obtained at different stages of the estrous cycle. In addition, the synergistic role of FGF2 and/or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on P4 secretion and mRNA expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), cytochrome P450 (CYP11A1), 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), BCL-2 associated X protein (BAX) and von willebrand factor (vWF) were studied in luteal cell culture obtained from mid-luteal phase (MLP) of estrous cycle in buffalo. Real-time PCR (qPCR), western blot, and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate mRNA and protein expressions, and the localization of examined factors whereas P4 secretion was assessed by RIA. The mRNA and protein expression of FGF1 and FGFR1 were maximum (P < 0.05) during MLP whereas FGF2 was maximum (P < 0.05) during early luteal phase (ELP). FGF7, FGF10, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFR2IIIb, and FGFR2IIIc mRNA and protein expression did not change among luteal phases. FGF family members were localized in cytoplasm of luteal cells as well as in endothelial cells. P4 secretion in luteal cells treated with FGF2 or VEGF alone showed the maximum values (P < 0.05) with the highest dose at 72 h. P4 secretion was found to be greater (P < 0.05) in luteal cells treated with FGF2 + VEGF compared to FGF2 or at 72 h of incubation. The mRNA expression of all factors were maximum (P < 0.05) whereas BAX was minimum (P < 0.05) at highest dose cultured for 72 h of luteal cells subjected with either protein alone or in combination. Summarizing, the present findings explore the synergistic role of FGF2 and VEGF on steroidogenesis, angiogenesis, cell viability through an autocrine and paracrine actions in buffalo CL.

期刊介绍:
Agri Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in crop plants, farm animals, and agriculturally important insects and microorganisms. Agri Gene strives to be a diverse journal and topics in multiple fields will be considered for publication so long as their main focus is on agriculturally important organisms (plants, animals, insects, or microorganisms). Although not limited to the following, some examples of potential topics include: Gene discovery and characterization. Genetic markers to guide traditional breeding. Genetic effects of transposable elements. Evolutionary genetics, molecular evolution, population genetics, and phylogenetics. Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation. Biotechnology and crop or livestock improvement. Genetic improvement of biological control microorganisms. Genetic control of secondary metabolic pathways and metabolic enzymes of crop pathogens. Transcription analysis of beneficial or pest insect developmental stages Agri Gene encourages submission of novel manuscripts that present a reasonable level of analysis, functional relevance and/or mechanistic insight. Agri Gene also welcomes papers that have predominantly a descriptive component but improve the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent functional studies, or which provide important confirmation of recently published discoveries provided that the information is new.
