Consequently, treatment with this inhibitor increased the likelihood of the varied timing (both advanced and delayed) of delivery and led to reduced body weight in neonates when compared with the vehicle-treated control group.

A recent study showed that tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) ameliorates corticosterone-induced apoptosis in MGCs and OECs by acting on its receptors low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and Annexin A2 (ANXA2), respectively. However, whether tPA is involved in corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-induced apoptosis and whether it uses the same or different receptors to inhibit apoptosis induced by different hormones in the same cell type remains unknown. This study showed that CRH triggered apoptosis in both OECs and MGCs and significantly downregulated tPA expression. Moreover, tPA inhibits CRH-induced apoptosis by acting on ANXA2 in both OECs and MGCs. While ANXA2 inhibits apoptosis via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling, LRP1 reduces apoptosis via mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling. Thus, tPA used the same receptor to inhibit CRH-induced apoptosis in both OECs and MGCs, however used different receptors to inhibit corticosterone-induced apoptosis in MGCs and OECs. These data helps understand the mechanism by which female stress impairs embryo/oocyte competence and proapoptotic factors trigger apoptosis in different cell types.</p>","PeriodicalId":16942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproduction and Development","volume":" ","pages":"238-246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11310383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141442907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
