Dynamic changes in steroidogenesis occur in ovarian granulosa cells during ovulation after the LH surge. The ovulatory LH surge induces rapid up-regulation of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein and rapid down-regulation of aromatase (Cyp19a1) in granulosa cells undergoing luteinization during ovulation. These rapid changes in StAR and Cyp19a1 gene expression after the LH surge efficiently facilitate progesterone production, which plays a crucial role in ovulation and the following luteinization. Recently, it has become clear that epigenetic regulation such as histone modifications and DNA methylation play a key role in gene expression through the chromatin remodeling of the promoter region. This study reports the in vivo evidence that epigenetic mechanisms including histone modifications, DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling are involved in the rapid changes of StAR and Cyp19a1 gene expression in granulosa cells undergoing luteinization during ovulation.
Abstract
Dynamic changes in steroidogenesis occur in ovarian granulosa cells during ovulation after the LH surge. The ovulatory LH surge induces rapid up-regulation of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein and rapid down-regulation of aromatase (Cyp19a1) in granulosa cells undergoing luteinization during ovulation. These rapid changes in StAR and Cyp19a1 gene expression after the LH surge efficiently facilitate progesterone production, which plays a crucial role in ovulation and the following luteinization. Recently, it has become clear that epigenetic regulation such as histone modifications and DNA methylation play a key role in gene expression through the chromatin remodeling of the promoter region. This study reports the in vivo evidence that epigenetic mechanisms including histone modifications, DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling are involved in the rapid changes of StAR and Cyp19a1 gene expression in granulosa cells undergoing luteinization during ovulation.
