cAMP-INDUCED APOPTOSIS IN GRANULOSA CELLS IS ASSOCIATED WITH UP-REGULATION OF P53 AND BAX AND DOWN-REGULATION OF CLUSTERIN
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Evidence indicates that cAMP induces apoptosis in granulosa cells of rat and human ovary. The mechanism by which cAMP induces apoptosis is not known. This study was carried out to evaluate changes in expression of cell death promoters, P53 and bax, and cell death repressor, bcl-2, in cAMP-treated granulosa cells. Treatment of granulosa cells with forskolin (FSK), or 8-bromo-cAMP induced apoptosis as evidenced by...
