Abstract excerpt
Both activin and GnRH can independently stimulate expression of the FSHbeta subunit gene. In this study, we used the gonadotrope-derived LbetaT2 cell line to investigate the potential interaction between activin and GnRH in regulating the transcriptional activity of the rat FSHbeta gene promoter. Activin A and GnRH synergistically enhanced rat FSHbeta transcriptional activity. Overexpression of SMAD3 (mediator of...
