The Orphan Nuclear Receptors NURR1 and NGFI-B Modulate Aromatase Gene Expression in Ovarian Granulosa Cells: A Possible Mechanism for Repression of Aromatase Expression upon Luteinizing Hormone Surge

Abstract excerpt

Ovarian granulosa cells play pivotal roles in many aspects of ovary functions including folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis. In response to FSH and LH, the elevation of intracellular cAMP level in granulosa cells leads to activation of multiple ovarian genes. Here, we report findings from a genome-wide study of the cAMP-responsive gene expression profiles in a human granulosa-like tumor cell line, KGN. The study...
