Abstract

Granulosa cells surround the oocyte within the ovarian follicle and play an essential role in creating conditions required for oocyte as well as follicular development. The current study was conducted to examine the gene expression profile of mouse ovaries during the primordial to primary follicle transition process. Total RNAs from mouse ovaries on day 5 and day 12 were synthesized cDNA using annealing control primers. The DEGs were cloned and their identities were analyzed by BLAST search. The Plekha5 and Anxa11 were highly expressed in primary follicle stage. By contrast, their expression was increased in granulosa cells at the primary follicle stage. We have successfully discovered a list of genes expressed in day 5 and day 12 ovaries and confirmed that some of them are differentially expressed in PMF and/or PRI. This is a spatial-temporal regulatory mechanism on the ovarian folliculogenesis through membrane fusion. The gene expression profile from the current study would provide insight for future study on the mechanism(s) involved in primordial-primary follicular transition. This will provide information for identification of the mechanism of ovarian dysfunction.

포유류의 난소에서 과립막 세포)는 난포내 난자를 둘러싸고 난자 뿐만 아니라 난포의 발달에 필요한 상태를 만드는데 중요한 역할을 한다, 그리고 협막세포 등의 성장과 분화를 조절하는 매우 복잡한 과정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 성장이 정지되어 있는 원시난포에서 성장이 개시되는 1차난포, 2차난포로 전환하는 동안에 관여하여 발현하는 유전자를 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 5일자, 12일자 난소로부터 총 리보핵산을 추출하여 동량의 RNA로부터 cDNA를 합성하여 ACP-PCR을 수행하였다. 서로 다르게 발현하는 유전자들 (DEGs)을 클로닝과 BLAST를 통한 염기서열 분석하였다. Anxa11과 Plekha5는 5일자 난소에서 높게 나타났으며 특히 난자핵과 세포질에서 높게 발현하였다. 이에 반해 과립막 세포에서는 난포발달단계에 따라 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 본 연구에서 성공적으로 5일, 12일 난소에서 서로 다르게 발현하는 발현유전자 목록을 일부 찾아 확인하였다. 이들은 막융합을 통해 난소의 난포발달과정에서 시간적-공간적인 조절 기전에 의해 이루어 질 것으로 보인다. 이 유전자 발현 정보는 원시난포의 개시와 성장을 위한 전환에 관여하는 기전을 이해하는 기초정보와 난소기능부전의 기전을 규명하는데 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
