Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether functional tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) receptors are present in the granulosa cells and the cells of theca interna (theca cells), obtained from bovine follicles classified into one of three groups. Each group was defined as either small vesicular ovarian follicles (small follicles; 3-5 mm in diameter), preovulatory mature ovarian follicles (preovulatory follicles) or atretic follicles (12-18 mm) according to gross examination of the corpus luteum in the epsilateral or contralateral ovary and the uterus (size, color, consistency and mucus), and the ratio of progesterone (P4) and estradiol-17β (E2) concentrations in follicular fluid. A Scatchard analysis showed the presence of a high-affinity binding site on both granulosa and theca cells from all follicles examined (dissociation constant: 4.7 ± 0.15 to 6.9 ± 1.40 nM). Moreover, TNFα receptor concentrations in granulosa and theca cells obtained from atretic follicles were significantly higher than those in the cells from preovulatory follicles (P2 secretion in a dose-dependent fashion (P4 secretion. In addition, rhTNFα inhibited follicle stimulating hormone-, forskolin- or dibutylyl cyclic AMP-induced P4 and E2 secretion by the cells (P
