Participation of follicular superoxides, inflammatory modulators, and endocrine factors in zebrafish (Danio rerio) ovulation: Cross-talk between PKA and MAPK signaling in Pgr regulation of ovulatory markers.
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology 2024 Februrary 10
The ovulatory response involves diverse molecular determinants, the interplay between which remains less investigated in fish. This study explores the temporal changes in the follicular microenvironment, regulatory factors, and underlying signaling events during ovulation in female zebrafish subjected to 14L:10D at 28 ± 1 °C in vivo vis-à-vis in hCG-stimulated full-grown (FG) follicles in vitro. Congruent with reduced GSH levels, SOD, and GPx activity, a graded increase in follicular free radicals, Nox4, and p38 MAPK phosphorylation in the morning hour groups (05:00 and 06:30) correlates positively with the ovulatory surge in inflammatory mediators (Tnf-α, Il-1β, Il-6, Nos2, and Cox-2). Further, elevated Pgr expression and its nuclear translocation, congruent with follicular lhcgr, star, and hsd20b2 upregulation in vivo, corroborates well with the transcriptional activation of genes (pla2g4aa, ptgesl, ptger4b, mmp9, adamts9), triggering ovulation in this species. Mechanistically, an elevated ovulatory response in hCG-treated FG follicles in vitro involves the upregulation of inflammatory mediators, pgr and ovulation-associated genes in a manner sensitive to PKA- and MAPK3/1-mediated signaling.
